100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

Episode 244 - As strange as it is to say it, it’s equally as strange for me to type it but Blasko the bass player of Ozzy Osbourne is on the show today. He’s a good friend of mine from us working together when I was at Century Media Records. He also manages a ton of bands including Black Veil Brides and hosts his own podcast called MANAGEMETAL that I urge you to check out. In any event, we discuss surreal “rock” moments, playing as a hired fun and determination. He’s got a great attitude and I loved having this discussion. Enjoy!

Episode 243 - This guest has been on my “to speak to” list for quite some time and finally, I got him.

He’s an incredibly compelling individual and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Use our Amazon Affiliate Code to support the show!

Each day is one day closer to the end of our 45th president. Fortunately, we have a great discussion with Stephen Cobucci from Wolves at the Gate on the podcast today. We dive deep into poor Christian music substitutes, the balance between tour and “real” life back at home and the life of a mid-level band. Please relax for a moment with me while we all distract ourselves from the nightmare onslaught of news. Enjoy! Use our Amazon Affiliate Code to support the show!

Episode 241 - We survived the inauguration and are back for another week of insightful conversation with people involved in independent music. This week we have my old friend, Val Loper on the show. He plays in a rock band called Bear Hands (and a killer solo project called Rubbing Alcohol) and once upon a time, played in a melodic hardcore band called In Pieces. We talk the strange experience of playing radio festivals, playing in the indie rock world and drinking. It’s a frank and honest discussion of all things being in a band and I loved it. Have fun!

Episode 240 - Great show today with Josh Brigham from Hopesfall talking to me about melodic hardcore, religion and ultimately, not fitting in. Hopesfall was an important band to me and many others in the late 90’s and early 2000’s that were doing something slightly unconventional in combining atmospheric rock with melodic hardcore and pulled it off with great affect.
