Sharing floor stories! Whether a career musician or a music fan in the crowd, we all have stories of concerts we have attended. Epic sets witnessed, epic fails endured. It could be a crazy story about on the way to the show or coming back from the venue. Maybe you met your favorite musician awkwardly in the bathroom! An explanation of that scar you got at the fest. Or maybe you are a musician with moments on stage and from the road. Whatever it is, it is yours to share and on the pit calls podcast my guests are doing just that!

    Back In the Pit With Tyler Fieldhouse Of Gilt & i.liedtomyself

    In music, there are those who are an artistic engine. They work hard, create, and turn pretty much everything into art. Often these are the ones who are lead or co-lead of the band, maybe take the reins as manager; basically, they do a bit of it all. The good ones also know how to step aside and let others take the stage. Tyler Fieldhouse of Gilt and i.liedtomyself is one of those individuals. Tyler Fieldhouse is back in the pit!! This is the second time speaking with the guitarist and writer for Gilt and i.liedtomyself. Listeners may remember Tyler's first time on the pod and the history we share of the music scene in St Augustine and the surrounding areas. Yeah, Tyler and I have known each other for a while. For this episode, we discuss the new project with partner Nico called i.iedtomyself, as well as look at what Gilt has been up to with a new lp releasing THIS MONTH. Tyler discusses what it is like going between the more ephemeral pop of i.liedtomyself and the heavier nÜ-emocore of Gilt. We chop it up on the structure and depth of the highly anticipated new album. Tyler shares how much fun they have with aesthetics. We even get into the importance of PRIDE and the impact Gilt and other lgbtq artists have on culture. We talk a lot, and it is all good. gilt ⁠bandcamp⁠ gilt ⁠insta⁠ i.liedtomyself ⁠bandcamp  i.liedtomyself ⁠insta  Pit Calls on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ Pit Calls now on ⁠⁠TikTok

    Adam Hussler Of Powerplay & Get In the Van Booking Is A Stage Daddy

    In any healthy, growing community, it's essential to have people who start young and mature into roles of leadership. In music communities like that of punk and hardcore, it could be someone skilled at booking tours or managing venues. Sometimes, it’s an excellent stage manager who ensures everything runs smoothly. Other times, it might be band members who take younger bands under their wing. Often in the music scene, it’s those who encompass some, if not all, of these roles. These are the individuals who keep the scene alive. Adams Hussler is one of these individuals. Adam is a man who wears many hats in the hardcore scene. On stage, he is the lead singer of Miami's Powerplay. As an experienced leader, he owns Get In the Van Booking, where he and his team are dedicated to helping bands reach the next level. Perhaps most importantly, Adam is one of the "Stage Daddies" (a stage manager wearing the perfect short shorts) in The Shed at Furnace Fest. In this conversation, we really cover it all. Adam has extensive knowledge of the hardcore genre, which he generously shares. He offers valuable advice drawn from his many years of experience in performing, booking, and navigating the various challenges of being in a band today. He provides us with quite the playlist made up of his band and dozens of other acts to listen to. And we, of course, discuss Furnace Fest. We even delve into politics! A man who wears many hats can engage in many topics, and for Adam and me, everything revolves around hardcore. Enjoy!

    Jason Szeman Of Burning Out Still On Fire

    The world of music is full of people who are talented, but only a handful "make it big". There are many musical artists of all genres who put in the work that never end up in Rolling Stone or AP Magazine. Yet, the artistic desire never stops burning. The temperature may change, and the colors evolve, but the fire is still there. Such artists gain respect without the fame. These are the ones that influence local scenes and entire underground movements. For the first episode of 2026, I am joined by Jason Szeman, lead singer of Toronto-based band Burning Out. Jason is a member of the Furnace Fest Community, known for both music and a love of horror movies. This is a conversation of the former, and the story(s) of Jason's life in the hardcore and punk scene. From starting as a drummer to being possibly forced into the role of frontman, Jason is an artist forged by the underground scene that has definitely put in his time. Now a bit older and with an idea of just how valuable time is, Jason fronts Burning Out, a punk/emo band some would call a local supergroup (Jason would not), recently signed to friends of the pod Limestone Records. As we share pit calls and stories of our musical experiences, Jason talks about the journey that brought him where he is now. And where that is is a band with fellow musicians who have been through the fires and are still burning together.

    Furnace Fest Is For Family with Kenon Koffkey

    Music subcultures are a special home for many of us. They allow us to find people like us in a community that lets us be ourselves. In the realm of hardcore and emo subcultures, which seem very intertwined, many of us find this to be a lifestyle. When people from the outside ask about “these bands” and “the pits”, we often are unsure how to describe them. Sometimes the best way to introduce someone is to just throw them in! I am once again joined in this episode by Kenon Koffkey to reflect on another year of Furnace Fest. We were told 2024 was the end of an era, only to be somewhat surprised a few months later to see Furnace Fest announced for 2025! Kenon and I discuss what it was like experiencing the end, only for it not to be the end. We look back on what we enjoyed about this past year. Kenon also shares what it was like inviting some of his family to experience his music community and the subculture born from it. We reflect, we analyze, and we enjoy the music. Come join us!

    Chris Berseth Takes LOL Seriously

    Being a creator often means creating through change. Changes in technology, in inspiration, in teammates, and more. Creating music can be a perfect example, but if you love creating music, you figure out how to work with the change. In this episode, I catch up with Chris Berseth of Elowel (title makes more sense now). Chris and I have known each other since the days of the Bad Christian Club. Over the years, I have come to know Chris as both a creative individual and a passionate music lover. I first came to see him as someone who had good taste in the heavier genres, but over time, I have learned that his tastes in music are vast. We discuss this love of music and how it has evolved over the years. We also discuss forming a band over the internet, having a fondness for a full house, and transitioning to a solo act. Chris also shares news on his upcoming album being released on the new record label, Limestone Records! Catch it all in this great conversation. Capiche?!

    Codi Nobles Gets Metal

    Metal is a musical genre that many know of, but not many really know. Are you a metal head or a novice? Do you know the sub-genres of thrash, death, black, doom, etc? I know some metal, but not a lot, and over the years the sub-genres have confused me. That is why I brought on my cousin Codi to help me better understand the world of metal. Codi is a metal head that used to host a YouTube channel with his father called Metal Miners. With his guidance we dip our toes into the world of metal, and discuss some of the different genres that many find when they journey into this world. Join me as I get an education on some of the heaviest music out there. Along the way Codi is sure to piss off some metal heads, because just like there are many sub-genres, there are also many opinions. HORNS UP!
