"I'm about to play this $25 guitar on this really bad amp and i'm gonna scream and you can't stop me."

Danna informs Funeral Proposals that their "Beach Song" music video won a major award a while back, and we decide that if you have strong opinions or a lot to say, either go into music, podcasting, or get a trombone.

With a couple more shows and a single or two still to come this year, keep it lock...

Fresh off performing for thousands at the Southeast Asian Festival last month, What’s His Face stops by to talk about his journey from California to Cleveland and how hip hop, food, and breakdancing shaped his sound and his story.

We also debut a game made just for him, Green Flag, inspired by his latest song. Stream his music, give him a follow, and be on the lookout for one last single dropping before the upcoming album!

This was a rare setup: just JLaird from LoCLE Grown and Bre-J from Land of Panda holding it down, and a time was HAD! Bre shares some wild stories (it really is Always Something, amiright?) and talks about what’s next for the band with an album on the way early next year.

Catch his solo performance of Land of Panda's latest singles, and keep an ear out for “Rita” and “Memories,” dropping soon ahead of the new album. Thanks agai...

"Hoop with no net? I'm not playin' here." 

We literally could not stop laughing with Recess in this episode and literally had to play ourselves off at the end (midwestern goodbye, but make it a podcast).

Recess has inspiring stories and heartfelt music that both captivates and makes you FEEL things. Their next single, 'Petal', will be releasing soon, but you can catch it first with us at the end of this ...

We highly recommend checking this one out on YouTube because Da Land Brass Band absolutely lit up AJ Rocco’s during this live recording. They’ve got the spirit of a brass band mixed with a gritty Cleveland sound, and they’re out here asking, the real question: Can you dig it?

DLBB is pushing boundaries with their latest EP Unnatural History (stream it everywhere now) and experimenting with new sounds. You’ll hear two of them in this...

We made some core memories with Youngstown's own Ohayo during this episode. Also, filing a formal complaint with Rock & Roll City Studios for not selling fresh focaccia bread here.

Today, we linked up with Girl Cologne to discuss what being a young, queer, punk rock band is like in the Cleveland scene and beyond, and, much more importantly, got to the bottom of what Girl Cologne would smell like.

Follow Girl Cologne if you know what's good for ya, and check out their latest song, a killer cover of Nirvana's "Blew" that has gained tons of attention recently!

Lil Bird landed at LG Studios (here at Rock and Roll City Studios) to talk about her spontaneous move to Cleveland, working with local legends, and her experience working at MGK's coffee shop, 27 Club. (Not heard: About 15 minutes of just talking about birds, you can thank us later.)

Thank you, LB, for sharing your stories and having such a calming presence that translated so perfectly into your episode performance!

Back when we were still a radio show, we interviewed Justin about his solo project, Evergreen Hotel. Now, he’s back—this time as part of Sea of Ghosts, a powerhouse trio with two other insanely talented musicians. Their wide range of influences might be the most eclectic we've ever seen, and we were stoked to feature them on today’s episode.

Retro Pharaoh steps into the studio and stays stepping the entire time, woah woah. This one had us wheezing, but also almost crying?? No shame, not questioning it, just hoping one day we can step as hard as the StepFather himself.
