So much great music gets lost in the cracks. Join us at Earshifter where we feature artists (old and new) often overlooked by the masses and radio. We’ll talk about what makes the band great and different, their background and their bestest-est songs.  Earshifter is ultimately about two things: music discovery OR if you love the feature artist in an episode, going deep on that band you love.

    Gil Scott-Heron

    Gil Scott-Heron – the poet-musician who foreshadowed rap and political hip-hop before any of it existed. On the 15th anniversary of his death, Sean shares two intimate concerts and why songs written in 1970 sound like they were written yesterday. Plus, the final album Damon Albarn played on, why "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" landed in a 2025 Leonardo DiCaprio film and why the protest song has never been more relevant.

    my bloody valentine

    my bloody valentine – the Irish band that single-handedly created shoegaze. Sean and Rene deliver a Shoegaze 101 alongside the MBV story: who influenced them, the bands they inspired, and why Loveless – recorded over two years across 19 studios – is still the genre's blueprint. Plus, the Kevin Shields disappearance that drew Brian Wilson comparisons, why Rene says Loveless is a no-skip album, and why once again, Great Britain was way ahead of the curve.

    nomeansno

    Nomeansno – the underknown Canadian band that smashed punk, prog, jazz and funk into something completely new. Sean and Rene dive into the group’s complex song structures, dark humour, explosive live energy and refusal to play by industry rules. From acapella hardcore experiments and fake band mythology to seeing them live and how that changed everything for Sean. Spotify Songs Playlist Apple Music Songs Playlist Send us Fan Mail

    Parquet Courts

    Parquet Courts – the Brooklyn band with Texas roots who constantly evolve and do whatever they want. Rene calls them "one of the most overlooked" out of all 20 bands Earshifter's covered, despite Light Up Gold hitting #85 on Rolling Stone's best albums list. Hear about their collab with Karen O (from yeah yeah yeahs), their punk rock ethos, constant evolution from 1-minute punk rawness to polished 7-minute epics, and why 300,000 monthly listeners isn't nearly enough.

    Dinosaur Jr

    Dinosaur Jr. – the band who brought guitar solos back and nearly broke apart forever. Hear about J Mascis ignoring Kurt Cobain's invite to join Nirvana, the bitter 10-year split, Lou and Murph's forgiveness, and why friendship matters as much as the music after 20+ years reunited. Plus, Sean talks about seeing them three times: 1989 Lee's Palace (J demanding lights off), 2013 Riot Fest, and 2025 Wilco Festival. Spotify Song Playlist Apple Song Playlist Send us Fan Mail

    Waxahatchee Part 2

    Waxahatchee Part 2 – The alt-country transformation that changed everything. Rene struggled through the rock-heavy Out in the Storm, but Saint Cloud and Tigers Blood brought him back strong. Hear about producer Brad Cook's impact (MJ Lenderman, Snocaps) and the full-circle Snocaps reunion. Plus, why both hosts independently picked Snocaps for Best of 2025, and Rene's 11-year gap between Katie concerts. Spotify Song Playlist Apple Music Song Playlist Send us Fan Mail

    Waxahatchee Part 1

    Katie Crutchfield whose first two melancholy lo-fi albums make Rene limit himself to 4 listens, despite loving them. Learn about the connection to her twin sister, her progression from intimate 2014 performer to commanding 2025 presence (Rene's top 25 concerts of all time) and why Ivy Tripp is his first no-skip album. Part 2, Sean explores her continual musical shift and MJ Lenderman collaboration. Spotify Song Playlist Apple Music Song Playlist Send us Fan Mail

    MJ Lenderman

    MJ Lenderman – the "musician's musician" who played with what seemed like every band at the Wilco Festival in Mexico. Learn how his Guitar Hero obsession led to real guitar and his links to Wednesday, Waxahatchee and Snocaps. Sean picks Long Black Veil to troll Rene again, and they debate mondegreens and the mysterious Himbo Dome. Plus, Sean's Rock Band existential crisis over "Run to the Hills," and the Massey Hall Toronto show Rene completely forgot he was going to.
