Ep. 10 We Broke The Weather embrace the chaos on their self-titled record

The past few years have been dismal and chaotic for just about everyone. For Boston-based Prog-Jazz five piece, We Broke the Weather, the world crumbling around them was the inspiration for their self titled debut album. The band, who met on Craigslist, use their similar tastes as well as their individual tastes to their advantage throughout the record, creating an experience that takes from each members influences to craft something uniquely their own. Join Michael as he sits down and talks to the 5 piece about their debut record in depth to gain a better understanding as to where the themes and the sounds come from on this particular album. Be sure to stay tuned all the way to the end to hear details about how you could WIN a copy of We Broke The Weather's album on CD!

Ep. 09 ME REX- Pterodactyl

This week, Michael is joined by Myles McCabe of the band ME REX as they talk about the EP Pterodactyl while Myles was busy down at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas. The EP sees a return to a more straightforward sound for the band after 2021's more experimental and conceptual album, Megabear was released, and is the last release in which Myles had full creative control of the songwriting and song structure (the last release written before ME REX became a full band and not just a solo project.) Join Michael as he talks to Myles while he walks over to the next thing that he has planned at SXSW with the ambiance of trucks and motorcycles in the background.

Ep. 08 Duncecap x Hajino- Go Climb a Tree

This week on the podcast, Michael has the pleasure of talking to wordsmith Duncecap and abstract beatmaker Hajino about their latest collaborative album Go Climb a Tree. The album features two artists who might be considered to be a little bit 'left-field' from hip-hop's norm coming together to create an experience that is as unique as it is good. Join Michael as he talks to the two talented minds behind Go Climb a Tree and finds out how the introspective rhymes and the one of a kind beats came to be.

Ep. 07 Sun Is Poison- Caribou Killer

Like many projects in 2021, the album, Caribou Killer, was born out of the bedroom. The bedroom is a place where you can fully be yourself and adds a certain amount of honesty to a person's thoughts. Written and recorded entirely by Will Seifert (Sun Is Poison) in his childhood bedroom in Upstate New York, Caribou Killer is the third record from Sun Is Poison and sees Will continuing to record the vulnerable and poetic tracks that Sun Is Poison has become known for by now. Join Michael as he unpacks these tracks with Will and has conversations to better understand the person behind the masterpiece that is Caribou Killer and the songs that lay within the record.

Ep. 06 Jim E. Brown- Broken

Jim E. Brown is an up and coming 19 year old musician, poet and activist from Manchester, UK who just recently got into creating music this year by way of the generous gift of an iPad that his Aunt Melba May gifted him. Broken is Jim's second album, as he will let you know on his first track, 'Intro (This is My Second album.)' His sophomore album finds him exploring a darker range of topics than his first album, which was made up entirely of love songs. Join Michael as he talks the teenage sensation who calls himself an 'Obese Alcoholic' on this week's episode of Plastic Lizard: Uncovered.

Ep. 05 (Eli)zabeth Owens- Knock Knock

For Richmond, Virginia-based artist Eli Owens (they/them) music is a way to figure themselves out. On the fantastic 2021 album, Knock Knock, Eli explores topics surrounding mental health, such as their sobriety from alcohol and drugs, and their childhood wounds. Knock Knock is beautifully lush, yet vulnerable album with so much weight behind it. Join Michael as he talks to Eli about their latest album, Knock Knock and the deeper meaning behind the tracks.

Ep. 04 Teenage Superman- The Endless Sunset

This week, Michael is joined by Mankato-based artist Teenage Superman (Alex Lemmermann) as they talk about his 2020 album entitled The Endless Sunset. This release is the culmination of seven years in which Alex attempted to write and create music. The final product is a highly personal release that sees Teenage Superman voyage through many topics and questions that many people, especially young adults, find themselves asking and thinking about. Recorded and written entirely by one man in true outsider fashion, Teenage Superman takes us through the various topics that he explores throughout The Endless Sunset, giving the listener a better idea as to where each song came from.
