I have my long time friend, Marc Jackson, on the podcast today. He's one of the most prolific drummers/musicians here in Orange County as he has played in a dozen or so bands in the past and currently gigs around with The Eulogy. He also is an incredible tattoo artist and we get into that subculture quite a bit in this chat. We also talk about the interesting experience of recording "You Don't Have To Be Blood To Be Family" with Throwdown at a hair metal "legends" studio.  Visit Rockabilia and use the code PC100WORDS for 15% off of your order.

We have TWO great conversations for the price of one today. First up, we have Frankie Blydenburgh from Rockabilia discussing with me the merch world, how bootlegs work and the changing ecosystem of that side of the business. INCREDIBLY fascinating stuff. Then, Aaron Gillespie from The Almost/Underoath jumps on the line and we get in DEEP with aesthetics, not being a "cool band" and anxiety. We also discuss his role as a father to his kids and so much more. Enjoy! Visit Rockabilia and use the code PC100WORDS for 15% off of your order.

Happy Thanksgiving! All the way from Sweden, I have Johannes from Cult Of Luna on the show today. I had wanted him on the show for quite a long time as I knew he'd share insights on Swedish hardcore and punk that very few could. We discuss Umea hardcore, finding balance in one's life and passion. He also shares some wild stories from the late 90's and the Umea hardcore scene that have to be heard. Visit Rockabilia and use the code PC100WORDS for 15% off of your order.

We have Tyler Riley the guitarist of modern metal core heroes Gideon, on the podcast today.
