Episode 84: Brian 'Clevo' Ristau (Ten Yard Fight) "False Hope: The heart of it all"
/

Brian was the bassist for Boston hardcore band Ten Yard Fight and is a frequent contributor to the 185 Miles South podcast. Hardcore-punk is a small world? Sometimes… Brian and I have been in the same room countless times, we have a million mutuals and have been “followers” of each other on social media, yet had never met until we did this episode. I am finally glad we did! This is a fun episode where Brian and I got to talk about Ohio, teaching (off mic) and gush over the legendary False Hope as well a few other bands;

Project X, False Hope, Agnostic Front, Cro Mags, Weirdos, Negative Approach, 7 Seconds, The Cure, Black Sabbath and Tragedy.

/

Aaron Stefanko is the vocalist and one of the guitarists in White Lighter. Aaron and I have known each other for a while, crossing paths periodically over the years, but have hung out more frequently in recent years. I figured it was time to sit down with Aaron and record one of our conversations. We cover a lot of stuff but I think it is clear that The Mummies rule.

Who are the other bands we chat about? Kiss, The Seeds, King Kahn and the BBQ Show, Buck Owens, The Dirtbombs, Uncle Scratch’s Gospel Revival, Redd Kross, Jay Reatard and Kim Fowley.

Episode 79: Five and Change "Playing catch up"

There’s no guest on this one – it is just me rambling a bit. A little while ago there was a HUGE gap between episodes. During that time I had played a reunion show, read some comics, novels and listened to some records. What was I reading? What was I listening to? You’ll have to check out the episode to find out!

Episode 77: Maria "Pick a Song Game"
/

On this episode my guest is my second child, my oldest daughter, often imitated, never duplicated, Maria. She had been asking for weeks to actually bo on the podcast so I decided that we could play the “Pick a Song Game”. When we are in the car we like to take turns picking songs and I asked Maria what five songs she would pick when it was her turn. What songs did she pick? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Episode 76: Mikey Juba (Nervous Future, Persistent Aggressor) "Things can only get better"
/

Mikey is one of my favorite people. As bandmates in Persistent Aggressor we would often talk music before (during) and after practice at length – it was always a good time. So it only made sense to have him on! Warning. For those of you with sensitive souls that can’t handle real talk about pay-to-play veunues/shows and shitty promoters that make bands sell tickets – this episode is not for you. You can listen if you want, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

What else do we ramble on about?
Repulsion, Trap Them, Killswitch Engage and Howard Jones, Heartsounds, Carcass, Nasum, Morbid Angel, Bloodthirsty Butchers, Metallica and lots more!

Keith Freeman is truly one of the nicest dudes I’ve met in a while. The prolific and well traveled bassist chatted with me about some of his favorite music. We hit on a lot of different stuff, but all of it rules. This is another one I recorded before the unplanned hiatus, but is one of my favorite conversations to date. To quote a dude even older than me, check it out.

Who do we gush over? Infest, Out Cold, Wipers, Metallica, The Go Go’s, Camera Silens, Straight Ahead, Fucked Up and Beastie Boys.
