This episode is presented by No Sleep Records. On a bit of a departure from your "typical" guest on the show, Steve Rennie is the manager of major rock band Incubus as well as the curator/instructor of his own music industry course called Renman Music. He invited me over to his house and we discussed the music business in general, motivation and (to my excitement) golf. For anyone interested in the music industry, this is required listening.

One afternoon Alex and I got together and chatted about his time in Basement and the formation of the band, how he tries to capture a "feeling" with his music video work and how religion plays a central part in his life.

This show was a total mind blower for me as I got to speak to one of the more influential people within the mid-90's hardcore scene, Sam McPheeters. He fronted the highly polarizing band Born Against (as well as Men's Recovery Project) and later sang in Wrangler Brutes. He is also a highly prolific freelance writer and amazing author. Our conversation hit on perspective, anger and the writing process.
