Behind the Vinyl#174 - Erik Kase RomeroFor a majority of his music career, Erik Kase Romero has been behind the scenes. Romero has developed into a prominent music producer – most notably working with the Front Bottoms (also plays instrumentals in the live experience), Lorde, and the Bouncing Souls. Romero has developed a name for himself in the industry and his musical genius is something that musicians desire. A quick peek at his website takes the viewer into a magical journey that involves a large list of production. It’s a list that would be considered a “dream” for anyone just breaking into the business. Romero is now a...2024-01-111h 46
Behind the Vinyl#173 - Paint it Black (Andy Nelson)When you sit back and think about some of the centerpieces of hardcore punk in the early 2000's, Paint it Black will instantly come to mind. Especially in the Philadelphia area. Philadelphia has a long history of great bands that paved the way for what music music is today. Paint it Black fits that category. One of the most exciting news of this year is when Paint it Black decided to release "Famine." It was the band's first full-length record since 2008 and it did not miss. The biggest praise I can say about this group is that they have...2023-12-261h 09
Behind the Vinyl#108 - Grady Allen (Anxious)Grady and the rest of Anxious just needed a chance. That's what they got when Pat Flynn from Fiddlehead came into the picture. After they put out a demo in 2017, a friend of theirs sent the demo to Pat. They had never met Pat and he never met them either. But, a few days later Pat decided to make a major post about how great Anxious is. Grady says his jaw dropped to the ground when he saw that. Soon after they were asked to do a few shows with Fiddlehead. Pat has always been in their corner and...2022-03-0349 min
Behind the Vinyl#107 - Conor Cook (VHS Collection)A night drive can be anything you want it to be, from a moment of silent reflection to a loud night out with great music and better friends. And just like the title of the band's new album, the appeal of VHS Collection is universal: however you receive their music, you're doing it right. One discussion with guitarist Conor Cook reveals an immediate passion for music - the same drive shared by all three members, and the driving force behind the band's continuous success. We recommend listening to the new Night Drive in the car after dark for the...2022-02-2838 min
Behind the Vinyl#106 - Modern Color (Vince & Chad)For Vince, music is everything. He will admit that he was timid in social settings and at times, outright uncomfortable. But, that changed when he found music. He was able to express himself in a new form and it eventually built confidence. The same goes for Chad, it's a way to express himself. Like all humans, their feelings change daily, which can be a constant grind while playing shows and trying to find time to write music. But, they both agree that it's all about finding new ways to channel those emotions, because at the end of the day music...2022-02-081h 02
Behind the Vinyl#105 - Greet Death (Sam & Logan)For Sam and Logan, they are the "Mario Brothers" when it comes to Greet Death. They always have their eyes fixated on the next goal or step in the process. Some would call them hard workers, but for the two best friends, even brothers at this point, it helps them not get caught up in the stress and depression that comes from life. The band is always working on new music, and while on the road they like to line up shows so that they don't have a night off. It's so that they can debrief real quick and...2022-01-3158 min
Behind the Vinyl#104 - Brian Swindle (Have Mercy)Have Mercy made a massive announcement at the beginning of the year that shook the music world. They finally released their secrect about coming back after a two year hiatus and their plans on putting out an EP at some point in the future. For Brian Swindle, this was news that he knew would eventually happen, even when the band didn't have discussions about regrouping to write new music. For Brian, the band will always be included in his life in some capacity. The writing and recording process originally started as trial and error when they came...2022-01-251h 08
Behind the Vinyl#103 - Luke Bentham (The Dirty Nil)When Luke Bentham of The Dirty Nil thinks about lyrics that might sum up his mindset while writing the album, "Fuck Art," he thinks back to the song "One More and the Bill." There is a lyric in the song that reads: "Gonna smash my TV, and smash my phone. Leave politics alone. Go outside for a while." That lyric is where his mind instantly wanders. It's because our society often gets so caught up in technology that we forget to appreciate some of the little things that are happening around us. Our phones and s...2022-01-171h 00
Behind the Vinyl#102 - Drew Thomson (Single Mothers)Single Mothers has been a band that I have admired. There is a mysterious feeling behind them. The social media page is on private and the website says that they broke up in 2009, yet still play shows. But, something that you can't deny is that their music rocks. I had the opportunity to chat with Drew Thomson about everything surrounding the band and much more. Single Mothers started when one door in Thomson's life closed. He was a real estate agent and worked under a boss who drank often. He eventually grew tired of some of the a...2022-01-111h 20
Behind the Vinyl#101 - Quinn ChristophersonWe had Quinn Christopherson on for this episode. Christopherson got his big chance in music when he won NPR's Tiny Desk contest. The victory was validation that what Christopherson was doing as a musician was enough. It was the first time he ever felt that. He ended up quitting his job to go on tour and has been in music ever since. Christopherson is from Anchorage, Alaska, which may not seem like an environment where a ton of musicians come from, but Christopherson disagrees, saying that not only are there strong connections in the community, but there is...2022-01-0435 min
Behind the Vinyl#100 - Palomino Blond (Carli, Kyle & Michael)It's the 100th episode for the podcast. For this interview we sat down with Carli, Kyle, and Michael of Palomino Blond out of Miami, Fl. The band exploded at The Fest this year in Gainesville. They caught the attention of countless people who made the trip, especially at the pre-fest show. It was their first opportunity to play a big venue since everything opened up again and they took full advantage of it. They are back on track with their old routes. The band feels like they have made valuable friendships and connections from gigging often. They want to...2021-12-221h 08
Behind the Vinyl#99 - Scott Downes (Bliss Fields)Welcome to the world of Bliss Fields. A band that Scott Downes started with his former partner and originally named Iris back in 2013. He was on a mission to play shoegaze music because unlike so many other genres, the instrumentals can show emotion -- not only the lyrics. But, like so many bands, Scott experienced a change in the lineup recently. In fact, it was a completely new lineup. That is when the idea to change the band's name to Bliss Fields started flowing through his head. Scott says that it felt like a jumping off point instead of...2021-12-1559 min
Behind the Vinyl#98 - Ross Farrar (Spice & Ceremony)Ross Farrar is a punk through-and-through. He grew up in California and listened to some of the legends that came from his home state such as Black Flag and The Circle Jerks. It eventually led to Ross joining a band of his own who became instant hits in the punk scene. His band, Ceremony became known for their wild and physical shows, which put them on notice. Ross is currently in a few projects now. One of his main focuses, SPICE, released their debut sell-titled debut album last year. It brought an alternative sound, which was outside of the...2021-12-1040 min
Behind the Vinyl#97 - Ashley StrongarmEverything is like pancakes. At least that's what Ashley Strongarm says about her music career. Pancakes can be a tricky art. Sometimes the first few don't come out the best, but once you finally make the perfect pancake, you know that you have the recipe for success. That was similar to when Ashley first started singing. It was trial and error trying to find her voice. She still listens back to some of her first videos singing and thinks about how far she has come during this musical journey. Strongarm just released a new single called, "From You," which...2021-12-0353 min
Behind the Vinyl#96 - Afloat (Gabby & Josh)You'll Afloat too! We had on Gabby & Josh of the band Afloat to talk about their new song. "Fake Nice," and some of the other happenings surrounding the band. "Fake Nice" is considered the new anthem for the band. "Fake Nice" was written about exactly what it means: people being fake nice. Sometimes people are flat out fake to others so that they can benefit from that individual. In the word of Gabby, "You don't want to let someone get the best of you, but at the same time you want your opinion to be heard." The song is...2021-11-3052 min
Behind the Vinyl#95 - Tim Browne (Elway)Another kick ass interview in the books! If you listen or follow punk music, like many of you do, you have definitely seen Elway pop up on a bill or a playlist. They are always playing at stacked shows. The band is fresh off their 11th trip to The Fest and they also opened for The Menzingers in the beginning of October. Some cool shows have recently been announced such as the War on X-Mas with The Lawrence Arms and kicking off 2022 by playing with Hot Water Music. Although we don't get too in-depth about band names...2021-11-1856 min
Behind the Vinyl#94 - Jake Ewald (Slaughter Beach, Dog)Today, we present to you an interview with Jake Ewald of Slaughter Beach, Dog. It was a conversation that had a ton of laughs, some tears, and went down memory lane of an established musician who has accomplished the world with his music career. For Jake, the journey began with the well-known group, Modern Baseball, who started off as a project that most of them did while attending college. What was something that was supposed to be something they would do on the weekends or when they had some downtime, turned into a band that toured non-stop. Jake still...2021-11-111h 03
Behind the Vinyl#93 - Derek Zanetti (The Homeless Gospel Choir "I grew up in a pretty conservative Christian family as a kid and we weren't really permitted to go listen to the radio or listen to music of our own... Of course you don't know that The Clash is the best punk band ever because all you ever get to listen to is the Christian version of The Clash and it f*cking absolutely sucks." I present to you an interview with Pittsburgh's own, Derek Zanetti, of The Homeless Gospel Choir. Derek grew up in a church-going family and was often told not to listen to punk and other rock...2021-11-0855 min

Behind the Vinyl#91 - Eamon Sandwith (The Chats)We had Eamon Sandwith of The Chats on for our most recent interview. We began the conversation with Eamon talking about touring and adjusting to playing in other countries. Not only does a traveling band have to get used to other time zones but also have to become familiar with different music scenes. We chatted about his upbringing and how punk stuck out to him at an early age even though it wasn’t as popular in his area. When the band started in high school, one of the first songs was considered a “throwaway song for a school expe...2021-10-1553 min

Behind the Vinyl#89 - Tyler Poland (Save Face)Tyler Povanda of Save Face joined the pod for this loaded interview. We covered a lot of ground during it. Tyler says during the interview that he isn't much of a talker in between songs usually, but when I saw Save Face back in July, he said some quotes that caught my attention. The biggest was about almost not wanting to continue before making the songs on this album. Tyler sometimes thinks about what is required from a musician to make it full-time and keep it sustainable. He is aware of the discouragement that can come when making art. P...2021-10-0955 min

Behind the Vinyl#86 - Colleen DowWhen I found out that Colleen Dow was working on a solo project, I knew instantly that it would be a huge success. The amount of time and care that Colleen puts into all of their songs just tells the story. Colleen is one of the most passionate musicians out there. This solo project is no different. Abe Anderson (Niiice/Thank You, I'm Sorry) joined forces with Colleen to create this emo-pop masterpiece. There will be five songs coming our way and will come out in six week increments. Colleen knew that they wanted to do something different from...2021-09-3056 min

Now, two years later, after receiving the support of Billy, and other members of the Bay Area, the album is getting some buzz. Kevin also talks...2021-09-091h 26

Behind the Vinyl#52 - Deanna FayeI had singer/songwriter Deanna Faye on for this one. Deanna has been working really hard over this past year. In January she put out an EP labeled “Good to You.” The songs on the EP show Deanna’s classic rock routes — they have a real 60s or 70s feel to them. Deanna also stays active by consistently uploading videos to YouTube and social media. There is a large variety of content from “how to” videos all the way up to her own music. This was a deep conversation. Deanna talks about some of the trials she went through before getti...2021-04-1647 min
Behind the Vinyl#51 - Will & Max (Dosser)I had Will & Max of the band Dosser (Baltimore, MD) on for this one. Their EP labeled "Brainscan" came out at the beginning of the year. Brainscan takes its name from a 90's sci-fi/horror movie starring Edward Furlong. The movie shows a young teenager transition from being someone who is constantly playing video games to a serial killer. One of the big subjects Dosser wrote about on this EP and for future songs is not truly knowing what someone is going through on the inside. It's easy to portray a happy life through social media, but for some...2021-04-1343 min

I knew it would make for a great interview, and it sure did. We talked about Florida bands that paved the way for Winded and some of the early shows the band had. Thrin says they all got to know...2021-04-0948 min
Behind the Vinyl#49 - Bridget & Haley (OK Cool)Bridget & Haley of OK Cool joined me this week to talk about their new EP labeled Surrealist, which came out on March 26 and is now streaming everywhere!

The name is true, Bridget and Haley are in fact cool. Check them out! 2021-04-0553 min
Behind the Vinyl#48 - Evan StanleyEvan Stanley is on a motivated path towards making a name for himself in the music industry. He wants every song to be better than the last.

Evan says that everyone in the group was pumped up to take home the top prize, but they were missing the big picture. He didn't just want to be the best band in high school, he wanted to have his name up there...2021-04-0253 min
Behind the Vinyl#47 - Nicola Leel (Doe)Several years back I had a buddy of mine send me the band Doe and told me this is my kind of music.

Fast forward to 2021, and I had the chance to chat with Nicola.

Behind the Vinyl2020: It's the end of the year as we know itWhat better way to wrap up this inherently crazy year than to virtually get together with 3 music-binging buddies and dissect our top 10 albums of the year? This episode features a panel style conversation involving previous guest/musician Warren Franklin, Josh Robbins (host of Spinning Out Podcast/plays in Late Bloomer), and Mike Donnelly of Twin Peaks Sessions. While there were a few similarities between the 4 of our lists, I can promise you this episode will grant you a tremendous amount of musical discovery.

I have been a huge Cayetana fan for years, and I am really enjoying the direction Gladie is heading in. Augusta has a fascinating story. She grew up in the Poconos where she always attended live shows. One thing she did note is that she was always one of two women at the local gigs. At times she didn't feel accepted by the people she went to shows with. Her taste in music and opinion about certain bands...2020-11-301h 09
