    V&V Episode 117 Matt McGuyer(Amblare, Mock Orange) & Chavez's Ride The Fader

    V&V Episode 117 Matt McGuyer(Amblare, Mock Orange) & Chavez's Ride The Fader

    Matt McGuyer is an incredibly talented singer and songwriter. As you'll learn through this conversation, he's been surrounded by and learning how to play music since he was 5! And it shows! Though, he has not been able to get any recorded works published until now, I can only assume the floodgates have been bashed open and we'll be hearing a lot more from Matt.

    This conversation is a bit heavy handed on the loss of Bryan St. Pere. Only because Amblare's new album will most likely be it's only due to Bryan's untimely and tragic passing. It is nice to have Matt to share his personal experiences of getting to know and work with Bryan intimately. They've been able to make a great album and if you're at all a fan of Hum(or Chavez for that matter) I encourage you to get in Amblare. Find the vinyl and streaming here:

    V&V Episode 116 Jem Moloney(Dead, We Empty Rooms) & Harvey Milk's A Small Turn of Human Kindness

    V&V Episode 116 Jem Moloney(Dead, We Empty Rooms) & Harvey Milk's A Small Turn of Human Kindness

    Upon being approached to speak with Jem from We Empty Rooms in Castlemaine, AU, I had to dig into as much of the Dead catalog as possible(there's a lot!). Then I found out about the types of releases WER does, like Dead's new album, Burn Us Clean, a box set of 9 split 7" singles! Most everything they release has amazing artwork which is all silksreened. Then Jem chose this album by Harvey Milk! F*****g bonkers! There's so much to get into, and maybe that's why this show is a little longer than usual, but there was a lot to get in there. The long and the short of it is, if you're here because you know and like Jem's band, Dead and don't know Harvey Milk, you might want to get into them. They have some interesting similarities. and Dead has worked closely with some members of Harvey Milk on some songs. Or if you're here because you like Harvey Milk and this crazy album, A Small Turn of Human Kindness, then you might want to give Dead a shot. also, if you're hunting for any kind of information about this enigmatic album, well this might be the stop for you. Please don't forget to support Dead as they tour the US coming soon.

    V&V Episode 115 Charlie Schmid(Del Judas) & Chris Isaak's Silvertone

    V&V Episode 115 Charlie Schmid(Del Judas) & Chris Isaak's Silvertone

    It's nice to be able to dive into something other than heavy, loud, aggressive, noise rock. Not that there's anything wrong with that. And my guest today, Charlie Schmid, would probably agree with me. Having been the drummer for bands like Vaura and Tombs, he's no stranger to loud aggressive music. With that being said, you might think maybe listening to and making music like Chris Isaak is the stranger thing. But it's not. And hopefully this conversation can shed a little bit of light on what that's like or how that can happen.

    Silvertone is a great album that draws from the well of old country, honky tonk, rockabilly and even a touch of blues. And Del Judas' music is very similar. He will be releasing a song called Angela on March 15, 2024. This will be the first single from his forthcoming new album. I think the best way to stay in the know about what Del Judas is up to will be at his website.

    All links to his social medias and Bandcamp are there. You can get his debut album Deity through those links now!

    V&V Episode 114 Christian Lembach(Whores.) & Helmet's Meantime

    V&V Episode 114 Christian Lembach(Whores.) & Helmet's Meantime

    Goddamnit! Whores is one hell of a band! New album is coming out April 16 on The Ghost is Clear Records. Vinyl presale is underway now and already on it's third pressing! Get it while you can. Lord knows it might be your only chance. Despite what you might think of the band's name, Christian(and I'm sure the other members of the band) ia a kind sweet person that just happen to make brutal, gut punching music. And if you're a fan of heavy noise rock and such, this is the band you want to know. National headlining tour will be under way very soon. Catch them if they're close to you.

    In case you aren't familiar with Helmet, they're a close kin to what Whores do. A fairly obvious influence on Christian, so if you by chance don't know them or this album, please check it out. You'll probably like it. Hard to find good information about it, but I found some stuff that worked out pretty well.

    Get Whores' new album, War out on TGIC Records here: https://whores.bandcamp.com/

    V&V Episode 113 Blake Bickel(Bronson Arm) & Melvins' Houdini

    V&V Episode 113 Blake Bickel(Bronson Arm) & Melvins' Houdini

    Blake Bickel is an interesting dude. In this talk I get as deep as I can into his past, growing up while moving frequently. Desperately trying to get his hands on exciting music while trying to find his own passion. Eventually stumbling across The Melvins, and it was all over from there. If you know and like Melvins' Houdini, there's a good chance you like Blake's band, Bronson Arm. They're similarly very heavy and aggressive music, but it's my opinion that Bronson Arm adds a touch more melody to their tunes. Try it out yourself and see what I mean. They have a lovely splattered vinyl out right now on Learning Curve Records and will be touring throughout the year. Find them in all these links.

    V&V Episode 112 Eddie Shaw of The Monks

    V&V Episode 112 Eddie Shaw of The Monks

    It is an honor to bring to you Eddie Shaw! The bass player of The Monks! The Monks have been a long time influence and inspiration to me, personally, as well as being a influence over countless bands since 1966 through today thanks to the rediscovery of the band through Ugly Things Magazine in the 90's. Their album, Black Monk Time, has since been reissue many times through many labels and they have even had some previously unreleased songs released for the first time through Jack White's Third Man Records.

    It's a wild and incredible story which I am honored to have been able to sit with Eddie and try to get a full description of what was happening at the time, what was informing their direction, the continued legacy and what he's been up to lately.

    I encourage you all to pick up a copy of his book Black Monk Time through the provided links. Also, listen to the album! It's only available to stream through YouTube at the moment.(Light in The Attic Records I'm looking at you!)

Fantastic format

Came here for the Gavin Castleton episode. Completely impressed by the format, the interview style, and the back and forth commentary about the album of choice. A+. Look forward to digging into more episodes with people I don’t actually already know. Great work.
