100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

Anxious just put out one of my favorite LP's of this year. I know the year JUST started but you have to listen to "Little Green House" immediately. To celebrate I had my new friend Grady Allen, the vocalist of the band, on this week. He had a cold when we spoke, so pardon any stuffiness he had. We get into Connecticut hardcore, growing up musically in public and being active in the scene. Have fun!

Mario Rubalcaba is an incredible drummer and he has played in some of my favorite bands, which by default makes him one of my favorite drummers. Joking aside, I was excited to have a conversation with Mario about his time as a pro skater, the early 90's punk and hardcore scene as well as how he's collaborated with so many people across a wide variety of musical projects. Listen and enjoy!(programming note, my microphone cord was broken so it was picking up my backup audio, so I sound a little distant...sorry about that!)

All hail Alien Boy! Releasing one of my favorite LP's from last year, Alien Boy is a damn good band that you need to know about. Sonia Weber sings and plays guitar for the band, so naturally I had to pick her brain and find out more about them. We talk about the Portland DIY scene, her life in teaching guitar and the DIY Montana scene (no joke). Enjoy and hopefully you find your new favorite band after this discussion!

Gimmie a break, I get to hang out with Page Hamilton from Helmet on this very podcast? Yep, it happened and it was glorious. We discussed how the band never fit into any real scene, keeping his enthusiasm intact and working in the major label system for as long as they have. Get it!

What a treat this week as we have my friend Todd Mackey from With Honor on the podcast. They recently signed with Pure Noise Records and are in the process of getting some new music ready for 2022.

It's damn Ken Andrews week on the podcast! I couldn't be more thrilled to have the man behind Failure, Ken Andrews, on to discuss their new record, the insanity of the early late 80's and early 90's major label boom and Cave In. We go all over the place but Ken is such a pleasant chat, I could have hung with him for another hour. Oh don't worry, I also bring up Year of the Rabbit as well.

Here is a thoughtful chat with my new friend Kei Yasui who plays guitar in Have Heart and the awesome Drk Blu as well as a master of the webs (and design). We get into it and discuss the Boston Hardcore scene as Have Heart was getting their feet wet, design work and of course, the insane reunion shows that HH played (and how important they were to me and many others).

I am privileged to bring on Ken Shipley, the co-founder of an incredible label called Numero Group that specializes in releasing and archiving music of all styles including (and not limited to) Northern Soul, Gospel, Folk and more recently early screamo. Their re-issues of some seminal recordings from Codine, Karate, Indian Summer and more made me fall in love with the label even deeper so I HAD to have Ken on the podcast. We discussed his upbringing in the punk/hardcore scene, his curation roots and the process (for him) of putting out records.
