A 5th Fugazi member? Fugazi is known for it’s core: Ian, Guy, Brendan & Joe but after so many years of playing the same songs it was decided that they needed a change. How to do that? Add another drummer. And what better person than the guy who has supported the band all these years. Jerry was a part of Fugazi’s works, “The Argument & Furniture”. Learn more with this hour long episode.

Two total different aspects of music, old school punk & covers, that might be more similar than you think. This was an intimidating interview, much like how Spike & The Gimme Gimme’s audience feels prior to them taking as the stage as they know they are going to be blessed with music that could actually cure them of illness. The roots of this band are unquestionable, make sure to tune in to learn about the maestro’s themselves & what to expect in the future. In this episode we split into two parts.. Part 1 highlights/ focuses on CJ’s time as a Ramone, his gateway to joining the band, how the Ramones legacy continues & more.

Tune in for the first ever in person interview, of the main series, at the beautiful True Hand with Mike & Chris of Brother’s Keeper. When I first started to get more invovled in the local scene I was trying to branch out to local events, I stumbled upon an event at Mike’s shop (True Hand) and by the end found out he was actually a vocalist of a band I should listen to. On the car ride home I remember hearing the opening to “The Continuum” and was instantly hooked. Since then I’ve been bugging Mike about talking on the pod and who would of known after a year of being persistent I single handedly brought back Brother’s Keeper (maybe not true). And here we are today… In this episode with talk about: building your local scene, reforming the band, what it feels like to record after all these year, how hardcore has changed, their new projects including “You Can’t Kill Me” album as well as their single “Asymmetrical Warflair” featuring Pat of Drug Church & more!

Jake Luhrs may be one of the nicest people in the metal scene that I've had the pleasure to talk with on the show. Jake's story isn't the classic: started a band in high school, local show(s), small friend label etc. it's about taking chances on yourself, putting everything you have into something you love and letting passion win over predictability. It's amazing what he and August Burns Red have achieved over the years, and I look forward to seeing it continue.

Pleasure talking to Public Opinion frontman, Kevin Hart, before their new album drops. When you see someone this into their band you know every single song, show, piece of merch is 100% and with intent. Kevin has an immense love for PO and the scene. This interview to describe was witty, fun, thoughtful and I even tease a new segment of @onthescenewithmartini . This is one of my funniest interviews I’d say, it’s always refreshing to share mutual opinions with others in the scene. Is 3eb cool to like?, how playing Fortnite with Justice, Dubin, the Drug Church boys landed their management, as well soccer opinions! If you like the sound of that then this is the interview for you. “The Curse of Public Opinion” out August 7th on your streaming platform of choice!

This week I was able to sit down with Thrice frontman, Dustin Kensrue. One of the first bands I got into when I started collecting records, I was always drawn to their sound. Post Hardcore being so prominent in my rotation something about Thrice’s approach always wooed me!

So happy we were able to talk about that as well album creating, working with friends and maybe even some Star Wars opinions?? Thank you Big Eleanor Records for sponsoring this episode.
