100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

I love the feeling of discovering new music, even when a band isn't technically "new" and Svalbard, did just that for me this year. I had to have Serena on the show, so we made it happen. Their new LP "When I Die, Will I Get Better" blew me away so Serena and I discuss that, the UK press, being an outsider and of course, roller coasters. Dive in and find out more about your new favorite band.

Turning Point. What a legendary band and I had the chance to speak to Jay Laughlin, who played guitar in the band as well as Godspeed (highly overlooked post-Turning Point emo band) and his current band, Honey (a rad metal band). We discuss how he views his musical legacy, how much it cost them to record "It's Always Darkest Before the Dawn" and being creative at all costs. Jay is a lifer and I am sure glad he's put out all of the music he has.

Supporting your local scene is an important thing for ANY type of music, especially DIY punk/hardcore. Andy Franchere is an embodiment of that. He sang for the band Diehard Youth and currently plays in Ill Communication but more importantly, he is instrumental in encouraging his local scene. Andy's story may sound familiar because you most likely know someone like him, which is why I am glad to feature this discussion with him. We discuss his life as a firefighter, growing a scene and knowing your limits. Even though you may not know his bands, Andy's story will ring true to many of you.

As he makes his podcast rounds, Aaron Marshall from Intervals stops by the show to talk about how the heck an instrumental metal band got so popular. We discuss in depth his decision to release his own records and maintain control, slow growth and the idea of turning his passion for music into an actual career. It's a deep dive into the business side of things but also an insightful look at the creative process. Enjoy!

Pop punk is alive and well! Joe Taylor is the lead vocalist for Knuckle Puck and I am glad to have him on the show this week. We discuss having to grow up fast, being practical and doing your best to avoid cliches. He was honest and revealing, which is frankly what I want out of these conversations so...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

I think this may be one of the first "ska" bands I have had on the show, but let's be honest...Less Than Jake is more than that. Chris Demakes is a great dude and this discussion about his band was very revealing. We were able to discuss punk rock guilt, navigating the highs and lows of a long music career and of course, we talk about Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Let's go!

This episode was a fun one for me and VERY self serving as I absolutely love this band called Die My Will. The band is very much a "undiscovered gem" and frankly, they weren't that prolific or long lasting but always stuck in my head. Jeff played drums in the band and we get to nerd out about the band and their place within the metal core world and playing 17 minute sets. Enjoy and hopefully you will find one of your new favorite bands.

I am honored to have Evan Patterson from Jaye Jayle, Young Widows, Breather Resist and so much more on the show today. Him and I go way back but it's been years since we spoke and dove right into it discussing his musical identity, living in Louisville and DIY living at all costs. He's an inspiring musician that continues to push himself with all of his work.

We are lucky to have on Nate Garrett from Spirit Adrift today on the podcast. If you haven't heard their blend of metal heaviness, do yourself a favor and dive right in. Nate is an incredibly interesting dude and we discussed being vulnerable, the Little Rock music scene and his battle with addiction. Immediately after we started talking I felt a kinship with him and I hope you feel the same way. Enjoy!
