Unsigned518Unsigned518 Podcast #94, The Sugar HoldAhead of their show with the Nolanauts and Erin Harkes (Cohoes Music Hall, Oct 7th), The Sugar Hold made a stop at the Dazzle Den, to do some catching up. In true Sugar Hold fashion, we had a couple of beers before we got rolling, so this episode will prove to be extra-entertaining. We also learn that The Sugar Hold have their own Tremolo pedal coming out from Poison Noises and have been working on a Halloween special with Jive Hive Live. So much to talk about and the beer fridge is full. Smoke 'em if you got 'em. It's Th...

Unsigned518Unsigned518 Podcast #93, Josh MorrisIf you are even tangentially aware of the 518 music scene, then you know who Josh Morris is. If not, here is your opportunity to get to know him. His first single under his own name, "Ready For Your Love", has gained international accolades and even charted on the BBC!
That is an amazing achievement and if you have heard the song, you'll quickly realize why it has done so well. In this episode, not only do we hear about Josh's lifelong relationship with music, but we also have his second single "When The Night Is Over" to play for you, ah...

Unsigned518Unsigned518 Podcast #92, Reese FulmerIn the last five or so years, Reese Fulmer has built quite an impressive musical resume. His songwriting and delivery are, in my opinion, on par with national acts. His Carriage House Band is composed of some of the absolute top musicians in the area and he keeps that impressive cast rotating. So, while you may not know who will be in the Carriage House Band when you see them, you can be assured they will be of the very best.
Reese not only plays us a track from his live album, but also performs a song live on the ep...

Unsigned518Unsigned518 Podcast #90, Jordan Withers of Poison Noises
This was such a cool episode to record. If you didn't know, Jordan and Poison Noises make guitar pedals and are very well known for the quality and craftsmanship of their products. Not only that, but recently, they have been teaming up with some 518 bands and helping them create their own signature pedals. Not only is Jordan's artistry top-notch, but his integrity is, too. He helps keep things within the grasp of the local bands, which are usually only reserved for the big national acts- although they certainly do make pedals for them as well.

Unsigned518Unsigned518 Podcast #89, Brule County Bad BoysThis episode was recorded just days before BCBB's blistering set at Nipperfest and I got the chance to sit down with Josh and Tex to discuss the history of the Bad Boys and how everything fell into place. It involves a pretty dramatic story with pounds of weed, the police and a not small amount of jail time. There the idea of the Brule County Bad Boys began. In a cell in, you guessed it, Brule county.
But you don't want to hear it from me, so let the boys themselves tell you the story on episode 85 of Unsigned518 with Bru...

Unsigned518Unsigned518 Podcast #88, Ben ZoleskiI became friends with Ben long before this podcast existed and when ShortWave RadioBand was still a semi-acoustic duo playing cover tunes in the corner of local taprooms. Ben and his bandmates in Under The Den (Jay-No, Solo and Madison) were very supportive of us when we added John, Abby and Ryan and decided to make a go at original music. So much so that we call them and two (of the many) other bands that helped us fly in our early days (The Sugar Hold and E.R.I.E) out by name in our soon-to-be-released single "Along The...

Unsigned518Unsigned518 Podcast #87, Man Must ExploreThis is technically the second time Man Must Explore has been on Unsigned518, but the last time they were on, they were a different band. Quite literally. A couple of members of the previous lineup of MME went on to form other local favorites, Flat Wounds. MME added a couple of new members and this lineup was solidified. Ryan and I have crossed paths several times in the last year or so, and he even sang the bridge to the ShortWave RadioBand song 'Dont Care' when we played it at a show last fall and appeared in our music video fo...

Unsigned518Unsigned518 Podcast #86, Tops of TreesMy point is, Tops of Trees are too diverse to be put into one box. It is evident in the well crafted songs that there are many musical influences that go into making their tunes. But it is more difficult as you listen, to pin down those influences because the songs are wholly original. The guys in the band were also a very welcome presence in the Dazzle Den, and I feel like we fairly instantly bonded and became pals. I even invited them to participate in a special show that I have coming up this winter. But, more on t...

Unsigned518Unsigned518 Podcast #85, Nipperfest RetrospectiveIt's just me this week as I talk about just a few of the many highlights of Nipperfest '23. I will keep the talking brief, but will just tell you a little bit about a few of the many highlights for me, and then I will play a song from the artist that the highlight relates to. I play tracks from The Sugar Hold, Angelina Valente, Camtron5000, The E Block and Rhoseway. I'll be back with a guest next week, but in the meantime, enjoy a taste of the music of Nipperfest '23.
Thank you all. Viva la 518!
