    OTSwM #48 - Aaron Dalbec of Be Well, Only Crime, & BANE

    Other than being apart of and creating arguably the most appreciated, influential record of all time in our… “Jane Doe” by Converge. Aaron has had an insane career and continues to do so as BANE heads out on tour this summer for some one offs as well as a full run with Quicksand! Aaron & I cover a lot in this compact info filled episode. For starters having a band consisting of fellow members in Black Flag, Good Riddance, Rise Against, how BANE became a 5 piece, kicking over original concert used Black Flag drums…. and more! If you are out in the Las Vegas area, Aaron will be doing guided tour at the Punk Rock Museum June 12- 14th. As well as doing a QnA June 13th following BANE documentary “Holding These Moments”.

    OTSwM #44 - Jason Jenkins of Grael

    Sorry for the delay but finally had time to upload this one. Jason’s first published, and maybe last?, interview as frontman of Grael is here! Grael is not one on the spotlight, the Long Island hardcore power house made a statement last year playing some of the biggest shows in hxc. Jason showcases and displays his true purpose/ passion of being in the scene. Not only is he a frontman but Jason also runs a publishing company in which he puts out visual based books/ zines. Jason and I talk about creative control/ artwork, being supported by many from the beginning, how important it is for him to be in the Long Island scene & more!

    OTSwM #43 - Bob Nanna of Braid & Hey Mercedes

    Bob Nanna wrote one of the most perfect albums, Frame & Canvas, over 25 years ago and we can't stop talking about it. Sitting down with Bob was a treat! After having some scheduling issues we finally made time to give you all this hour long episode talking about Bob's college experience, writing new music as an older band, how Braid came back, upcoming shows, his new act as a frontman of a Smiths tribute band & more! Whether you love Braid, Hey Mercedes or just love music like we do then this one is for you. I personally saw Braid a few years ago at an local venue with my buddy , Tellus 360, and we still talk about how sonically perfect they are. I hope to be able to catch them next time they hit the road again! Episode now out on YouTube, Apple, and Spotify! Thank you Gary, of Sound Acres, as always for sponsoring this episode!

    OTSwM #42 - Geert van der Velde of Shai Hulud & The Black Atlantic

    Shai Hulud has arguably one of the most complicated histories in the realm of hardcore music. Tune in to the episode as we unfold Shai Hulud’s history but importantly unwrap Geert’s long history, as one of the most active/ longest touring frontman. Along with music Geert is also a huge chess player as well as an entrepreneur. With recent news The Black Atlantic, Geert’s indie/ alternative act, announced an EU tour for the first time in years! Geert’s story is undeniably strong, true example of determination and grit, going from a fan to the man running the shows and ultimately being one of the most recognized pieces of Shai Hulud.
