Bleachmouth Post Script

Elyse an I have only been pals for a short time, but I always love talking music with her. She has depth of knowledge and listens to a wide variety of music – but we love talking metal. Here’s a sample of what we ramble on about; Eyehategod, Soundgarden, Axioma, Carcass, Neil Young, Siege, Minor […]

Aaron Stefanko is the vocalist and one of the guitarists in White Lighter. Aaron and I have known each other for a while, crossing paths periodically over the years, but have hung out more frequently in recent years. I figured it was time to sit down with Aaron and record one of our conversations. We […]

I had a chance to catch up with Chad Jolly and we talked about A LOT of 90’s bands – it was interesting to see where our tastes aligned, diverged and the impact these bands had on him growing up. We ramble on about; Bad Religion, The Lemonheads, Texas is the Reason, Avail, Lifetime, Junction, […]

There’s no guest on this one – it is just me rambling a bit. A little while ago there was a HUGE gap between episodes. During that time I had played a reunion show, read some comics, novels and listened to some records. What was I reading? What was I listening to? You’ll have to […]

Max and I had been trying to pull this together for a little while now and finally…we got our shit together. I’ve been acquainted with Max since the 90’s and it was nice catching up with him. We talked about a lot of bands. All of the fast variety; Napalm Death, Infest, Brain Death, S.O.B., […]

On this episode my guest is my second child, my oldest daughter, often imitated, never duplicated, Maria. She had been asking for weeks to actually bo on the podcast so I decided that we could play the “Pick a Song Game”. When we are in the car we like to take turns picking songs and […]

Mikey is one of my favorite people. As bandmates in Persistent Aggressor we would often talk music before (during) and after practice at length – it was always a good time. So it only made sense to have him on! Warning. For those of you with sensitive souls that can’t handle real talk about pay-to-play […]

Keith Freeman is truly one of the nicest dudes I’ve met in a while. The prolific and well traveled bassist chatted with me about some of his favorite music. We hit on a lot of different stuff, but all of it rules. This is another one I recorded before the unplanned hiatus, but is one […]

And……….I'm back. It has been a minute. My apologies for the five people waiting patiently for the latest episode. Where have I been? Well, I'll get to that later. For now, enjoy the conversation I had with Zach of GRIPHOOK about his favorite Fall music!. This one was recorded a LONG time ago, but well […]

Wanna hear me mutter incessantly about hardcore-punk? You’re in luck! I discuss some bands that I might include on a mixtape or playlist I might give to someone unfamiliar with the genre. Plus, an exciting(?) announcement about an upcoming show. Here are some of the bands I ramble on about;Minor Threat, Circle Jerks, End It, […]

I’ve known Donnie Brown for quite a while now. We first met when he was the vocalist for The Brides, but I was aware of his music since his days in Hyper As Hell. The thought of playing music was inspired by my cousins Tami and Shelley, who were already playing music in bands by […]

It’s Halloween!!! Instead of talking music, I got together with Rich Miles and the boy to talk Horror Films! This one is a quick hit for the holiday. I’ll be back with more music chatter soon! Wanna holler at me?: @bleachmouth_postscript Wanna listen to me yell over loud guitars?: persistentaggressor.bandcamp.com splinter.bandcamp.com theunholythree1.bandcamp.com donaustin.bandcamp.com

Jaclyn is the founder of the Last Letter Project and Speedbump Fest. We talked about some of Jaclyn’s favorite records as well as this year’s fest which takes place October 1st at Musica in Akron. I’ve been pestering Jaclyn to take some time off from her duties as a Rock Heiress and sit down for […]

Kevin Coral is not only a member of Future Children, he also probably has recorded one or more of your favorite bands. He’s also a wealth of musical knowledge and exploitation cinema. This was a fun one! We put some love on Donna Summer, The Box Tops, Big Star, Ennio Morricone, Delia Derbyshire, Arthur Verocai, […]

I recently had the pleasure to chatting with Blaine Cook – one of the most distinct vocalists in hardcore. Whether it is with The Fartz, Toe Tag or The Accused, Blaine’s voice is unmistakable and utterly unique. The Accused played a significant part in my musical journey and I had a lot of fun talking […]

Just a quick hit between guests. Mailbag questions and a plausible soundtrack for those times when you soak your pillow with tears of heartache and pain. For small talk; Instagram – @bleachmouth_postcript Listen to me yell over loud guitars; persistentaggressor.bandcamp.com splinter.bandcamp.com theunholythree1.bandcamp.com donaustin.bandcamp.com

I’ve known Shawn for 32 years. That’s a long time. We lived together, booked shows together at the Canton Y (well, he did mostly…my band just played a lot) and saw a ton of shows together. We have been through a lot and I appreciate his friendship. I figured it was time I had him […]

Rob Pennington was the vocalist for Endpoint, By the Grace of God, Black Cross and is the current vocalist for Jupiter Hearts. I first met Rob 32 years ago at an insane Integrity/Endpoint show in Dekalb, IL. We stayed in touch and Endpoint played a legendary show in Canton, Ohio – which we discuss a […]

Liam is one half of the amazing Cinepunx! Along with his co-conspirator Josh Alvarez, Liam takes deep dives into films old and new. Knowing that Liam is an old timey hardcore punk, I thought he’d make a great guest. I touch on a very serious topic at the beginning of the episode, but this is […]

Mark Smith is the drummer for Dutch Babies and Tufted Puffins. He is also a trouble maker. I’ve known Mark for over 30 years and without his technical expertise The Post Script would not exist! This is another long, LONG delayed episode that I was more than happy to complete and I had a great […]

Roswell Kent was the junior high school that I attended from 84-86 was closed in 2017. However, they only recently began tearing it down. Here are a couple quick stories from those formative years, as well as an accompanying playlist. Click the link below to hear what my ignorant ass was raging to back then. […]

I’ve known Shaun for a minute which is why I feel so bad that it took so long to get the episode out. But, it is worth the wait! You may have heard some of the bands Shaun’s been in or seen some of his artwork on some notable records. He is also opening his […]

It has been over a month since the last episode was posted. The next interview episode should be up soon. I just wanted to catch up with everyone in the interim, but ended up rambling on a little more than I intended. Thanks for checking in, Larry

I love a good cover song. But, I often love the original more. I ramble on a bit about cover songs that I really, really love and some of their lesser known originals. Here are some of the artists I cover; Metallica, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Tom Waits, The Meters, Ray Charles, Al Green, Blondie, […]

A long overdue chat with Keeping it 99 co-host and “Pizza Party Empresario”, Erick Eagol. Whether through the podcast or booking shows, Erick has always been an enthusiastic champion of the Northeast Ohio music scene. It is ALWAYS fun talking with Erick, even if it is about our divergent opinions on the career of Max […]

In which I force my eldest child to listen to HC Punk and genre adjacent records selected by a close friends and past guests. A musical journey documented as an ongoing segment of the podcast.

This is Part 2 of my “all things Voivod” episode. I pick up after the release of The Outer Limits and track the band up to their current release, Synchro Anarchy. If you have listened to Part 1 yet – start there and finish here. There is a playlist/”Mix Tape” that accompanies this 2-Parter. I’ve […]

Anyone that has listened to this podcast more than once knows that my two favorite bands are Black Sabbath and Voivod. There are no other bands that I have lived with longer, listened to more and occupy as much space in my head and heart. Black Sabbath is greatly, if not universally loved, whereas Voivod […]

Nancy Barile has seen things. She has seen some awesome things and not so awesome things. The former has informed Nancy on how to deal with the latter and fortunately for us, she’s documented all of it in her memoir “I’m Not Holding Your Coat”. Nancy grew up a suburban, Catholic school girl that fell […]

Davin grew up in rural Maine and discovered hardcore and punk through radio shows and mix tapes. She hasn’t been the same since. Marked for Life is modelled after the great college radio shows that focused on hardcore. Davin plays the “sickest shit” and has introduced me to a couple newer bands that I might […]

Ian and I met when he was the vocalist for hardcore greats Down In Flames. He is the current vocalist for Fright – who have released their debut Lp on guitarist Nate Wilson’s Gloom Records. I had a great time catching up with Ian and I hope to possibly catch Fright live this summer. You […]

David Giffels is a buddy of mine and the author of “Furnishing Eternity”, “The Hardway on Purpose”, “Barnstorming Ohio” and others. He was played guitar and was the vocalist for The Difficult and The May Company. David and I became acquainted at The Lime Spider in the early 2000's – crossing paths infrequently thereafter. However, […]

Who doesn’t love Pizza? Erick Eagol of Keepin’ It 99 DEFINITELY loves pizza. He’s been throwing “Pizza Parties” for a couple of years now and inviting his friends to play. There’s a party this Saturday – January 22 – at Annabell’s in Akron and this one features Wallcreeper, Avowal and Radian. I thought I’d chat […]

Bleachmouth Post Script is an “interview” podcast that intended to feature folks originally from or currently residing the Akron area (though not exclusively) discussing their favorite music. Typically my guests were people that I have met over the years through my involvement in the local and national hardcore/punk music “scene”. Some of these people are […]

Hip hop was and is as important to me as any kind of music. But, I haven’t had much of a chance to really do a deep dive. After editing the most recent episode, I felt it was time I talked about some of my favorites of the genre. So I made a “mix tape” […]

Ebro Virumbrales has played drums in nearly every hardcore band since the advent of the genre. OK, maybe not, but he’s been in a ton of bands. I had wanted to sit down with Ebro for a long time, but when I finally got the chance, there we’re some glitches in the audio. So, it […]

I’m exhausted. 2022 is around the corner. Read that again. Crazy, right? The past couple of years have felt like ten and the day, weeks, months and years still seem a blur. Most “music” related media content has or will be posting a “Best of 2021”. So, I guess I should follow suit. But, I’m […]

Strong opinions give rise to strong reactions. BUT…never let it be said that I won’t give an artist a fair shake. Wanna hear me shit on some musicians, but still find a way to compliment them in a backhanded way? Well, here’s that stocking stuffer that all you folks with an axe to grind have […]

Eric Starr is the former guitarist of hardcore-punk band D.I.M and the owner of Arkham Tattoo, located in Akron. I’ve known Eric for a really, really long time now and always enjoy hanging out with him. We cover a ton of ground – partly because we don’t get to see each other much – partly […]

Is there anything better than a nasty, gut-bucket riff? Nope. If the riff can make you move, no words are needed and it can go on as needed. On this episode I ramble like a dusty old coot about my favorite instrumental tracks.

This is Part 2 of my conversation with my buddy Matt Sorg. We talk about a lot of music, but go deep on Alice Cooper and Voivod as well as Metallica, Mercyful Fate and of course KISS. It’s a fun and long conversation that was long overdue! ringworm.bandcamp.com shed-the-skin.bandcamp.com perditionsect.bandcamp.com

I have a love/hate relationship with New York Hardcore. The stuff I love – I love A LOT. The stuff I loathe… Well, let’s just focus on the stuff I love. On this mini-episode I ramble on about arguably the most widely known and influential “scene” spawned by hardcore-punk. This certainly isn’t a historical review […]

It’s an AMBUSH!!! But, it’s also Halloween so we’re talkin’ Danzig. But in the spirit of the season, TRICKS not treats, and jump scares, I’ve attacked several of my unknowing friends with a question; Of Danzig’s three biggest projects (Danzig, Samhain and Misfits), what are the 3 best songs? I ambushed Chris Wyatt (co-host Nickel […]
