    Dylan Turner and Megan Kane of Parker Barrow Hold the Mash and Hit the Road With Southern Rock Spirit

    This week, we're scratching The Itch for some Southern spirit! Dylan Turner and Megan Kane of Parker Barrow Hold the Mash on their new album because, well, you don't really need it when you've got so many bangers. The adorable couple behind the band join us to talk about how their love of bands like The Black Crowes inspires their music, how solidifying their lineup evolved their creative process, and how they keep both their marriage and their connection to their church community going strong while spending so much time touring. Plus, The Itch gets to shout out our mutual friends The Hook Rocks, All Things Blues & Southern Rock, and My Weekly Mixtape (check out Parker Barrow's appearances on all three shows), and Dylan and Megan give us the scoop on some of the best food stops in the UK!

    Concert Catch-up: The First Show of Father of Peace

    This week, we're scratching The Itch for a beginning! For the past couple of years, Father of Peace has been amassing a following across social media with their quirky songs, styles, and videos. Now, the trio of Avshalom Ariel, Tom Bolllig, and May Alpert have finally taken their music on the road... and across the world. After collectively moving from Israel to Los Angeles, they announced not only their first tour, but their first shows ever. And before most of the dates sold out, Aaron just happened to snag tickets to the very first one at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago, where he came back with tales of charming merch, a fully invested crowd, and how apparently we're all now part of a band. Where our previous episode explored what it's like for a band to end well, this one completes the circle of life by discussing what it's like to navigate the music scene as a new band, where expectations can feel impossible and skepticism can feel inescapable. But a spoiler alert for this act: The hype is real, and the future is bright. Hello, Father of Peace. Welcome to the world. Enjoy.

    Concert Catch-up: The Final Show of '68

    This week, we're scratching The Itch for an ending! For the past 13 years, '68 has blessed the world with their unique brand of chaotic, avant-garde, two-man noise rock. This year, Josh Scogin and Nikko Yamada announced that the time had come to close the book on the band. After releasing their final album, They Are Survived, the band embarked on their Farewell Tour. The Itch wasn't able to see them on that tour, but fortunately our friends were! For the first time ever, we're bringing in Itch correspondents in the form of our Shiprocked friends Claire and Jacob to talk about their experience seeing multiple shows on '68's final run, including the grand finale at The Masquerade in the band's hometown of Atlanta. Join us for a celebration of the commitment, emotion, and drum kit deconstruction that made up the life and times of the great '68. Plus, while this episode covered a band's final show, stay tuned for a preview of an episode coming later this week that completes the circle of life by exploring an exciting new band's first show... ever. Enjoy. Listen to The Itch Rock Radio Show Rock with us every Sunday night from 6-9pm CST on KCLC-FM in St. Louis. Outside the area?

    Concert Catch-up: Godsmack, Stone Temple Pilots, Dorothy, Parker Barrow, and The Steepwater Band!

    This week, we're scratching The Itch for a homecoming! KC and Dan caught a couple of St. Louis shows, including Itch guest Sam Bam Koltun returning to play for his biggest hometown crowd ever as part of Godsmack! And if you remember him from his work with Dorothy, she was on the bill too, alongside 90s rock legends Stone Temple Pilots! Plus KC confirms that the Parker Barrow hype is real as he catches their show with The Steepwater Band! It was a pair of highly wholesome nights, and we're glad you're here to hear about them. You also might remember Parker Barrow as the show stealers from our episode about our friend Jay Scott of The Hook Rocks and his benefit concert. If you'd like to contribute to his continued recovery, you can do so here. We'll love ya for it.

    Fury in Few Explores the Cost of Chasing Your Dreams on Their Debut Album How Bad Do You Want It?

    This week, we're scratching The Itch to be dangerous! Brayden and Ryan of Fury in Few are back to answer the question How Bad Do You Want It? on their outstanding debut album. The guys take us on a track-by-track journey through the record, exploring their methods of adding "character" to songs, stretching themselves sonically to make the music they truly want, and how they're making social media work better for them without becoming part of the content creation machine. Plus, we'll discuss the song on the album that isn't theirs and get excited about chain sandwich shops, all while Dan does the interview ... concussed? Enjoy.

    Amanda Lyberg of Eva Under Fire Takes Us Through Every Song on Villainous

    This week, we're scratching The Itch to get Villainous! Amanda Lyberg of Eva Under Fire returns to give us an exclusive track-by-track breakdown of the band's highly anticipated new album. From the opening song that tells the story's last chapter to the record's particularly violent end, Amanda is making it clear that she's laying claim to her identity, regardless of what anyone has to say about it. We'll talk about the title track collaboration with Maria Brink of In This Moment, the huge upcoming tour with Five Finger Death Punch, and how to fool-proof an album for label suits. Plus, Amanda gets to play with dangerous weapons... sort of. Enjoy. Listen to The Itch Rock Radio Show Rock with us every Sunday night from 6-9pm CST on KCLC-FM in St. Louis. Outside the area?

    Ekoh and Lø Spirit of Ninth Key on Choosing the Authentic Over the Artificial

    This week, we're scratching The Itch for a two-for-one deal! Ekoh and Lø Spirit have spent years forging unique paths as independent solo artists. But a collaboration a few years ago led to the realization that, well, they love collaborating. They formalized their alliance this year with a new band, Ninth Key, and put themselves on the map (and the charts) immediately with their debut single, "If I Wasn't Me". With a strong ethos and a stronger work ethic, Ekoh and Lø have set out to claw their way to success without a big team, cowriters, or AI behind them. Their determination and DIY attitude make them the exact kind of authentic, against-the-grain guys The Itch loves to root for. And their penchant for dropping nuggets of wisdom in conversation make them the exact kind of guys we love to talk with. Enjoy.
