Vikings Have Emotions Too - Greg Moir of Withering Earth

June 01, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 79.6 MB

I honestly walked into this episode uncertain of how it would go. Though I had a huge amount of respect for Greg and Withering Earth, love how they put themselves together and execute, I was never the worlds biggest Viking metal fan. But this may have been the most emotional and connected episodes we’ve yet to do. Greg spoke with such certainty and passion about what he does and loves. So much so that he got chills every time he dove deeply into a topic. It was incredibly inspiring, and sho...

The Secret behind Secret Keeper - Thomas Filbert

May 25, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 69.9 MB

Thomas is one of the sad kings of the band Secret Keeper. If you know them, you’ve probably cried to one or two of their songs before.

A drum shoe company who has worked with names such as Alex RĂŒdinger, Thomas Lang, and countless others. And to add to his list of artistry, he’s s phenomenal graphic designer, who has...

What is the Shape of the Universe? With Alex Thomson of Impulses

May 18, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 69.4 MB

One of the most wild conversations we’ve yet to have. Reaching FAR outside of music, into more philosophical debate, Alex Thomson explains and expands a world that most of us don’t dare to venture towards. Alex and I have always gone deep into conversational rabbit holes, so I’m incredibly thankful we were able to naturally capture that for the podcast.

High socks with Josh Lopez of Laser Praiser

May 11, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 77.1 MB

Laser Praiser is a hidden gem in our little local scene. They bring incredible guitar work, fun song writing and structuring, and a phenomenal voice is that Josh Lopez. Josh is a super creative, and humbly talented singer and guitarist. It was a pleasure to get to know him, as I had just found out about his band...and now I’m glad to bring them to you.

I brought you flours with Nancy Crozier of Days Spent

May 04, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 61.4 MB

Nancy has been in the Brevard metal and hardcore scene for YEARS now. She’s been in more bands than I can name, so I’ll just name my favorite of her past bands Meridian. Now the vocalist of hardcore band Days Spent, she is unleashing the energy that the scene has been missing since her last project. This was a great and fun conversation, diving into topics we haven’t gotten to touch on yet with any previous guest...including baking?!? Find Days Spent music here: https://open.spotify.com/a...

Nu-Shame with NoSelf’a Dylan Kleinhans

April 27, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 66 MB

If you frequent shows in Central Florida, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of NoSelf. Really separating themselves from other bands, they bring an immense amount of life energy that you can’t help joining in on. You’ll find yourself jumping and bouncing to the beat of each of their songs, mesmerized by the perfectly timed performances of their entire band. Dylan brings an inspiring amount of energy on stage, yet, is surprisingly calming to talk to. His drive to put himself out there and g...

Chillin’ in his Sweats - Joey Prendergast of Rivers

April 20, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 68 MB

Maybe an odd person for me to write an introduction up for but here goes. Joey is one of the most talented and learning-driven musicians I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with. If there’s a problem, he will teach himself the solution. And if there’s a challenge, he’s always found a way to overcome it. Learning some of the most impossible vocal phrasing’s, cadences, paces, and being the tech guy in Rivers, it’s been an honor to work alongside him. Djam Rivers’ music here: ht...

A Schizophrenic Story with Josh Sin of The Sinema

April 13, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 55.8 MB

Josh is an entertainer in the truest sense. Embodying different characters on stage, performing with an intensity that keeps your attention, and creating worlds of meaning in his songs. Howie and Josh dominated this conversation as Chris  struggles along beside them. This is one of the wildest conversations we’ve yet to have.

“Goodlord” - Wesley Mitchel and Jono Sanchez of Goonlord

April 06, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 68.5 MB

Goodlord it’s Goonlord! We know them for their sludgey riffs and huge sounding vocals. But you won’t believe how these songs are created... Wesley is one of the sweetest dudes, who continues to push himself to find new talents. Jono is the riff king, who really knows how to throw down on stage, if you haven’t seen Goonlord live....you’re missing out. Does this conversation get us a Liquid Death sponsorship?? Let’s make it happen. Goonlord’s music:  https://open.spotify.com/artist/08bX...

Pentatonics and smashed instruments with Rob Mahoney and Collin Morrison of Breathing Theory

March 30, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 65.2 MB

We all know Rob Mahoney is the pentatonic King, trying to keep the in the box playing alive. Collin divulges a shocking story of burying a guitar. This guys are the power duo of shred behind Breathing Theory. We talked a ton about their new material and how it was working with a top rated producer, how that affected their sound and the process of writing this material.  This episode is definitely fun for the music nerds/guitarists.

“Pseudo Pretentious Way of Having to Say Nothing” with Eric Mann and Alex Eños of Heaven’s Void

March 23, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 73.7 MB

There’s a new band around. Their name is Heaven’a Void, consisting of THE Eric Mann and backed by Alex, Glen, and Omar (who I was told needs to hang out at shows and talk to more people). Anybody who knows Eric Mann knows he’s a hilarious, and a great conversation. Accompanied by Alex (who gasps for air the entire time), the two offer us a fun, high energy and interesting slew of conversation. Buckle up...this one gets wild.

Is his real name ACTUALLY Johnny Nobody? Johnny is one of the most driven, and straight to the point guys I know. He won’t beat around the bush with you, and he definitely didn’t in this episode.

Singer of one of Central Florida’s longest standing bands, the guy who has rebuilt countless times, pushed the limits of his own doubts, carried on no matter what the obstacle...the man with the voice of an angelic choir, singled down into one voice, the one and only....Cory Britt. Cory has STORIES. And we didn’t have enough time to comb through all of them, but we did manage to extract an immense amount of passion condensed into a few stories.

We got to chill (get it?) with Cold Subject’s frontman Anthony Martinez. This guy is an absolute snowball of potential, as you’ll find out.

February 09, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 68.1 MB

We got into some seriously dark stuff with Zak Warner and Dante Parenti of Catcher and the Rye....as you could expect. Satan, witchcraft, rituals, BAND INITIATIONS??

February 02, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 74.1 MB

Albert is an absolute genius who erupts honest and life changing knowledge and perspective while we dive into the hidden...and not so hidden meanings of Viedma’s songs. Howie hurt himself before this episode so..he couldn’t be a part of it...although I’m not sure what a hurt arm has to do with talking to us. Anyways send him flowers I guess.

"I Didnt Write That.." Sebastian Osorio and Justin Ramos of Impulses

January 26, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 63.7 MB

These are some of the kindest dudes we’ve gotten to meet, their dynamic is beautiful. Not to mention...the Impulsive peanut gallery (no pun intended-....yeah pun intended).  Before we talked I was told “yeah dude, I pretty much wrote -insert multiple song names-“....I guess as we dug through we learned this was a massive group effort...I still have no clue who writes this stuff, all I know is...”yeah I didn’t write that”.
