Let's get to know a criminally underrated band, Since By Man. Their vocalist Sam Macon has been a long time friend of mine and we've played a lot of shows together. He's centered his life around the creative arts (music, film) and I have always been fascinated by his trajectory, so...he gets the podcast interrogation. We discuss touring as an escape mechanism, Milwaukee life and creative conflict.  Visit Iodine Recordings and rediscover your favorite record or find a brand new one!

You know them, you love them...it's Thrice for goodness sake. I had the privilege of hanging out with my long time friend, Teppei Teranishi from the band to discuss a lot of things I was personally curious about like his passion for skateboarding, being an introvert and his life as an only child. He's a very thoughtful guy and this conversation shows that quality in him.

Let's go! Devin Swank from Sanguisugabogg is hanging out with us today on the pod and we get into the damn thing and discuss how the band threads the needle between death metal, hardcore and more. We also get into his time playing football, work ethic and finding a place for humor in metal (but not too much). It's a great discussion to highlight the fact that even when given a "chance" by a record label, the work has only just begun.  Buy Podcast Merch Here Theme Song by Tapestry Gold Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Listen to “More On That”, a supplementary podcast to 100 Words on Spotify exclusively Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).

Drummers never get the love they should, but I am here to RECTIFY that by inviting my friend, Tucker Rule, on the podcast this week.

Let's go SLOOOWWW with Bobby Ferry from the legendary doom/stoner/metal band, 16. I think this band is really interesting as they have watched scenes come and go but kept on doing their thing and are releasing some of the best music of their career. Bobby and I discuss the skateboarding scene in the OC, the impact of Pushead on their band and drug use. It was a very interesting discussion with a person I didn't know at all, and now...we can talk about 90's hardcore as friends.  Buy Podcast Merch Here Theme Song by Tapestry Gold Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).

So happy to welcome Graham Sayle from High Vis on the podcast this week!  His band put out one of my favorite LP's from this year called "Blending" and I had to have him on the show after catching their legendary set at Outbreak Fest, so we hopped on the digital line to chat.
