I am honored to have Evan Patterson from Jaye Jayle, Young Widows, Breather Resist and so much more on the show today. Him and I go way back but it's been years since we spoke and dove right into it discussing his musical identity, living in Louisville and DIY living at all costs. He's an inspiring musician that continues to push himself with all of his work. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

We are lucky to have on Nate Garrett from Spirit Adrift today on the podcast. If you haven't heard their blend of metal heaviness, do yourself a favor and dive right in. Nate is an incredibly interesting dude and we discussed being vulnerable, the Little Rock music scene and his battle with addiction. Immediately after we started talking I felt a kinship with him and I hope you feel the same way. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

Let's do this! We have a return guest with Chadwick Johnson from Hundredth, who just released an incredible new LP called "Somewhere Nowhere."

This chat has been a long time in the making as I first fell in love with Pallbearer back in 2012 when they dropped their STAGGERING debut LP, "Sorrow and Extinction" and then followed all of their subsequent releases. I had to bring Joseph on the show because not only do I love the band, but think that more people need to pay attention to what they are doing. Joseph and I speak about his experience being raised in an alternative religion, the Little Rock scene and ambition amongst many other things. Enjoy!

This week we have photographer extraordinaire Danielle Parsons on the show. I can guarantee that you have seen her photos in the past but maybe didn't make the connection. She's incredibly prolific and has an incredible eye for capturing compelling visuals. We discussed her life in Pennsylvania, imposter syndrome and how she won a contest to have her photo published on a Jones Soda bottle at age 13. This is a REALLY good episode and appreciate Danielle for her time. Visit Rockabilia and use the code PC100WORDS for 15% off of your order.

I am extremely excited to have my friend, Tom Schlatter on the podcast today. He emailed me close to 20 years ago, and since then we have stayed in and out of touch but his bands You & I, The Assistant, This Ship Will Sink and more recently, Hundreds of AU and Every Scar Has A Story have been very important to my life. We discuss his life in bands, eclectic music tastes and of course "screamo." Dip in and enjoy! Visit Rockabilia and use the code PC100WORDS for 15% off of your order.

8 years of discussions and in my wildest dreams I never thought I'd be able to have on Steve Von Till from Neurosis but, here we are.

We discuss his profession as a teacher, preservation and unintended influence. Thank you for your years of support, I couldn't do it without you.

I have the pleasure of welcoming on an incredibly influential vocalist within our scene, Rob Fish. He sang for bands like 108, Resurrection, The Judas Factor and more recently, Every Scar Has a Story. It's a blistering EP that everyone should check out immediately. Rob has been incredibly open throughout his musical life so turning over some new leaves is what I tried to focus on and we spoke of trauma, figuring out what to do with your life and intensity.
