V&V Episode 121 Adam MacGregor(Brown Angel, Soft Corner, microwaves) & Van Halen's 1984
July 02, 2024 10:00 - 2 hours - 115 MBAdam MacGregor is a long time friend, and we've been talking about doing one of these for quite some time. And now finally here we are! I heard you missed us, we're BACK! Kidding aside, folks, this was a great talk with Adam who is a very talented multi-instrumentalist. He's been in many bands, but he's spending his time these days focusing on two projects, Brown Angel and Soft Corner. Both representing different halves of his artistic brain. And Van Halen's 1984, being a central focus of i...
V&V Episode 120 Chris "Simo" Simonelli (GNARNIA) & Sublime's 40 oz. to Freedom
June 15, 2024 10:00 - 1 hour - 219 MBThis is a very special episode for me. Today's guest is none other than the front man of the band I've joined, GNARNIA. I've know Chris for some time now, and he's always struck me as a cool guy. Nice dude. Welcoming. And a hell of a front person. I've been a genuine fan before being a member. So this was a great public opportunity for me to get to know him better. This was an in person interview, so there are some irregularities about it, but that's just the way it goes. He came in to talk ...
V&V Episode 119 Jon Ehlers(Bangladeafy) & NIN's The Downward Spiral
May 22, 2024 10:00 - 1 hour - 95 MBJon is very much a New Yorker, though and through. Not exactly what I expected when approached with the idea of speaking to a "industrial" artist that makes heavy, synth driven punk about Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral. Further confounding was the idea that he has been hearing disabled for the majority of his life. That was something that made it irresistible to pass up. And I'm glad I didn't. Bangladeafy is carving out their own path of heavy synth based rock with a punk intensity and...
V&V Episode 118 Sarah Greenwell(Gymshorts/Greeensleeves) & Girls' Album
April 29, 2024 10:00 - 1 hour - 95.6 MBSuper excited to bring this conversation I had with Sarah Greenwell to your ears! If by chance you're not familiar with Sarah's bands(Gymshorts or Greeensleeves) you should really look into them. Especially if you know and like Girls debut album, Album. There are certainly some similarities, and I have to say, I love both equally. Gymshorts is the vehicle by which Sarah does the majority of her touring, and though they don't have any dates announced as of yet, they're bound to have something...
V&V Episode 117 Matt McGuyer(Amblare, Mock Orange) & Chavez's Ride The Fader
April 08, 2024 10:00 - 1 hour - 104 MBMatt McGuyer is an incredibly talented singer and songwriter. As you'll learn through this conversation, he's been surrounded by and learning how to play music since he was 5! And it shows! Though, he has not been able to get any recorded works published until now, I can only assume the floodgates have been bashed open and we'll be hearing a lot more from Matt. This conversation is a bit heavy handed on the loss of Bryan St. Pere. Only because Amblare's new album will most likely be it's o...
V&V Episode 116 Jem Moloney(Dead, We Empty Rooms) & Harvey Milk's A Small Turn of Human Kindness
April 01, 2024 10:00 - 2 hours - 118 MBUpon being approached to speak with Jem from We Empty Rooms in Castlemaine, AU, I had to dig into as much of the Dead catalog as possible(there's a lot!). Then I found out about the types of releases WER does, like Dead's new album, Burn Us Clean, a box set of 9 split 7" singles! Most everything they release has amazing artwork which is all silksreened. Then Jem chose this album by Harvey Milk! Fucking bonkers! There's so much to get into, and maybe that's why this show is a little longer th...
V&V Episode 115 Charlie Schmid(Del Judas) & Chris Isaak's Silvertone
March 07, 2024 11:00 - 1 hour - 100 MBIt's nice to be able to dive into something other than heavy, loud, aggressive, noise rock. Not that there's anything wrong with that. And my guest today, Charlie Schmid, would probably agree with me. Having been the drummer for bands like Vaura and Tombs, he's no stranger to loud aggressive music. With that being said, you might think maybe listening to and making music like Chris Isaak is the stranger thing. But it's not. And hopefully this conversation can shed a little bit of light on wh...
V&V Episode 114 Christian Lembach(Whores.) & Helmet's Meantime
February 26, 2024 11:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBGoddamnit! Whores is one hell of a band! New album is coming out April 16 on The Ghost is Clear Records. Vinyl presale is underway now and already on it's third pressing! Get it while you can. Lord knows it might be your only chance. Despite what you might think of the band's name, Christian(and I'm sure the other members of the band) ia a kind sweet person that just happen to make brutal, gut punching music. And if you're a fan of heavy noise rock and such, this is the band you want to know...
V&V Episode 113 Blake Bickel(Bronson Arm) & Melvins' Houdini
February 02, 2024 11:00 - 1 hour - 72.3 MBBlake Bickel is an interesting dude. In this talk I get as deep as I can into his past, growing up while moving frequently. Desperately trying to get his hands on exciting music while trying to find his own passion. Eventually stumbling across The Melvins, and it was all over from there. If you know and like Melvins' Houdini, there's a good chance you like Blake's band, Bronson Arm. They're similarly very heavy and aggressive music, but it's my opinion that Bronson Arm adds a touch more melo...
V&V Episode 112 Eddie Shaw of The Monks
January 24, 2024 15:18 - 1 hour - 63.5 MBIt is an honor to bring to you Eddie Shaw! The bass player of The Monks! The Monks have been a long time influence and inspiration to me, personally, as well as being a influence over countless bands since 1966 through today thanks to the rediscovery of the band through Ugly Things Magazine in the 90's. Their album, Black Monk Time, has since been reissue many times through many labels and they have even had some previously unreleased songs released for the first time through Jack White's Th...
V&V Episode 111 Paul Chastain(The Small Square, Velvet Crush) & The dB's Stands for Decibels
December 04, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 89.7 MBIt's an honor to bring to you Paul Chastain. The former leader of 90's band Velvet Crush has never stopped keeping busy. For some time he was simultaneously doing Velvet Crush while being part of Matthew Sweet's band and now has a newer project with John Richardson(Tommy Keene, Gin Blossoms, Badfinger etc.) called The Small Square. Their new album Ours & Others is available now through Farm to Label Records and streaming everywhere you find music. Here are some links: http://www.smallsquar...
V&V Episode 110 Lung(Kate Wakefield/Daisy Caplan) & Smart Went Crazy's Con Art
November 22, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 72.7 MBI forgot to mention Happy Thanksgiving! It's very easy to lose track of things during these hectic times. Sorry. I'm very happy to bring you Lung! A unique duo from Cincinnati. And what is ostensibly a second half to my previous conversation with Conan Neutron. Lung being the first half of the Adult Prom Split LP from Learning Curve Records. which you should buy here: https://lunglunglung.bandcamp.com/ This was a great conversation which starts, like most all these conversations, with in ...
V&V Episode 109 Conan Neutron & The Damned's Machine Gun Etiquette
November 08, 2023 11:00 - 2 hours - 121 MBSo excited to bring you my conversation with Conan Neutron! The music maker, podcast host, and festival curator stopped in to speak with me today about The Damned's 1979 punk rock masterpiece, Machine Gun Etiquette, as well as all the other things! Family life, discovering music, inner workings of podcasting, The new split LP with Lung, Adult Prom on Learning Curve Records and so much more! It's a little lengthy, but if you're familiar with @ProtonicReversal you can understand. It gets a l...
V&V Episode 108 Doug Mioducki(Quits) & Sonny Sharrock's Black Woman
October 23, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 70.7 MBOh man! This was a hard one. Do you know this album? Does it illicit pain, discomfort, joy, sadness, grief or shame? Maybe all those things within one song? If you have heard this album and not experienced at least two of those feelings, you may have missed the point. I and my guest, Doug of Quits, may not be scholars of music, and free jazz in particular, but I don't think you need to be to understand this album on an emotional level. With that being said we hope this show with as many ...
V&V Episode 107 Klaire of Guji & The Monks' The Early Years 1964-1965
October 02, 2023 20:39 - 1 hour - 87.1 MBIt's funny how some bands just develop a buzz about them fairly quick, while others seem to disappear into mediocrity. Both can be said about both of these groups. Guji is a very new band that, at the time of this recording, have only played a handful of shows and release their first recording. And here they are getting publicity and having their album released by a label. Whereas, The Monks had only finally received any kind of notoriety decades after they broke up. Either way, they are bot...
V&V Episode 106 Ben Krause(NECKBOLT) & Don Caballero's American Don
September 22, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 92.6 MBHappy release day to my guest, Ben Krause and his band NECKBOLT hailing from Psychedelic rock ground zero, Austin, TX! On the day of this release, NECKBOLT is releasing their second album, dream dump, on Born Yesterday Records. It is available now wherever you stream your music, but please don't forget to purchase a copy of it on vinyl here: https://neckbolt.bandcamp.com/album/dream-dump This was a difficult talk to prepare for but it went very smoothly thanks to Ben. Not only do I encoura...
V&V Episode 105 Steve Moore(Zombi) & Goblin's Their Hits, Rare Tracks and Outtakes
September 11, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 72.6 MBEach episode has it's challenges in researching the chosen album by the guest. Some are not so hard. Maybe even easy. Others make you wish you were dead. That's not saying that this is a horrible album. It's not. It's a great album by a great band. A mythical group that I think is fairly obscure. Obviously there are a great number of people that know and love Goblin, but even with that being said, how many of those people truly know much about this band? Well, my guest today does. Steve Mo...
V&V Episode 104 Sean Prior (Intercourse) & Slint's Spiderland
August 31, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 81.1 MBThis is one episode I found it hard to prepare for. It seems I have a string of them coming, but this is the first I tried to tackle. Slint's Spiderland. Christ man, it's a difficult record, but me and my guest today, Sean Prior, had a great time trying! He's in a terrific band called Intercourse. They have a new album. Not necessarily like Slint, but there are some elements there. You should make up your own mind and get it here: https://intercourse.bandcamp.com/album/halo-castration-inst...
V&V Episode 103 Ev Gold(Cinema Cinema) & Fugazi's In On The Killtaker
August 18, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 95.1 MBLadies and gentlemen, I bring to you today, Ev Gold! The singer songwriter and guitarist for Cinema Cinema from Brooklyn, NY. Ev was a great guest to have on for this show because, not only is enthusiastic admiration for this band and album, but he has first hand knowledge of being in Inner Ear Studios, where this album was recorded. And with revered engineer/producer Don Zientara for multiple recordings of CC. Don, also being the engineer for In On The Killtaker. Amazing frame of referenc...
V&V Episode 102 Daniel Gene(Mirakler) and Metallica's Black Album
July 27, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 79.4 MBToday, Daniel Gene, of Pittsburg band, Mirakler, joined me live in the studio to discuss what kind of impact Metallica's Black Album had on his adolescent brain. To my surprise, this album of his choice was chosen because of more of a negative impact than the typical gushingly positive reason. Still intriguing. Possibly more just for that reason. At the time of this recording, Daniel was on tour, but by they time you hear this it'll be just ending with dates with Cherubs and T-Tops in PA. ...
V&V Episode 101 David Schellenberg(Tunic) & Weezer's Pinkerton
July 07, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 84.5 MBWe're back! After a short break, we're very happy to bring you David Schellenberg of the band Tunic from Winnipeg, Canada. In this episode, I share all that I could gather about Weezer's Pinkerton, jumble it up and put it up against David and Tunic's catalog and try to determine what similarities they have if any. If you'd like to try to reach the same delineation, I encourage you to listen to and/or buy all of Tunic's records here: https://tunicband.bandcamp.com/album/wrong-dream or here: ...
V&V Episode 100 Justin Pearson(Deaf Club, The Locust, Dead Cross) & NOMEANSNO's Wrong
May 25, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 94.5 MBOn this, our 100th episode, I couldn't be more excited to bring to you Justin Pearson! Founder of ThreeOneG Records. Member of bands such as Struggle, Swing Kids, Retox, Deaf Club, Dead Cross and many others. Justin has been on my short list for some time now, but I could never have imagined how this was going to turn out. Being that these interviews and the questions therein, are formulated through the context of the chosen album. And knowing that there were so many possible choices, it blo...
V&V Episode 099 Curran Reynolds (Body Stuff, Wetnurse, Today is The Day) & Jane's Addiction's Nothing's Shocking
May 12, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBVery excited to bring to you Curran Reynolds! Curran is an exceptional musician who has been at it for more than half his life. From humble beginnings in rural Maine, to performing world wide with Today is the Day. This is a great talk that really goes in depth of Curran's history, life experiences and opinions, all revolving around the topic of discussion, Jane's Addiction's debut album, Nothing's Shocking. Curran's latest project, Body Stuff is releasing it's first full length album(4) aft...
V&V Episode 098 MIIRRORS(Brian McSweeney & Shawn Rios) & Air's Talkie Walkie
April 24, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 88.1 MBMIIRRORS started out between my guests, Brian McSweeney and Shawn Rios. The duo had been working together for many years before finally piecing together a cohesive 5 piece. Now fully formed and established they'll be hitting the road in support of their latest full length from Pravda Records, Motion and Picture. It's a great album full of moody balladry and sparkling hooks through a nuanced sonic landscape. At times smooth and sleek and others bombastic and jagged. But don't take my word for...
V&V Episode 097 Vashti Bunyan & Lambchop's OH(Ohio)
April 07, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 89.1 MBI am honored to bring to you today, my conversation with Vashti Bunyan. Who is Vashti, you may ask. Well, she has a book out now, with a paperback release coming this fall, called Wayward: Just Another Life to Live. So, if you'd like to know all the details, I implore you to buy it here: https://a.co/d/9XW5tuI I'm not trying to support Amazon, I just can't find the publisher's direct website. In a nutshell, Vashti became disheartened by the record industry, decided to quit music and foll...
V&V Episode 096 Scott Crow(Lesson 7, Emergency Hearts label)& U2's The Unforgettable Fire
March 28, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 97.4 MBHope you had your coffee, because my guest today, Scott Crow, is coming in hot! This is one of those high octane episodes that was so much fun to have. Scott really dug into the idea of trying to narrow down the idea of picking ONE album that could be considered integral to his understanding of music, and I think he made an excellent choice. Though we both agree to not care for the band U2 in the slightest, it does prove to be true that at the time Scott was introduced to this band and that ...
V&V Episode 095 Ivan Julian(The Voidoids, Matthew Sweet, Outsets) & The Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers
March 14, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 73.5 MBHere's another monumental one! We're very honored to bring you Ivan Julian, the legendary guitarist for bands such as Richard Hell & The Voidoids, Matthew Sweet, Outsets, Shriekback and more! This helps connect a few of the threads in musical history that this whole show has been about. This was a great conversation focused moon an album important to Ivan, The Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers, which is a bad mutherfucker of an album! Ivan has a new album out on Pravda Records and I encourage y...
V&V Episode 094 John Leon(The Royal Arctic Institute) & Game Theory's Lolita Nation
March 13, 2023 13:49 - 1 hour - 103 MBToday's episode I have a great talk with John Leon. He is the guitarist and founding member of The Royal Arctic Institute, a great instrumental band from NY! And the album topic of discussion is Game Theory's Lolita Nation. I've never heard this band until now. So, this is one of those weird pairing's where the guest, influenced by this album of choice, isn't currently making music that sounds anything like the topic album. For a music lover, it's really not that weird, but if you like Game T...
V&V Episode 093 Daryl Black Eagle Jamieson & Medicine Singers
February 20, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 68.3 MBThings are evolving again. We're not completely changing format, but for the right guest and/or circumstance, I'll gladly bend the rules. Today's episode features my talk with Daryl Black Eagle Jamieson. Leader of the Eastern Medicine Singers which makes up more than half of the Joyful Noise/Stone Tapes recording artists, Medicine Singers. After I caught them, completely by accident, I was compelled to try to reach out and get them for the show. So, here we are. I'll admit, I was a little ne...
V&V Episode 092 Martin Bisi(BC Studio, engineer, producer) & The Dresden Dolls
February 08, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 110 MBHere's something fantastic! Typically on this show we discuss an influential album with an artist that was influenced by it. But today we have Martin Bisi, to discuss an album that was an influence on him, but through helping to create it. Martin met Amanda Palmer in 2001 prior to The Dresden Dolls having even really fully formed. He followed their development over a year ultimately leading up to their, almost, year long stay at BC Studios to record their seminal debut. In this discussion ...
V&V Episode 091 Bobby Matador(Oneida) & The Fall's The Domesday Pay-off Triad Plus!
January 17, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 91.1 MBFirst episode of the New Year, and we're coming in hot! Bobby Matador of Oneida joins us today to provide some insight on what The Fall's Domesday Pay-Off Triad Plus! meant to his young musical development as well as what it means to him now. For those of you who might not be familiar with this weird, limited U.S. edition, it is essentially a version of Bend Sinister. That's only what I came to find out as this discussion unfolded. Little tricky, but we made due and got a great conversation ...
V&V Episode 090 Chris X of Reptilian Records
December 28, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 67.1 MBHere we are having a little break from our typical format. This episode we speak with Chris X. Founder of Reptilian Records. A former record store turned record label which has been slugging away for about 26 years now. No small feat considering they started in the 90's during the largely anti-vinyl period of music to the now booming vinyl sales but sluggish, at best, production times. Chris has got a lot working against him, but he's still managed, not only, to keep his head afloat the ever...
V&V Episode 089 Alee Karim(The Atomic Bomb Audition) and Pink Floyd's Animals
December 09, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 84.3 MBOn this episode, we take you to beautiful, sunny California to speak with Alee Karim. Guitarist and vocalist for The Atomic Bomb Audition. Their new album, Future Mirror, is available now wherever you listen to music. The band's music tends to lean on the heavier side and is categorized as metal for the most part, but there's so much more to this band than just that. Just by listening to the first couple of singles, it's pretty clear that this album has some serious hooks and heavily anthemi...
V&V Episode 088 Mark C (Live Skull) & Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures
November 23, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 93.2 MBOh Man! This is one of those that really hits all the marks of what this show is all about. Mark C and his band, Live Skull, who have been hard at work as one of those bands that helped define the noise rock genre, is here to explain just that! Through a history lesson of music and art culture from one of the most intriguing era's of music and art from a guy who was living it, while digging deep into his thoughts on what was one of the most influential albums to him as a developing artist at...
V&V Episode 087 Daniel Kelley(Moral Panic) & The Adolescents' Blue Album
November 16, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 78.2 MBDaniel Kelley is the front person for Moral Panic from NYC. The weird part about getting to talk to artists about an album that was influential to them, is that sometimes they just don't line up perfectly. This pairing is fairly close, but the unique thing about Moral Panic is that they dance a line between traditional punk and rock. Almost verging on a noise rock element. Very cool stuff. We encourage you to take a listen for yourself and if you enjoy it, consider purchasing any of their al...
V&V Episode 086 Seb Alvarez (Virgin Mother, meth.) & Sparklehorse's It's a Wonderful Life
November 08, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 79.3 MBAfter a whirlwind weekend in Texas for No Coast and Levitation Fest, we're back with Seb Alvarez from Chicago, creator of Virgin Mother and vocalist for meth. In a very short span of time, Virgin Mother has 5 short releases under their belt, and now have their first full length, Morning Ritual, out now. You can find it here: https://virginmother.bandcamp.com/ For those of you who may know Seb from the bands he's been in, the idea of talking about a record like that of Sparklehorse's It's a...
V&V Episode 085 Jeff Helland (Hoaries, White Drugs) Founder and Organizer of No Coast Fest
October 24, 2022 10:00 - 50 minutes - 92.9 MBHere we are with #10. The final installment of our Noise Rock Series for No Coast Fest 2022 with Fest organizer and founder, Jeff Helland. For this episode I forwent the topic of an important album so that we could focus on the details of the fest and Jeff's personal opinion on what the hell noise rock even is. This is what I consider to be a very touching and heartfelt show because, if nothing else, doing this series has lead me to realize the importance and impact music has on all our live...
V&V Episode 084 Heet Deth (Julia Bard & Laila Eskin) & System of a Down's Toxicity
October 22, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 73 MBHere we are with #9 in our noise rock series for No Coast Fest 2022, and the second to last! I'm pleased to bring you Heet Deth! An absolutely fantastic duo from Chicago with some heavy garage leaning bombastic rock n' roll. Dying Scene.com calls them, “Queer opera nerds turned rockers throwing a perpetual apocalypse party!” And that pretty much sums it up. This was a great conversation which touches on all things involved in that quote and then some. Lots of fun and laughs were had. Their ...
V&V Episode 083 Shawn Knight(Child Bite) & Mr. Bungle's Disco Volante
October 17, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 69.7 MB#8 in our noise rock series for No Coast Fest 2022. Today's special guest is Shawn Knight of the band Child Bite from Detriot, MI. We were supposed to talk about Disco Volante, but we kinda veered off the road into wild and weird destinations. Mostly about the connections between art and music, which pertains to the album of choice, but I gave Shawn the reigns to discuss his art and music because it's so damn good. I encourage anyone to take a look at Child Bite's discography and all the art...
V&V Episode 082 Crissy Cuellar (Moon Pussy) & Fugazi's End Hits
October 10, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 74.4 MBHere we are with #7 in our noise rock series for No Coast Fest 2022! Today we have Crissy Cuellar of Moon Pussy. An abrasively loud three piece hailing from Denver, CO. We discuss her band, some social issues based on the content of the music, future plans and of course getting to No Coast! If you want to help support the band, please consider following them on social media or buying some merchandise, all of which can be found at their website: https://moonpussy.band/ Go see them at No Co...
V&V Episode 081 The Kronk Men & Scratch Acid's Berserker EP
October 03, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBHere we are with #6 in our noise rock series for No Coast Fest 2022 with Bend, Oregon's The Kronk Men. Much like their name, they have a unique sound that is not only instrumental but powerful, aggressive, and at times even a little unsettling. This was a great talk getting into their minds a little while figuring out where that name came from, what they consider noise rock, and of course, their experiences with Scratch Acid's Berserker EP. A pillar of the noise rock movement. Great talk. If...
V&V Episode 080 w/ The Hammer Party & Earth Abides
September 26, 2022 10:00 - 33 minutes - 31.1 MB#5 in the noise rock series featuring bands performing at No Coast Fest 2022, I bring to you Providence locals, The Hammer Party. Coming to you from their personal headquarters during a practice session, the guys made a little time to discuss their new EP, what it took to get there, getting to No Coast and one other small surprise we've been waiting to announce. Find out more and check for last minute updates and details at their social media here: https://www.instagram.com/thehammerpartyof...
V&V Episode 079 Jesse Matthewson(KEN Mode) & Today is the Day's Willpower
September 19, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 146 MB#4 in our noise rock series for No Coast Fest 2022. Today we bring you lead vocalist and guitarist of Canada's KEN Mode. With these episodes being a little shorter than our usual, I feel like we glossed over the album of discussion, Today is the Day's second album, Willpower. It is also obscure enough to be very difficult to research. But Jesse is a seasoned veteran of the noise rock scene so I focused more on that, and I think we covered some informative ground for his fans of old and new. ...
V&V Episode 078 Dave Kuzy(microwaves) & The Jonzun Crew's Lost in Space
September 12, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 115 MB#3 in our noise rock series featuring bands performing at No Coast Fest 2022. Next up is Dave Kuzy, guitarist and singer of Pittsburgh's ((microwaves)). Here's a great example an unlikely influence an album may have had over an artist. Great short conversation covering that influence, as well as microwaves' upcoming tour, new album and new single, which are out right now! As a matter of fact, you can get them both right here: https://microwaves.bandcamp.com/album/discomfiture-atlas And, of...
V&V Episode 077 Gareth Thomas(USA Nails) & The Sound's Jeopardy
September 05, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 123 MBHere is our second episode in a series of noise rock bands performing at No Coast Fest 2022 at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios in Dentox, TX! This time we're going to London, England to speak with Gareth Thomas of USA Nails. As you'll hear me say in the show, if you like noise rock music at all, there's a good chance you'll like this band and should look into any and all of their records which you can find here: https://usanails.bandcamp.com/ and, of course you should go see them at No Coa...
V&V Episode 076 T-Tops(Pat Waters, Mike Koch, Matt Schor) & Nirvana's In Utero
August 30, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 66.6 MBHere we are with the first installment of our Noise Rock series featuring bands performing at No Coast Fest 2022 in Denton, TX at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios. Very excited to bring you T-Tops from Pittsburgh, PA. This talk starts the greater conversation of what noise rock is and what it means to the bands who make it. Pretty profound especially starting with this album, Nirvana's In Utero. We encourage you to support T-Tops by buying their latest album here: https://t-tops.bandcamp.com...
V&V Episode 075 Sleepyhead(Rachael McNally, Chris O'Rourke, Derek van Beever & Tom Petty's Greatest Hits
August 23, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 214 MBIn relation to music industry standards, 6 years between records could be a kiss of death. But for a band like Sleepyhead, it's just what they needed to incubate a collection of songs carefully crafted at legendary Q Division Studios.
