Be sure to check out the band’s YouTube channel for more behind the scenes fun.

This is a good one for musicians, but you don’t have to be one to appreciate their thoughts on writing efficiency, tunings, and beefy guitars.

Catch them 1/3/19 at the Crown and 1/19/19 at Chapala Blue Beetle Rock Bar.

Tune in to this talk about the making of the record, including how Haley got inspired by all the studio magic to write background vocal lines and the story of that time Jes was working on some tracks at home when got stuck in a room and they had to stab the door to free him to get to the studio.

We talk about car trouble on tour and the marriage of the cerebral and the emotional as we discuss their new album, Mr. Big Picture. Be sure to check out their brand new video from the title track over on Open Ears Music!

The track you hear at the top of the show is the Mr. Big Picture.

Stars and the Sea come on to talk about their 13(!) releases. The latest is Goth Punk, which is neither goth nor punk, but it is great. The band has some great practical advice about why you don’t have to wait for an album-length release and why you might want to try turning your amp toward the wall.

Be sure to catch them at one of their April shows!

Hope to see you there!

We talk about how they select pieces, the mission of the collective and future hopes for starting a contemporary music festival.

This is a lively one in which we run through all kinds of topics from their latest record, Unsung Monsters, recording, losing a bandmate to immigration law and podcasts about the film Titanic. Let’s get wild.

June Star’s latest will be out in April. I got a sneak peak and its great!

Also check out his podcast Why Aren’t You Famous.

We talk about exploring new territory on the new record In Space, booking their first tour and letting go of day jobs on this one.

We cover tour tips, safer scenes and you’ll even get a sneak peak at their new album due out in spring. Tom Petty? I’ve said too much.

Andy Livingston of the noise outfit Mold Omen talks about Some Like it Fraught, his insane recording schedule, unusual solo album release strategy and the importance of trust in your bandmates.

It’s about making weird music for weird people!

NOTE: I mistakenly say that they’ll play MT6 fest Nov. 18 at the Windup Space, but they won’t be there this year. SO SORRY. (Future guests Hometown Girl WILL be there to destroy your face with loud guitar.)

I saw the reunited Goons playing a show with the legendary Dead Boys and it was the first time I’d seen a pit in ages! Keep the scene alive!

Stay tuned for tour stories and more.

We contemplate how one releases an album in this Year of our Lord 2017 and how being in a band changes as you age. Jason shares a great story about tricking his classmates into thinking he was in the Beach Boys.

If you like what you hear, catch the fellas at MT6 fest at Windup on November 18, 2017.

We cover his transition from band to a solo act, supporting a tour and meeting the Pixies. He tells an amazing story about playing a show the day his wife gave birth (don’t worry, friends, he made it back in time.)

We also learn that the rose ice cream from my local Halal market kinda tastes like soap.

Learn how his reporting informs his songs, including “The Guns of Baltimore,” which traces the flow of drugs and guns in Baltimore City and the county.

We also talk about the promising nonprofit BINJ, an org that hopes to soon fund reporting projects including a drug beat, a gun beat, and pieces by friend of the show Eze Jackson. Fund raiser site here.

In the spirit of the Sharks — who play it fast and loose in genres, band members and emotional content — we’ll cover a lot of different ground in this one. BUCKLE UP!

I fan girl out about the record, the bass tone, how the guitars work together and drum sounds. The band says such nice things to Andrea about her drumming that they almost cry.

Sarah reminds us of the healing power of music. Bonus: learn about Joan’s practice space renovations and Christian’s Eagles cover band!

The noisy indie rockers (post-punkers might be better? Writing about music is hard …) talk about how they get their distinct sound. There’s no bass, but it feels like there’s a bass! Witchcraft.

There are several big ideas in the podcast, so if you can draw a moose, get in touch.

Come out to their Oct. 13 show at Windup Space!

Mat Leffler-Schulman from Mobtown Studios will be packing up the fam and heading to Spain for a year!

What are his favorite Mobtown memories? What does the future hold? Take a listen and find out.

We talked a lot about what it means to be in a band when you’re no longer a teenager and have kids and a real job. Keeve shares a lovely story of seeing his son play at Ottobar and showing the youngster a poster of Keeve’s old band hanging in the club.

John talks about what it was like playing in a band for the first time at 48, and how it quickly became an important outlet.

Lushfarm stand the test of time and are gearing up to celebrate that milestone with an anniversary show and record release Sept. 16 at the Crown.

We discuss that new album Thoughts and Prayers, the band’s humble roots at Don Pablo’s and Binney’s run-ins with the likes of Jimmi Haha and the Good Charlotte guys.

BONUS CONTENT!!! Pat Benatar answers the question I pose to all guests: What advice would you give a younger artist or yourself when you were younger? Check out the Frederick News-Post’s 72 Hours for more on that interview.

Eze Jackson, the group’s emcee, talks about putting his solo act on hold in order to play with the band, being raised to be an activist and his work reporting with the Real News Network.

We get a little heavy, talking about facing racism while touring Boston and Eze’s journey out of homophobia to become a leader of the marriage equality movement in Maryland. But we also talk staying positive, no matter what.

The band go over keeping sounds fresh, how adding new members changed the dynamic of the project and the members share a few tour stories involving nocturnal fisticuffs.

The dark groove rockers join Corridor Cast to talk about their upcoming record, going from an instrumental to a vocal band and how Dave can read Josh’s mind.

Keep an eye out for the new album by following them on Facebook or, most importantly, saying hi to them at shows!

Turnt (Ducky Dynamo and Shawn Smallwood) come over for a visit! This one features Walt Ochab, who was in the Shipyard with Shawn. Tune in for his Power Rangers review.
