Advertise on podcast: HITMAKERS

Or: "Why I Quit Podcasting?"

We're back! Gig report! Hanging out with friends! And more!

This week - we catch up with old friends, check out some live music (Propagandhi!!), explore strategies for time management and check in with our progress on recording, live performance and more.

In which we HIT THE ROAD!  We PRACTICE! We BUSK! We PLAY 2 SHOWS! We TALK ABOUT GEAR! As Tim Armstrong once said, "LET'S GO!"

EXCLUSIVE! UNRELEASED! ALL CAPS! This week's video didn't really make sense as a podcast, so instead here's a bit that got cut. It was too long (10 mins) to sift through and edit, but we believe it makes sense here. Hop in and let's get to the gig!

IDK man, this one feels like a mess. In which we take a look at our efforts and ask "is it enough?" Oh, and- we organize our merch!

September = fall. Are you ready?

Checking out venues for street performance; musings on "entertainment" gigs (vs "art"), social media strategy (yay) and the ECMA.

The world is a lot. The digital world especially. So I'm not gonna do that to you. If you want to know what's been happening (and didn't catch my one-man-band "Beauty and the Beast" drop on Instagram), you can catch up here.

This week, we take a look at what we've been avoiding, go to a music festival, go to the beach, and get a surprise visitor: Sir Anthony Hopkins.

This week, we are SPELLING IT OUT The challenges are LEGION And we are BUT ONE fortunately, DEATH ALONE MAY STOP US ☠️

Sickness, stress, poor planning and psychedelia. All in a week's work.

Well, hello there! It's been a while. How are you? This is the audio from the intro episode of your humble host's new YouTube series "WHY DON'T YOU GET A REAL JOB?" In which we explore the reality of actually making a living as an independent musician on Canada's East Coast. Ryan is giving himself one year to figure it out or.... get a real job. Tune in every Tuesday to see how it's going!

OK, not really a holiday episode, but Dan's new book makes a great "holiday gift." As for the interview, it's real and it's spectacular. DAN OZZI is a New York-raised, LA-based writer. He's got a new book called "Sellout: The Major-Label Feeding Frenzy That Swept Punk, Emo, and Hardcore (1994–2007)". He's written for outlets you've read and interviewed bands you know (Blink 182, anyone?). We talk about his own evolution, cultural trends, and of course, what it means to sell out.

We're (momentarily) back baby!! On this EXTRA SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE, your regular HOST is the GUEST!! From March, in his other guise as SUNNYSIDE UPPERS on "I Like Your Style", a podcast hosted by Elder Brycen of the GOLDEN PLATES, a band out of San Diego USA. We're releasing it on the eve of the new Uppers single "MARY" (streaming everywhere Fri 13th!!) Topics include the death of rock'n'roll, other people's opinions, happiness, Bob Dylan, Anne of Green Gables, altered-state adventures and much more!!!
