I Love Ur Band Isaac Gehring

Catbite is an energetic powerhouse of a ska band out of Philadelphia Pennsylvania. For being a relatively new group, they’ve quickly established themselves and their sound as a pillar to look out for in the genre. They really care about their tunes, their Philadelphia scene, and most of all they care deeply for their fans.


Lucky me, I got to sit down with the bands songwriting duo/power couple Tim Hildebrand (guitars) and Brittany Luna (vocals/keys.) Listen while we talk performing, creativity in a pandemic, the Philadelphia music scene, hate keeping, and much more! A massive thank you for them taking some time out of their day to hang.


So check it out!

An interview with the one and only Andy Hoopes of Watch Your Tone. Andy is an incredibly versatile artist who greatly impacted my area and scene here in Utah. Learn more about starting your first band, branding woes, and transitioning into your next project.

MC Lars is a California based rapper known for his pop culture and literature references. His sound and attitude has carried him all around the world whether by opening for Snoop Dog, playing Warped Tour, or even collaborating with idols like Weird Al and Bowling for Soup. 

He is truly unique and we were really lucky to snag him for this interview. This ones for 17 year old me! Enjoy!

One of the coolest producers in the game we interview the homie Gareth Calk and pick his brain a bit for his thoughts on pop music, production, and how the behind the scenes of music can help an artist flourish in front of the scenes. 

Imagine if you will, an enchantingly calm and clear body of water. You can see the vegetation, the rocks, the creatures living their various lives, all the way straight to the bottom. It's deep. Now jump in.

That's the feeling of listening to the Detroit based emo outfit Dogleg. It's polished to perfection from song writing, technicality, emotion, there's nothing more you could ask for if you're a fan of this style of music. At the same time, this perfection is absolutely disrupted by the pure ferocity of the songs. They range from a sonic, distorted, knife fight to a nice walk in the park.  Basically It's really, really, good music. Remember how in episode 1 we mentioned some bands delivered life changing music? This is one the bands that came first to mind with their debut album Melee.

Listen to Dogleg frontman Alex Spoitsiadis enlighten us on how Michigan weather influences Michigan art, what to do when you can't tour your best album, the infamous University of Michigan 'Metal Frat,' and what it's like to be a maximalist disguised as a minimalist.

Check it out!

And while you're at it, listen to their 2020 debut album Melee. It's been an instant classic for my rotation.

Growing up among the "midwest emo revival" can either make or break you.
