Ok...this one is a bit of a doozy.On this episode of Cut Outs, I talk with Sue and James of Julie Trend about their 1994 EP, Someone I Know, as well as the demo cassette that precluded it. This was one of the first bands I thought of when I started this podcast and, three years later, the stalking finally paid off. We talk about all the usual stuff but, honestly, we are all over the place. I guess that's what I get for having old friends on the show to talk about our passion for music.Tracks on this episode:- Velvet- Someone I Know- Let Down- TonyaYou can follow me on Instagram: @cutoutspodcastYou can support me on Patreon (it's not illegal...yet!):patreon.com/cutoutspodcastThank you to my patrons Stoney Outdoors and Peter!Send me pictures of your favorite D&D dice:[email protected] and review the podcast!This EP is available nowhere.

On this episode of Cut Outs, I talk with Steve and Bryan of the DC band, American Television. Steve actually contacted me to say he was a fan of the podcast (or was working on it), and I immediately invited them on the show. We go over the line-up changes over the years, pulling from different punk influences and, of course, politics. Because it's an election year, that's why!

Recorded an end of day chat with Brian, Jon, and Mike about today's Record Store Day. We hit Bertha's Vinyl Shop in Mt Airy, MD, then shopped at Rock & Roll Graveyard and The Record Exchange in Frederick, MD. Honestly, This episode is just us shooting the shit outside with the birds until we get interrupted by some bikers. What are you going to do?

On this episode of Cut Outs, I have a great conversation with Rocco of New Speedway about the band's 2011 debut record, Feel It.

We discuss pulling influences from 90's rock, touring Europe, and I go on and on about the hidden gems on this album.

On this episode of Cut Outs, I have a conversation with Blake and Eric of the band Green Slime, as we discuss their second album, 2019's Green Slime 2. This is my first time talking with a band who only put material out on Compact Disc, but I doubt it will be the last. We talk about those CDs a bit, as well as details on their output as a band, playing music with siblings, and how simple it is to get a fantastic guitar tone!Tracks on this episode:- Me Day- Gold Circle- TeleportYou can follow me on Instagram: @cutoutspodcastYou can support me on Patreon (or you can support the SPCA.

On this episode of Cut Outs, I dig into punk zines and lawsuits with Chepo from Austin, TX, outfit Gomez.

On this episode of Cut Outs, I dive deep into early-80's rock culture with Dean of the band Code Blue. We dig into the band's 1980 major label debut album, and go a little off script as we discuss the trials of the music scene at the time. This was a different kind of conversation, and I enjoyed talking with Dean about the first-hand views he shares about the music industry.Tracks on this episode:- Modern Times- Paint By Numbers- HurtYou can follow me on Instagram: @cutoutspodcastYou can support me on Patreon (do it for the children): patreon.com/cutoutspodcastThank you to my patrons Stoney Outdoors and Peter!Send me pictures of your synths:[email protected] and review the podcast!

On this episode of Cut Outs, I chat with Mark of The Estranged about the bands 2008 debut album, Static Thoughts. We discuss the bands history, as well was all the 80's influences needed to write great hooks in the late 2000's. This may be the best post-punk album that didn't exist when I was getting into post-punk.Tracks on this episode:- Don't They Know- Nervous Blood- The MessageYou can follow me on Instagram: @cutoutspodcastYou can support me on Patreon (it's a fraction of what you would pay for the latest Taylor Swift record): patreon.com/cutoutspodcastThank you to my patrons Stoney Outdoors and Peter!Send me pictures of your cute dog:[email protected] and review the podcast!This album really was a no brainer for me to talk about.

On this episode of Cut Outs, Brendan, Brian, and I present you with another fantastic episode of Waxing Poetic. We discuss Static Radio's 12" EP, 2017's Resentiments. This is the episode where Brian's mic stops working, and it keeps cutting out, and I try and edit it like I don' t think my listeners will notice, and you notice anyway.
