    Ep437: Tom Flynn (Star Pimp, Fang, Antler Family, Boner Records)

    The legendary Tom Flynn has a new 7" out DO THE THUD, Dale Crover plays drums on it and the singer for Star Pimp does some vocals. Awesome! We talk about how weirdly timeless The Money Will Roll In by Fang has become, covered by so many famous bands. The foundation of Boner records and operating a record label long before the internet. Meeting Melvins and Steel Pole Bath Tub and then putting their records out. The LYSOL lawsuit, Antler Family, DUH, Suboptics, Star Pimp and FANG! Tom is a unique guitar player and foundational guy in weird and iconoclastic music. Take a listen! Protonic Reversal is on Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, X/Twitter, Facebook and even TikTok.

    Ep436: Shawn "Defenestrator" O'Connor (Yowie)

    Yowie has been around for a long time. How long? Well their 4th record just came out Taking Umbrage, but they started when Bill Clinton was President. Every Yowie release has had a member leave the band and this one is no different. Defenestrator is now the only original member, and this was recorded without much playing together at all. In fact, ANY of it... yet Taking Umbrage is also one of their best one yet? Learn how Reign in Blood and Dave Lombardo are so important to the Yowie story. How and when Europe "got it". Throwing conventional music standards out the window... Whether Yowie is or is not prog, finding Skin Graft and also the story of the arresting album cover for the new one. All this and so much more!

    Ep435: Blake Fleming (Dazzling Killmen, Laddio Bolocko, The Mars Volta)

    Dazzling Killmen are back in 2025. What an incredible thing to have the band that released the mighty and influential Face of Collapse playing live shows once again. This episode has a focus on their enigmatic, intense and powerful drummer, who started drums young playing in drum line, and had a whole post DK career with the wonderful Laddio Bolocko. AKA: The band that Mars Volta really wanted to be. Speaking of Mars Volta did you know that Blake played in that band? Twice, actually so stay tuned for all that as well as a Dazzling Kilmen early days and deep dive and the future for that reunited band. Certainly not something that could have been predicted when singer and guitarist Nick Sakes came on last. Protonic Reversal is on Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, X/Twitter, Facebook and even TikTok.

    Ep433: Nina Nastasia (Solo, Jolie Laide)

    Nina is back! And with a new record only available on bandcamp. Songs for a World of Trouble isn't just an awesome record, you can't get it on the other streamers. However, you CAN purchase it direct from the artist. Dedicated to the late, great Steve Albini it is a grand experiment and a worthy entry into Nina's discography, it comes with a digital book as well. Song-by-song breakdown of that ensues in this conversation, as well as at length discussions at the state of being an indie musician in a walled garden streaming society and lots more. Updates from the very recent Jolie Laide tour and tons more. Protonic Reversal is on Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, X/Twitter, Facebook and even TikTok. Join us there.

    Ep432: Brian Amalfitano (Deaf Club)

    The mighty DEAF CLUB have a new record called We Demand A Permanent State of Happiness. This excellent band also features former guest of the show Justin Pearson on vocals. This is their best record yet, and we get into all of that as well as Brian's approach to guitar, music, and songwriting. Nirvana, covers, space in music and coming up as a musician in Argentina vs. the US. Spinning Plate Records and the absolute necessity of the record store in the development of younger music fans. the Videos, the nature of collaborations, noise as hooks and lots, lots more.

    Ep431: Jon Fine (We Contain Multitudes, Bitch Maginet, Coptic Light)

    We Contain Multitudes is Jon Fine's new band with Orestes from Bitch Magnet, and it is a corker. Their debut record is called Minako, and it is out now on Expert Work records. A must for fans of Explosions in the Sky, Fucking Champs, Russian Circles, Side 2 of My War, King Crimson, fugazi and things along those lines. It has been 10 years and one month since Jon's last appearance for his book Your Band Sucks: What I Saw at Indie Rock’s Failed Revolution (But Can No Longer Hear). He ended that book by talking about NOT starting another band. So what changed? Well, listen to find out! As well as a free ranging discussion on discovery, creativity, tour culture, the art of creation and so much more.

    Ep430: Jeff Libersher and Thymme Jones (Cheer-Accident)

    The incredible and very long-lived Cheer-Accident have a new record called Admission and some are saying it is their best one yet! Out of... 26? The three decade old band are embarking on a tour of the US and while Thymme is a returning guest, Jeff has never been on the show. Let's get into their longtime collaboration, a song by song of Admission, on the ever reliable Skin Graft records, as well as which Styx record is in the crawl space and which brass instrument can or cannot ruin songs and whether tours are better in retrospect in real time.
