David Fairbanks is a founding member and front man of the band Pomeroy, a hip-hop and rock band that toured extensively throughout the country between 1999-2009. Known for the hit single, "Roboflow," Pomeroy captivated audiences with their upbeat songs and high energy shows. Pomeroy wasn't just a band, but a "movement" throughout the Midwest.

After that time with Pomeroy came to a close, and a whirlwind of life and career changes- David helped found the electrifying Kansas City group- Lost Wax as well as find time to work on his solo project: Lopan Banks.

With a debut release on the horizon, Lopan Banks takes what David did with Pomeroy and electrifies it- elevating his art to new heights.

For the past 10 years, Zak Wenzel has traveled to some of the most haunted locations in the US to investigate and try to debunk claims of spirits and manifestations. He attempts to apply science and knowledge from previous investigations to get results, whether this be proving or disproving paranormal occurrences.

Formed in 1995, Save Ferris remains one of the seminal and most beloved bands from the third wave of ska. The group’s Orange County home was fertile ground for a thriving music scene, with punk, rock, and ska emerging from the region. Save Ferris blended the best elements of these sounds to help bring the region’s sound to the world. The group’s humble beginnings saw them play house parties and local venues, powered by Monique Powell’s high-octane vocals. Save Ferris’ live show instantly became a hit. Known for their cover of "Come On Eileen," their hit single "The World Is New," and a feature in the motion picture "10 Things I Hate About You"- Save Ferris was atop of the world.

After a hiatus that ran from 2003 to 2013, and some "legal hoopla": Powell and her bandmates went into the studio to record a new EP in 2016. The end result was an upbeat collection called: "Checkered Past."
Following the release, Save Ferris played the entire 2017 Warped Tour on the main stage, headlined shows, and played festivals across the world. The future is as bright as it has been for Save Ferris in a long time. Powell scrapped a record she wrote prior to the pandemic and is currently at work on the first new Save Ferris album in nearly two decades.

A lot of amazing shows in 2024: Powell has proven why she is the centerpiece of the action. Her dazzling on- stage presence continues to wow audiences and the band’s energy is infectious. Save Ferris are out to prove that they’re no nostalgia act, with their best days still ahead of them.

M, A, YAH II is a professional fighter based out of Omaha, Nebraska. He's got an undefeated amateur record, and only one loss as a pro.
A great mindset paired with a compelling skill set will make this prospect one to watch for a long time to come. His next fight is 6/7/2024 at the Liberty First Credit Union Arena for Dynasty Combat Sports Summer Kickoff 2024- where he will put on display all the attributes that make his name one that people will remember for a long time to come.

Stephen Christian is best known as the lead vocalist of the band Anberlin, as well as the vocalist of his acoustic side-project Anchor & Braille. Currently he is the pastor at Grace Family Church in South Tampa, Florida. 

We discuss his journey into music, his hiatus(es) from Anberlin, a forray into the world of JiuJitsu- but it all leads off with one of my most favorite (and unbelievable) fan experiences involving Stephen.

This is a fantastic episode for anyone that has ever been a fan of the band and of learning about themselves. 

iNTeRNeT FReNDz was born as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic - with Rossy Burr getting stuck in the UK with no way to leave in the foreseeable future, he began writing music and ended up leaving behind his 14-year career in artist management to focus on writing music and, eventually, performing it. He began searching for a vocalist for this (over 100) newly-written songs and ended up stumbling upon Michael Swank on TikTok and the rest is history. The two managed to meet up in late 2022 to record demos and have been working ever since - with their first EP iT’S a SeCReT set for release on June 26, the band has already amassed over 28 thousand followers on TikTok.
