Mike Harding of Touch sat down with us to go down the memory hole of his history. We go from the beginnings of Touch all the way to this year’s 40th anniversary. Harding gives us the background of working with many Touch artists and how elaborate releases from the early days came together. The landscape of sound has changed time and time again over the decades, but Touch remains.

Bill Orcutt of Harry Pussy joins us today for a great historical discussion on a different branch of noise. In the 90s along with bands like To Live and Shave in LA and Laundry Room Squelchers, Harry Pussy tore apart all semblance of good taste and set proper foundations ablaze. Miami in the ’90s was a wild place and Orcutt was right in the middle. We also get into his return to sound and his current work. What was music?

Sean Ragon (Cult of Youth) was the perfect person to join us to uncover the classic Metgumbnerbone “Ligeliahorn” LP on A-Mission Records from 1983. A truly mysterious project, Metgumbnerbone creates their own world and we are all more than happy to walk around the industrial ruins and abandoned mills where the recordings were made. This album is a staple for post-industrial and is cloaked in a fantastic mythology ripe for discovery. The new Cult of Youth double LP “With Open Arms” is coming out this fall on Hospital Productions. For the ExtraNoisextra on the patreon we discuss Sean’s tape and zine archival techniques.
