								Jamison Isaak from Teen Daze14/04/2021 Duration: 01h12minAs you grow older, your musical taste changes and evolves and I for one, welcome it. You don't have to listen to aggressive music all day, every day. Of course, you don't need me to tell you that but the past few years I have gotten really into dreamy soundscapes and our guest this week creates those in spades. His name is Jamison Isaak and plays under the moniker Teen Daze. I had a sneaking suspicion that he had a connection to punk/hardcore/DIY and boy, was I right. We get in deep with his life in rural Canada, the importance of Much Music, melodic hardcore and so much more. Trust me, you'll enjoy this convo even if you aren't familiar with his music.

								Joe Nelson from Trust Records and Ignite07/04/2021 Duration: 01h07minOh boy, got a great one this week for you with the So Cal hardcore legend (my words, not his) Joe Nelson. He's the original vocalist of Ignite, road dog for bands like Quicksand, Insted and more. He also played in bands like The Killing Flame and is gearing up to release a new LP from another one of his musical projects, Triggerman. He is also responsible for launching Trust Records, which is a great re-issue label that is making sure some seminal records don't go out of print and are widely available for all. We discuss his time on the road with bands, the legacy of OC hardcore and why he chose to start this label. Dive in and enjoy!

								David Farrier, filmmaker/journalist (Dark Tourist, Tickled, Webworm) & Armchair Expert31/03/2021 Duration: 01h10minI love David Farrier. His documentary Tickled was one of the most captivating and bizarre stories I have ever seen put to film and from then I just seemed to encounter his work across the web. Fast forward a few years later and our paths crossed when friend (and previous guest of the show, Aaron Harris from Isis) connected us over email and then, it all came together. I had to have him on the pod to discuss his love of music, connection to subcultures and film making. Listen and enjoy!Subscribe to David's Substack!

								Dylan Baldi from Cloud Nothings24/03/2021 Duration: 01h04minIt's good to admit when you are wrong and I did that with Dylan on this weeks episode. I wrote off Cloud Nothings for no reason beyond my own personal misconceptions and boy, that was silly. They are a great band and I had to have Dylan Baldi, the lead singer/brainchild, from Cloud Nothings to discuss many things including life in Cleveland, libraries and evolving your sound over time.

								Mike Williams from Eyehategod17/03/2021 Duration: 01h03minSludge metal/doom/stoner...whatever you want to call them, Eyehategod is a completely unique and incredible band which is why I was happy to throw open the podcast studio doors (aka the internet) and invite the vocalist, Mike Williams in for a chat. We discuss nihilism within the bands music, how his reputation sometimes precedes him and living for today. It's a great discussion and hope you enjoy!

								Dylan Walker from Full of Hell03/03/2021 Duration: 01h06minFull Of Hell rules. Dylan Walker is a nice human and we made some podcast magic here. I was stoked to bring Dylan on and discuss his upbringing in rural Pennsylvania, the importance of Hydrahead Records and living life in van (and being happy about it)! Let's do this!

								Mike Reed from Small Brown Bike24/02/2021 Duration: 01h09minIt's Small Brown Bike time! I love this band and saw them many times in the early 2000's (and Mike was actually one of the first interviews I ever did when I was writing for zines, remember those?) and fell in love with the band. They've subsequently released more amazing music and been active here and there when shows were a thing. Mike had been on my list for some time to have on the show, and we made it happen. We discuss his life in rural Michigan, being compared to Hot Water Music and following the flow (sounds mysterious, but it makes sense when you listen to the chat).

Chase Mason is the vocalist for the punishing desert band, Gatecreeper (who just released an absolute BANGER of a record called "An Unexpected Reality") and is a great dude.

								Emily Gullickson, professional gambler (horse racing)10/02/2021 Duration: 01h06minA little bit left of center guest but a great one nonetheless is Emily Gullickson who has made her life by exploring her passion of horse racing and betting. I discovered her through a podcast called "Gamblers" where in she tells her story but most interestingly, speaks about her history in punk/hardcore. I reached out to her to find out more and had her come onto the show. We dove deep into a variety of topics like her putting out Spazz records, being a straight edge adult and the ethics behind horse racing. Loved this chat and I know you will too.Listen to The Punk Rock MBA podcast!

								Pete Appleby from Renee Heartfelt/Count Me Out03/02/2021 Duration: 01h07minMan, do I have a treat for you. This week we have Pete Appleby who played in Count Me Out and Renee Heartfelt, both of them who were incredibly important bands to me (and many others). We dig in with Pete to discuss how both bands may have been a few years too "early", the trials and tribulations with the business side of music and his life as a dentist now.

								Dylan Slocum from Spanish Love Songs27/01/2021 Duration: 01h14minIf you haven't heard of Spanish Love Songs, you my friend...are in for a treat. Their latest LP "Brave Faces Everyone" was one of my favorites of last year and I wanted to bring Dylan (the lead vocalist/guitarist) on the show to discuss their rise in popularity in Europe, comparing the movie/music industry and being a contrarian by nature.

								Bryan Funck from Thou20/01/2021 Duration: 01h03minI love Thou. This is a band that took awhile for me to grab onto but once I did (recently mind you) it's taken hold and won't let go. I had to have Bryan, the vocalist, on the show to punish him about my obsession. We dove into his metal core roots, life in Louisiana and the DIY spirit that has permeated his life.

								Serena Cherry from Svalbard23/12/2020 Duration: 01h06minI love the feeling of discovering new music, even when a band isn't technically "new" and Svalbard, did just that for me this year. I had to have Serena on the show, so we made it happen. Their new LP "When I Die, Will I Get Better" blew me away so Serena and I discuss that, the UK press, being an outsider and of course, roller coasters.

								Jay Laughlin from Turning Point, Godspeed and Honey09/12/2020 Duration: 01h06minTurning Point. What a legendary band and I had the chance to speak to Jay Laughlin, who played guitar in the band as well as Godspeed (highly overlooked post-Turning Point emo band) and his current band, Honey (a rad metal band). We discuss how he views his musical legacy, how much it cost them to record "It's Always Darkest Before the Dawn" and being creative at all costs. Jay is a lifer and I am sure glad he's put out all of the music he has.
