Buckle up as we traverse the gritty soundscape of synth-punk and explore the raw emotion and societal commentary that fuels Nick's music.In this episode, we navigate the neon-lit streets of a dystopian world where capitalism reigns supreme, and the DIY spirit fights back with every screeching synth and pounding beat. Nick opens up about the challenges and triumphs of creating his latest album, a project almost lost to the digital abyss, and how becoming a new father amidst a society that falls short on empathy shaped his artistic vision.Listeners, prepare for a journey through a sonic amusement park of sorts, where each track is a ride through the highs and lows of existential dread and defiant hope. We discuss the fluidity of Sludge City as a place, a state of mind, and a reflection of our collective anxiety, with Nick's music serving as the soundtrack to our own personal revolutions.We also touch on the camaraderie within the DIY scene, the influence of movie soundtracks on Nick's work, and the cathartic process of music-making as a means to feel normal in a world that often feels anything but.As Nick gears up to promote his album and looks ahead to future projects, we're reminded that creativity can be as much about fun as it is about making a statement. So, if you're ready to embrace the chaos and find beauty in the dissonance, this is the episode for you.Here's a track that's a rallying cry from the sewers of Sludge City.
