It's the tenth episode of Plenty Of Noise! On this one, Nick talks to Chris Swinney who used to play guitar for PopPunk legends The Ataris. He quit that band ten years ago and went on to start one of the most popular podcasts of our scene called That One Time On Tour. Now, he is also back in the music game with his new band Fire Sale. And even though none of the band members would ever use that term, Fire Sale probably the closest thing to a Punk Rock super group you can get, with members from No Use For A Name, The Ataris, and Protest The Hero joining forces. Chris and Nick talk about the changes that the music business has undergone over the last decade, the blessings of not being a 19-year-old rookie in the business anymore, and the truly unique way in which Fire Sale write their songs. All of this and more on this episode! Enjoy.

This episode reunites Nick with his old pal Ben Cato who used to be the drummer for a group called The Dangerous Summer until his departure in 2020. Now, Ben is back with his new band DIM, and boy, how good can a band's debut album be? It's not even out yet, but you heard it here first: It is freaking awesome. Nick talks to the DIM guys about how the band got together, how their songs came about, and why they are one of the few bands that are actually good at jamming. Check it out!

On this episode, Nick talks to former Have Mercy singer Brian Swindle, who is back in business now and out and about, releasing music under his own name. Brian talks about his struggles during the Have Mercy days, the good place he finds himself in now, and he also tells us why he thinks he is in his songwriting prime at the moment. All of this and more on this episode of your favourite Emo/Pop Punk show!

Nick's interview guest called in sick at the last minute, so this episode of Plenty Of Noise is a little different to what you're used to. We're listening to a lot of bands and artists you have never heard about before but you SHOULD HAVE. Additionally, we talk about the bad reputation of the word Emo in today's music world and how many people think all Emo and PopPunk bands basically sound the same when in fact they DO NOT. All of this and more on this episode of Plenty Of Noise.

Florry from the band Flyswatter joins the show! Flyswatter were about to hit it big in the mid-2000s before splitting up. Now they are finally back! I talk to Florry about what took the band so long to return, we talk about the art of songwriting in general, and we talk about what rock bands have to do to adapt to the ever-changing rules of the music business. All of this and more on episode 6 of Plenty Of Noise!
