100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

Episode 320 - STRAP IN, this episode is quite a journey. I have Lauren Kashan, the vocalist from hardcore band Sharptooth, on the show today. What starts off as a conversation getting to know her, takes a very dark turn and she discusses her substance abuse issues and her admission into a “rehab clinic” that essential, acts like a cult. It’s an incredibly powerful story and one that I was really appreciative for her sharing here. You must listen to this week, no joke it’s one of my favorite chats I have done to date.

Episode 319 - Today was an episode long coming, I have the man/myth/legend Sunny Singh from HateFiveSix on the show today! He’s responsible for documenting MANY bands via his website HateFiveSix and all around the internet. Essentially, he’s an archivist for all of your favorite punk/hardcore/metal bands. We discuss trolling, his passion for documenting bands and living in between two worlds. It’s a real insightful conversation that I am stoked to share.

Episode 317 - Coffee, lifer status and solitude. All of these things I discuss with today’s guest, Mike Hill from the band Tombs, Anodyne and the Everything Went Black podcast.

Episode 315 - If you like technical math rock (like I do) this week will be your jam! I have Yvette Young from Covet on the show. If you haven’t heard of her band, that’s totally fine as they JUST released their debut EP on Triple Crown Records (and it’s really good). She’s an incredibly compelling guest and we discuss tons of stuff like competition, building communities and the word “hella” in the Northern California eco-system. In all seriousness, we discuss some pretty important things and I’d love for you to come listen. Mack Weldon is the most comfortable clothing I’ve worn, period. Get $20 off by using the code WORDS.

Episode 314 - Please welcome my new friend, Matt Coplon to the show today. He’s the vocalist from “screamo” (the original description) heroes Reversal of Man and a professional BMX rider. I have wanted him on the show for quite some time and was excited that we finally made it happen. We talk about BMX riding (and if it is still considered lame by skate culture), poetry and unsustainable touring. It’s a glorious chat and you must listen!

He’s played in The Hope Conspiracy, Suicide File, Hesitation Wounds and much more.

FURTHER SEEMS FOREVER. I am happy to welcome my old friend, Jason Gleason on the show. He sang on the incredible FSF record, “How To Start A Fire” and was able to convince him to come on the show. The reason I say convince is that Jason hasn’t had the best experiences with press, but fortunately this was a walk in the park. We discuss his upbringing in Minneapolis, his time in Further Seems Forever and public vs private life. I really dug this chat so, DIG IN!

Episode 311 - Film and music. The two have been passions of mine and the guest this week for quite some time and I was excited to talk about it with the director, Michael Grodner. He most recently finished his first feature length film called The Icarus Line Must Die which is an incredible piece of work combining the LA punk scene and a film noir look at life in a band. He also directed many music videos that you have probably seen from bands like Planes Mistaken For Stars, Brazil and more. It’s a fascinating discussion of creating art in 2018 and beyond.
