We had a very important guest come by the studio this week. He's opened for a ton of bands, sold 1000 copies of his record Thunder Under Pressure, and still has an undying passion for music. I'm talking of course about Justin “Hardcore Warrior” Weaver. A staple of St. Catharines and the Niagara music scene. It wasn't uncommon to see Justin up at the front of every show head banging his brains out. His one man project and since turned into a family band with his brother playing bass. Together they've formed Synergy of the Fallen and have still been playing and practicing their hearts out. Tune in as Justin and I get down to the bottom of things like Dimebag's death, his backyard wrestling career, and what it was like growing up with a family of nudists⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️WATCH HERE⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️Like and Subscribe below:Youtube.com/Bandecdotes-SUPPORT SYNERGY OF THE FALLEN HERE-BANDCAMP: https://synergyofthefallen.bandcamp.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/synergyofthefallen/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq-lVX3X7tH4SzunuXF4MQALike, Subscribe, Follow, Rate & Review

I was so happy to have Casey Baker and Mike DaSilva come by this week. They're too local legends here in Niagara. They played in Sleeper Set Sail back in the early 2000's, grew up and apart for a bit, then rekindled their friendship over music once again. Mike has been working away behind the scenes since as a producer and recording engineer. While Casey has been focusing on being a dad and raising a family until recently where he's gotten back into the music scene under his new moniker the “Neon Cowboy”. Together they've been working as The Particle Sound, a record label where they help propel talented local musicians. We had lots to chat about. Banana dogs, what it feels like to have battery acid in your eye, and playing for the ninja turtles in NYC.

Carmen North and Johnny Dee came by the Bandecdotes studio to talk some band nonsense. They play in an awesome band called Shot Down Twice. We get talking about bandmates having meltdowns on stage, what are the best cartoons of the decade, and finding out Dua Lipa is actually an artist and not a language learning app.⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️WATCH HERE⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️Like and Subscribe below:Youtube.com/BandecdotesSUPPORT THE BAND HERE:https://www.shotdowntwice.com/Like, Subscribe, Follow, Rate & Review

This week I spoke with Kirsten White. She fronts a heavy feminist based metal band from Toronto called Lilim. She's also a producer in a unique collective of producers called Makers Inc. and on top of that she goes to school for psychotherapy. Between all of that she manages to find time to craft handmade jewelry such as necklaces and earrings. She took some time out of her day and we had a fantastic conversation together about her former band, Prettyboy, her dog Jimmy, shows post covid and Lilim's shortest set ever clocked in a 12 secs.SUPPORT THE BAND:https://lilimto.bandcamp.com/Like, Subscribe, Follow, Rate & ReviewIf you're in an active band from Ontario and play metal, hardcore, screamo, punk, or alternative and want to be featured on the podcast contact me at bandecdotes@gmail.com
