100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

Let's get aggressive. Chase Mason is the vocalist for the punishing desert band, Gatecreeper (who just released an absolute BANGER of a record called "An Unexpected Reality") and is a great dude. We discuss him growing up in Arizona, his recovery journey through addiction and his wide ranging taste in music.

A little bit left of center guest but a great one nonetheless is Emily Gullickson who has made her life by exploring her passion of horse racing and betting. I discovered her through a podcast called "Gamblers" where in she tells her story but most interestingly, speaks about her history in punk/hardcore. I reached out to her to find out more and had her come onto the show. We dove deep into a variety of topics like her putting out Spazz records, being a straight edge adult and the ethics behind horse racing. Loved this chat and I know you will too.Listen to The Punk Rock MBA podcast!

Man, do I have a treat for you. This week we have Pete Appleby who played in Count Me Out and Renee Heartfelt, both of them who were incredibly important bands to me (and many others). We dig in with Pete to discuss how both bands may have been a few years too "early", the trials and tribulations with the business side of music and his life as a dentist now.

If you haven't heard of Spanish Love Songs, you my friend...are in for a treat. Their latest LP "Brave Faces Everyone" was one of my favorites of last year and I wanted to bring Dylan (the lead vocalist/guitarist) on the show to discuss their rise in popularity in Europe, comparing the movie/music industry and being a contrarian by nature.

I love Thou. This is a band that took awhile for me to grab onto but once I did (recently mind you) it's taken hold and won't let go. I had to have Bryan, the vocalist, on the show to punish him about my obsession. We dove into his metal core roots, life in Louisiana and the DIY spirit that has permeated his life.

I am honored to have on a great human and thoughtful music critic, author, podcast host and all around wordsmith, Hanif Abdurraqib. I felt compelled to reach out to him after loving his season of the incredible music podcast, Lost Notes, as I knew he had connections to our beautiful DIY punk/hardcore scene. We dive in to his life in Columbus, remembering to be a fan of music (as a critic) and the process of writing. LETS GO!

My friend Tim Riley from Souvenirs is on the podcast this week on the heels of the release of their newest LP called "Love For the Lack Of It", released by Other People Records. We roll up our sleeves and get into being welcoming, balancing creativity with "real life" and his battle with rheumatoid arthritis. It's quite a journey, so enjoy!

I love the feeling of discovering new music, even when a band isn't technically "new" and Svalbard, did just that for me this year. I had to have Serena on the show, so we made it happen. Their new LP "When I Die, Will I Get Better" blew me away so Serena and I discuss that, the UK press, being an outsider and of course, roller coasters. Dive in and find out more about your new favorite band. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Turning Point. What a legendary band and I had the chance to speak to Jay Laughlin, who played guitar in the band as well as Godspeed (highly overlooked post-Turning Point emo band) and his current band, Honey (a rad metal band). We discuss how he views his musical legacy, how much it cost them to record "It's Always Darkest Before the Dawn" and being creative at all costs. Jay is a lifer and I am sure glad he's put out all of the music he has. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Supporting your local scene is an important thing for ANY type of music, especially DIY punk/hardcore. Andy Franchere is an embodiment of that. He sang for the band Diehard Youth and currently plays in Ill Communication but more importantly, he is instrumental in encouraging his local scene. Andy's story may sound familiar because you most likely know someone like him, which is why I am glad to feature this discussion with him. We discuss his life as a firefighter, growing a scene and knowing your limits. Even though you may not know his bands, Andy's story will ring true to many of you.

As he makes his podcast rounds, Aaron Marshall from Intervals stops by the show to talk about how the heck an instrumental metal band got so popular. We discuss in depth his decision to release his own records and maintain control, slow growth and the idea of turning his passion for music into an actual career. It's a deep dive into the business side of things but also an insightful look at the creative process. Enjoy!

Pop punk is alive and well! Joe Taylor is the lead vocalist for Knuckle Puck and I am glad to have him on the show this week. We discuss having to grow up fast, being practical and doing your best to avoid cliches. He was honest and revealing, which is frankly what I want out of these conversations so...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

I think this may be one of the first "ska" bands I have had on the show, but let's be honest...Less Than Jake is more than that. Chris Demakes is a great dude and this discussion about his band was very revealing. We were able to discuss punk rock guilt, navigating the highs and lows of a long music career and of course, we talk about Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Let's go!

This episode was a fun one for me and VERY self serving as I absolutely love this band called Die My Will. The band is very much a "undiscovered gem" and frankly, they weren't that prolific or long lasting but always stuck in my head. Jeff played drums in the band and we get to nerd out about the band and their place within the metal core world and playing 17 minute sets. Enjoy and hopefully you will find one of your new favorite bands. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I am honored to have Evan Patterson from Jaye Jayle, Young Widows, Breather Resist and so much more on the show today. Him and I go way back but it's been years since we spoke and dove right into it discussing his musical identity, living in Louisville and DIY living at all costs. He's an inspiring musician that continues to push himself with all of his work.

We are lucky to have on Nate Garrett from Spirit Adrift today on the podcast. If you haven't heard their blend of metal heaviness, do yourself a favor and dive right in. Nate is an incredibly interesting dude and we discussed being vulnerable, the Little Rock music scene and his battle with addiction. Immediately after we started talking I felt a kinship with him and I hope you feel the same way. Enjoy!

Let's do this! We have a return guest with Chadwick Johnson from Hundredth, who just released an incredible new LP called "Somewhere Nowhere." We discuss the band as a brand, evolution in a band's sound and keeping everything very DIY. It was a great catch up discussion and enjoy the hang time.

This chat has been a long time in the making as I first fell in love with Pallbearer back in 2012 when they dropped their STAGGERING debut LP, "Sorrow and Extinction" and then followed all of their subsequent releases. I had to bring Joseph on the show because not only do I love the band, but think that more people need to pay attention to what they are doing. Joseph and I speak about his experience being raised in an alternative religion, the Little Rock scene and ambition amongst many other things.
