I have a treat for you, Kat Moss from Scowl comes to hang out with us today! The band has turned a lot of heads within the hardcore and punk world, so I had to have her on the show.

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.

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.

Mario Rubalcaba is an incredible drummer and he has played in some of my favorite bands, which by default makes him one of my favorite drummers.
