100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

I am so stoked to bring you this discussion with Tomas Lijedahl from Norna and Breach. If you are a fan of anything heavy that resembles Isis, Neurosis and the like, you absolutely have to listen to Tomas' new band, Norna as well as his previous band called Breach. We talk in depth about the Swedish hardcore scene, skate punk and disfunction. He's an open book and I was thankful to be able to have this chat. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If Patrick and his band don't bring you a smile, I don't know what to do to help you but I have faith in you. I brought Patrick on the show to discuss his south OC upbringing, ska zines and how Limbeck sat squarely at the intersection of being "too punk for country and too country for punk". He also tells us of some wild advertising stories that he and his friends participated in.

Boy oh boy do I love Dying Wish and in turn, I had to have Emma Boster the vocalist of said band on the pod ASAP. We accomplished that and discussed how sick Portland is, the art of booking shows and how important MySpace-core was for music tastes of the early 2000's. Emma was a great hang and enjoy our discussion! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Post rock. Relapse. NASCAR? All of these things are covered in today's pod with the dude, Bobby Markos from Cloakroom. I love this band's blend of Hum, meets stoner rock meets Isis. It's got it all and I was happy to pick Bobby's brain on their origins, how sick his old band Native was and he explains to me the allure of NASCAR for him and his work with the legendary race car driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Anxious just put out one of my favorite LP's of this year. I know the year JUST started but you have to listen to "Little Green House" immediately. To celebrate I had my new friend Grady Allen, the vocalist of the band, on this week. He had a cold when we spoke, so pardon any stuffiness he had. We get into Connecticut hardcore, growing up musically in public and being active in the scene. Have fun!
