100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

Happy to have the incredibly prolific indie/emo musician Ace Enders on the pod this week! He is the main singer/songwriter for The Early November and let's be honest, if you grew up in the 2000's you know that already. Ace is a open and honest human and he shows that here as we get very introspective about his thoughts on nostalgia, ego and things coming naturally to people. The Early November just released a new LP on Pure Noise Records so go listen to that right after you finish this episode.

Viva la Birds In Row! We are lucky to go international here with Bart Balboa, the lead vocalist and guitarist from French screamo/hardcore/metal/awesome band Birds In Row. We discuss his life growing up in the rural French countryside, where his interest in politics began and how he got involved in being a tattoo artist. It's a great look into how band life operates internationally and the differences in our particular scenes.

So incredibly stoked to welcome Brett Campbell from Pallbearer which is one of my favorite bands doing this style right now. It's melodic, it's doom, it's everything you could want from heavy music and I had to bounce around his brain to be able to find out more. We discuss the Little Rock scene, being a technical player and finding your way. He's an introspective and self depreciating dude which made for a fun discussion.

Welcome back to The Hope Conspiracy and to celebrate their new LP that just hit, we had the vocalist Kevin Baker on the show. He's always been a somewhat mythic figure so was happy to be able to ask him questions about his love of hockey, 90's metalcore and coming up in the Boston scene. Despite his nihilistic music, Kevin is a damn sweetheart and had a lot of fun. We also touch on his other bands like Piecemeal, All Pigs Must Die and the often overlooked, Bars. Enjoy the discussion!

Anytime I get a guest that is connected to punk/hardcore/indie rock, but isn't immediately obvious that they are involved is my sweet spot. You know Fred Armisen, he's been on Saturday Night Live, a creator/actor on Portlandia and frankly, so much more but were you aware of his deep roots within punk/hardcore/indie rock? It's absolutely there and we get into it plus, I am able to pick his brain about the iconic "Crisis Of Conformity" sketch on SNL as well as his band Trenchmouth. It's my pleasure to bring this discussion to you and get to know Fred that much better.

"SYSTEMS OVERLOADED, FEAR ENVELOPS ME" You know his tone, you know his music, now get to know the man behind all of that in the form of Aaron Melnick. He played guitar for Integrity during their formative years, started In Cold Blood and has just dropped a mind-blowing solo record entitled Nuclae. He's a very thoughtful and soft spoken guy so we peel back some of the layers and get to know his love for sci-fi, some early Integrity stories and the process of writing a solo record. Cleveland hardcore fans take notice.

"CAN WE RETURN, TO THE GOLDEN AGE?" One of my favorite bands from a specific era of time called the 2000's, we have Chris McLane from Stretch Arm Strong on the pod this week! I dig in deep to the bands unconventional location (South Carolina), their relationship with Uprising Records (who is also responsible for the Chicago hardcore band, Fall Out Boy) and how they burned themselves out by touring so relentlessly. The icing on this pod-cake as it were is the fact they just released their brand new EP on Iodine Recordings that smokes. Listen to the pod, then listen to the EP and enjoy!

I love when friends do cool stuff. I love when friends are talented. This episode is a one two punch of exactly that. Nathaniel Shannon is a NYC based photographer and you have seen his work...well, everywhere but I specifically had him on the show to discuss a real labor of love and now, it's here...the First Ten Years of St. Vitus. For the uninitiated, St. Vitus is the incredibly important Brooklyn, NY venue responsible for a TON of gigs that you wish you were at. We discuss that book, as well as his upbringing in Detroit as well as an incredibly entertaining Earth Crisis photo shoot we worked together on. Dig in and enjoy!

We have a bonafide LIFER on the podcast today in the form of Steven McDonald who is currently playing with The Melvins and is also a founding member of punk legends Redd Kross. On top of that he also has done a lot of production work with bands including Fun/The Format which I punish him about in this chat. We also discuss growing up in Hawthorne, CA (home of The Beach Boys!) and his time growing up in the 80's punk scene. Pull up a chair and let's hang out!

I love when I can bring two worlds that seemingly don't connect with one another and for this episode, it's comedy and hardcore. The man to do that with us is Neil Rubenstein who is a stand-up comedian and also the vocalist for the late 90's Jewish hardcore band, Sons of Abraham. We discuss the connection between DIY hardcore and comedy, bringing his friends from the music world into comedy as well as Long Island hardcore. It's a great discussion and you must check out his new stand up special released by our friends at Equal Vision Records.

"Its a decade of putting an X on my name" Tyler Short from Inclination is on the show this week and boy, what a fun discussion. I am obsessed with his band and love that I get to punish him to be on the podcast and then in turn, be my friend. He also runs a great record label based out of his home in Louisville, KY called Life Death Brigade as well as a NEW BAND called Walk Proud. We discuss being a luddite, being in the working class and his love for country music (that has manifested in a podcast he started with a friend all about it). Dig in and X up for those inclined.

600 episodes. That's over 600 hours of talking about punk, hardcore, metal, emo and everything DIY and while it feels stupid to type this...thank you. I couldn't have picked a more appropriate guest for this episode in the form of Geoff Rickly from Thursday. I have had the pleasure of knowing him for over 20 years (since our bands played together in Long Island, shout out Backyard Blues) and never bugged him to come on...until now. Geoff and I speak about the "War All the Time" era of the band, his debut novel (out now on Rose Books, it's incredible) and being a fan. He truly gives you his full attention and I'm glad to bring this discussion to you. Here's to 600 more as I feel in many ways I am just getting started.

Absolutely thrilled to welcome John Coyle from Outspoken this week. Outspoken just recently played an incredible show at Programme recently and on the eve of that performance, John came over to my place and we chopped it up big time. We discuss the importance of Uniform Choice, ego and an insane story of John working at a hotel and witnessing something traumatic that inspired him to write the lyrics to one of Outspoken's beloved songs.

Boy oh boy I am happy to bring you this conversation, not even a torrential downpour here in Southern California could prevent it. Thrilled to have Aaron Bruno from AWOLNation, Insurgence and his newest project, The Barbarians of California on the show. We chat about his life in the Valley outside of Los Angeles, the craziest places he's heard his music playing and why as a grown adult, he feels compelled to play in a hardcore band now.

In this highly engaging chat, we bring in Maha Shami from No Man who is the lead vocalist from the band. They are on the verge of releasing their new LP on Iodine Recordings called "Glitter and Spit" which is a barn burner. We discuss with Maha her upbringing in Texas, the unconventional ways her family supported the DC scene and her opposition to the occupation of Palestine (which is an important subject not only now, but always).

Codeseven is an absolutely incredible band that everyone should listen to and pay attention to, full stop. They released a new record called "Go Let It In" that knocked my socks off and continues to do so. It only made sense to bring Jeff Jenkins, the vocalist of the band, onto the podcast! We toured together many moons ago and has always been an incredibly thoughtful and introspective dude and this conversation showcases that. We discuss why him and Tom Delonge are right about aliens, self reflection and of course JNCO Jeans. Pull up your brains and dig in.

Excited to welcome on Lexi Reyngoudt, the vocalist for Buffalo hardcore band Spaced! They are about to drop their new LP on Revelation Records later this month so hop on it and pre-save/pre-order now! We chop it up about life in Buffalo, her love for K-Pop fandom and teaching.

Spark of Life is a band that many of you most likely haven't been exposed to, that doesn't mean you shouldn't get to know Steve Jennings, the vocalist of said band. They started in the late 90's, signed a record deal in the 2000's with a Fat Wreck Chords imprint, toured the world with bands like Rise Against and Good Riddance but like all creative pursuits...life got in the way. Steve and his band mate Nicholas stayed friends and after a many year hiatus...are back and working with New Age Records. All that to say, Steve was a great discussion and I think emblematic of many of our experiences with bands/creative pursuits that don't pan out as we intended but take on an important life of their own. Steve and I discuss how amazing Strife is, the bands friendship with Rise Against and a whole lot more.

In these descriptions I try not to trip over hyperbolic language, but I am absolutely thrilled to have Will Killingsworth on the show today not only for his important record work at Dead Air Studios but also his musical output with bands like Orchid, Bucket Full of Teeth, Ampere and many more. He's a true lifer and someone who has focused on all of the principles that make up this DIY community and let it consume them.

You know those record labels that you get obsessed with and start to listen to EVERYTHING that they put out, regardless if you've heard the band or not? Well, Sunday Drive Records is that for me and I had to have on the owner, Jonathan Gonzales, on the show to chat about it. We discuss the slow growth of the label since he started it out of his college dorm room, his design work and running. I urge you to listen to this episode and discover the amazing bands he's put out, while also understanding all that it takes to run a label. Enjoy!

In the immortal words of the Nora song, "Nobody takes pictures of the drummer" but here on the podcast...WE DO! I hunted down Connor McAuliffe who is the drummer for two phenomenal hardcore bands in the shape of North Carolina's Magnitude and he's also been playing with Pennsylvania's finest, One Step Closer. Connor was a great hang and we discussed the importance of 90's hardcore, straight edge and being on the road for 3 months straight.

Swedish hardcore in the house! I am proud to welcome on the man behind the mic of an incredibly overlooked but important Swedish hardcore band, Abhinanda! Jose Saxlund was not only the vocalist for the band, but was responsible for starting the awesome label Desperate Fight Records that was responsible for bringing attention to the scene happening in their tiny town of Umea. Jose and I speak about the bands legacy, the Swedish music industry and how big did that scene get in the 90's (spoiler alert, very big). Pre-order their new vinyl boxset now!

Rejoice at the top of Steak MTN, we have Chris Norris on the podcast today! He's a true multi-hyphenate as an artist, author and illustrator. He played in the band CombatWoundedVeteran from Florida and has a deep history within the punk and hardcore scene down there. He also was a creative director/set decorator for a porn company that we spend some time discussing (because, that's wild). He's extremely sarcastic and self-deprecating so we got along swimmingly well. Check his site, buy his books and consume his art.

His new band, Many Eyes, is about to embark on their first US tour and when given the opportunity to catch up with an old friend...I jumped at the chance.

From the Great White North, it's KEN Mode! Jesse Matthewson is the vocalist/guitarist over these noise mongers and let me be clear...you have to listen to them if you are a fan of all things noisy/ugly. Jesse was a great hang as we got to discuss what it was like winning a JUNO award (Canadian Grammy Award), being a late bloomer band and the importance of noise.

Happy New Year! 2024 is here and we are going BACK to the 90's for this particular episode. Nick Pye played in the legendary screamo/indie rock band Shotmaker from Ottawa, Ontario. The band loomed large in my consciousness ever since I tripped across them in the late 90's and was like "WHO THE HELL IS THIS BAND AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH?" I had to eventually track Nick down, and this is what transpired around the re-release of their discography on the amazing Solid Brass Records. We discuss touring as a 15 year old, 90's hardcore and I forced Nick to think about the bands impact and legacy (in a nice way). Listen and enjoy this trip down memory lane and how incredible Shotmaker was.

What a treat we have for you this week in the form of Matt LaForge from the great Canadian hardcore band, Mil-Spec. They released an incredible LP this year entitled Marathon that knocked my socks off and I had to hunt him down (since the band is notoriously off of social media) and send a carrier pigeon to reach him. Fortunately, it worked and we hopped on a call to chat about all things related to the band including but not limited to the greater Southern Ontario hardcore scene, context and the evolution of the band.

It's been a long time coming but I finally grabbed Adam Lazzara from Taking Back Sunday for the podcast! I am thrilled to have this chat with the long running emo/rock band that I don't care who you are...you have absolutely heard "Cute Without The "E" and is now a mainstay at every "emo-night" ever. Adam hung out with me in his backyard and we discussed how influential Lifetime is, playing in unconventional places and his journey with addiction. It's a great chat and I even hold his feet to the fire about a time our bands played together. Enjoy!

We WILL make the difference! I bring on Steve Larson from the legendary hardcore band Insted on the show today. We discuss them signing to Epitaph Records (!), misconceptions the band encountered out on the road and them having a design aesthetic and being truly one of the earlier "merch bands" in the game.

Live from New England Metal and Hardcore Festival we have two of the up and coming metal-hybrids joining up for a cool split 7" of a conversation! First up, we have Alex Jones (not to be confused with the bad Alex Jones) from Undeath discussing the bands ascent into an international touring machine and then we bring on Ryan Storey, the vocalist from Gates To Hell (around the 41 min mark). Both bands are on fire right now and it's amazing to watch them rise.

There are hardcore scenes that I know we all become interested (or in my case) and obsessed with. The Atlanta hardcore scene always made me perk my head up because of the incredible bands and sense of camaraderie. All of this to say, I was happy to welcome my friend Ezra Morris of The Power & The Glory/Downpour onto the podcast as he came from that specific scene. We spend a lot of time discussing that time, his life working at record labels as well as working in media and where punk/hardcore has taken him. Let's go!

This episode is brought to you by the fine folks at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival that allowed me to have this chat face to face with none other than Joel Birch from The Amity Affliction. The vocalist for the long running Aussie metal core band sat down with me to have a fun yet very honest conversation about his bouts of homelessness, depression and not being a "fan". He's a very soft spoken dude that made for a great chat. Listen and learn!

Celebrating its 30 years of existence, Indecision Records founder and head honcho Dave Mandel finally sits down with me to podcast. I had been bugging him for the last 7 years to turn this into a reality and finally, we did it. He's a pretty private and behind the scenes person, so I am very thankful I could hear about his life in and around music including his photography, his experience with an immigrant family, why the label still means so much to him and a LOT more. A must listen.

So pumped to be sharing this conversation with one of the largest success stories in hardcore and something that I think still surprises him, we welcome Winston McCall from Parkway Drive to the podcast. We recorded this face to face at New England Metal and Hardcore festival and discussed being an "action sports hardcore band", their ability to change their sound over the years and their ability to function as humans after 20+ years of being in a band (I will give you a hint. It's therapy). Happy to share this discussion with you all!

We have the pleasure of hanging out with the absolute shredder, Gina Gleason from Baroness today. She has such an interesting journey in music as she cut her teeth in the local Philly scene but then played for years with Cirque Du Soleli in Las Vegas playing over 200 shows a year!

The one, the only, Eugene Robinson is on the podcast today. For the uninitiated Eugene is the vocalist for long running artistic post-punk/metal/whatever band Oxbow as well as an author of many books including his upcoming memoir entitled A Walk Across Dirty Water. He's a really outspoken dude and has a long history within punk/hardcore so we peeled back the layers and got into why enjoys writing, sex clubs and how cool it is that he is on the back of the SSD record cover.

HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY TO THE PODCAST! It's wild to say, but this show has been around for 11 years and has changed my life but most importantly, I thank you the listener for caring about DIY culture, punk/hardcore/metal and everything in between...as long as it comes from small/sweaty rooms. Today is a special one because I get to chat with Nick Hexum from the legendary 311. While it may seem like this mainstream band has very little to do with our "scene" so to speak...their origins are rooted within punk. Their very first show was with Fugazi for heavens sake! Nick and I get deep with their DIY origins and the Omaha scene. Enjoy!

I am absolutely thrilled to welcome an incredibly thoughtful human and prolific musician, Dan Yemin. He's played in Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, Paint It Black and his most recent project, Open City is about to drop their new LP on Get Better Records..needless to say, he's been in all of our collective ears for many years. Pull up a digital chair and listen to Dan and I talk about his academic life, intentions and his desire to never make a "living" off of music. So thankful for his time and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Top of the morning to ya! Pardon the horrible cliche but we have an Irish punk veteran on the show this week in the form of Cormy from Geld. While he's since moved to Australia and plays in the band (who just released a ripper on Relapse Records) he has his roots in Ireland and we discuss all things his band, building your own scene and a deep conversation about identity. After you've listened to this chat dive into Geld and thank me later.

My heart is in...well, you get it if you existed anywhere in the mid 2000's emo scene as Hawthorne Heights was INESCAPABLE during that time. I have the pleasure of hanging out with JT Woodruff from the band who plays guitar and is the lead singer. We have a very open and honest conversation about being corny adjacent (or sometimes, right on top of corny), playing late night shows and the legacy of the band as they enter their 20th year of playing together. JT is straight edge, loves hardcore and is such a nice dude so I was happy to get to know him a lot better during this and hope you do as well. Check out their Is For Lovers Festival as they wrap up with a few last dates this summer and plan on bringing it back next year!

Elated to share this conversation with Christina Ward who is the Vice President of Feral House Publishing and an author. They are one of the most prolific indie publishers around hitting subcultures all across the spectrum from black metal, satanism, psychedelics and so much more. I picked up the book Lords of Chaos many years ago and have since followed their publishing journey. We go in deep about the publishing world, her own experience writing (her new book, Holy Food, all about cults, communes and their influence on food is out now) and how music is at the heart of it all.

Oh boy, this one has been on my "list" for awhile and glad we were able to make this happen. I have Wes Eisold from American Nightmare and Cold Cave chatting with us today. The introspective Wes and I dive into his experience growing up with a father in the Navy, staying connected/present and fending for yourself. Cold Cave is on tour in September and October, so make sure you check out their site for more info. American Nightmare also just released a new EP that you need to listen to as well.

We got a lot of Cleveland hardcore talk this week with none other than Eric Egan from Heart Attack Man! Eric is a funny man on the internet and truthfully, that's where I discovered the band but once I did, I was happy. Eric and I dig into his Cleveland upbringing, following creative impulses and online humor in general. I sometimes use this podcast to make friends and Eric and I became that after this discussion.
