Vinyl and Vision

Here's a Vinyl & Vision first! We made a two parter. The scope of this conversation is legitimately so in depth, I didn't want to cut any of it. Nick is an incredibly sweet and smart guy. Profoundly verbose, which is why this is so long, but littered with so much great insight into the making of the studio album, his personal life and his new release of the YWGWYW demos album. Which you can pick up here!https://clubhell.bigcart...

Do you know Rainer Fronz? In some way you probably do, but it's the plight of the person behind the curtain that few people ever seem to see or notice the efforts of a guy like Rainer. As it is for most record label owners. Fans notice the artists and albums a label puts out more than the guy that's making it happen. Sometimes that's just the way they want it to be. And it's my opinion that only after having had this short conversa...

What can be said about Bob Bert that hasn't already been said? The dude is legendary! So I jumped at the opportunity to speak with him, being an artist and musician who, by design or not, has gone on to influence a wide group of people himself. So to be able to pick his mind, even a little, about the perspective of influence of music on a creative person and ultimately discussing an album that was incredibly important to his own de...

This is a deep discus...

Very excited to have Lynn Standafer a.k.a. Enduser join me today to discuss an album that he considers to be a very influential album to him. And if you know Enduser’s work, that probably comes as no surprise. Now the question is, what do you know about Mike Bell a.k.a. Hive and his 1998 album Devious Methods. Well, probably not much. And I’m sure not for lack of trying. So in more exciting news about this episode, I ac...

Today's special guest is Nikii Post! She is the singer and guitarist for In Lieu, from Minneapolis, who are releasing a new album on Learning Curve Records. Hooligan will be released on Oct. 24th and it is a beautifully heavy record. Nikii's vocals certainly take a center stage with her incredibly powerful raw screaming style. Just this week the band has released their second single off the album with a music video which shows them...

Mark Shippy is here to discuss US Maple's stunning debut album, Long Hair in Three Stages. Partially because it seemed to difficult to sum up what could have been one influential album that helped shape or inform the work that US Maple was making. But in just discussing that topic a little it becomes very evident that typical classic rock had a big hand in that, but what may have been even more crucial was a lot of soundtrack music...

What a great band Venus Twins are! If you're not familiar, they're certainly noisy but as I learn in this episode, they've had some musical training, and that shows through in a jazzy, proggy way. Kinda like this album we discuss, The Mars Volta's Deloused in the Comatorium. To be honest, this time I only touch on the album in a surface manner to be able to focus more attention to the impact this album had on these guys and more ab...

It 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 unrelea...

I 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:

I'm not trying to support Amazon, I just can't find the publisher's direct website.

In a nutshell, Vashti became disheartened...

Here'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...

On 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 cle...

Oh 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...

After 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:

For those of you who may know Seb from the bands he's been in, the idea of ...

Here 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...

Here 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 t...

Here 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:

Allan and Barb Vest, from Oklahoma City, OK, make up the band, doubleVee. A wonderful couple with incredible amount of talent. Their latest full length album, Treat Her Strangely, drops July 15th. It continues where they left off on their last release, 2019's Songs for Birds and Bats EP, with hard driven power pop hooks, meticulously arranged orchestration, with a slight gothic twist. Give it a listen and add it to your preferred p...
