This episode is about the Dischord half-release that brings a new band into the fold, Hoover. They were innovators and harbingers of much to come for the sonics of the 90s punk scene. Does this episode or my conversation with guitarist/vocalist, Joe McRedmond (absolutely the nicest guy I've interviewed this year), change my old bias against the ban…

As you'll most likely hear, it can be hard to find words to express all the nuance and depth of meaning a favorite piece of art elicits in you. This is a perfect case in point. This album has soundtracked many years of my life, and continues to do so. With that caveat, I hope you enjoy this conversation. I always know it'll be a good episode when S…

It was a real pleasure to have one of my oldest friends, Ken Smallwood, on as copilot for the episode. There is definitely a little good cop/bad cop energy going on with us around this release.

Wow, the first Dischord-approved picture disc. Adventurous? Disastrous? No big deal? Regardless, both Circus Lupus and Trenchmouth bring strong material to the project. Hear Scott and I unwrap this sonic candy (and try to stop staring at the magazine poster-style shot of CL). Towards the end of the show, Chris Thomson and Seth Lorinczi drop by to r…
