100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

I know it may seem like I said this a lot, but this episode is a huge one for me. Brian McTernan is the vocalist from Battery, guitarist from Ashes and more recently, Be Well and his art has definitely impacted me in a deep way. He's also an incredibly prolific producer as well helping bands like Texas Is The Reason, Bane, Thrice and many more create some of their most important records. We go LONG with so many things like depression, touring Europe and being the "it" producer and the pressure that comes with it. This conversation went so incredibly well and I am proud to share it with you. Listen and enjoy!

Gleemer is a band you HAVE to hear. I fell in love with them when they released "Anymore" and even more so with "Down Through." I had to have Corey Coffman from the band on the podcast to pick his brain and find out more about life in Colorado, recording bands and the process of making music. It's metaphysical, it's fun and above all...a great new band you need to check out. Thanks for listening!

It's a big one today with the vocalist from Good Riddance, Russ Rankin! Good Riddance has always loomed large within the punk and hardcore community, so it was a pleasure to have Russ on to discuss the idea of "being too punk to be hardcore," the music business and of course, animal rights. It's a wide ranging chat and we of course mention hockey as well. Thanks for listening!Visit Rockabilia and use the code PC100WORDS for 15% off of your order.
