SOL Podcast

Hi! We're Dave & Kevin. This is our new podcast. Before we post our first episode, we figure we'd introduce ourselves. Basically, we're friends from the Chicago music scene. Kevin sings in Guardrail, & Dave sings in Summer Curse. We're very like-minded dudes who are into a lot of the same bands, comedians, movies, shows, & more. So we're gonna talk about all that each episode. Sometimes we'll have a guest, how neat! Episode 1 coming very soon.Party on.           

We recorded this episode a month ago and forgot about it, oopsie. We tell some edible stories, explain why this was Alyssa's "Year Of The Burp", and discuss some highlights of 2022. Complete with plenty of tangents on the way.

It's been a minute! Michelle Balzer & Kaitlyn Johnston of Out Of Context came by to chat about how they got into booking shows, as well as how things are going due to the pandy. Jake Ciccotelli from Overgrow came along with them and chimed in a bit about his music. This was recorded at the end of August, but it took forevz to edit because the cicadas were wild outside while recording which made editing a bitch, we were hella busy with the record release shortly after, I got a puppy (@gnarlytheween), and I got a new job. Busy-ass few months, hope it sounds listenable!

I’m sick, fuck you. Today on the show I had Scott Kelly of Still World over for Jameson shots. He talks about growing up in Ireland, getting started playing music, our favorite supergroups, and how he looks like a young Sam Carter. I also spin TanZen’s new track at the top of the episode after giving a little Riot Fest recap.   I also got word that my dude Chris Johnson passed away today. He was a ray of sunshine that will definitely be missed in our scene. I end the episode with an instrumental demo from his band Parallels and Lies. Rest in peace buddy, much love

Come along with us on a journey that includes haunted houses, political debates with family members on Facebook, Cheesie’s, Paul Konerko, getting fucked up at grocery stores, and so much more. Probably too much more to be honest.   Here’s that wild video Chris blessed me with: https://www.facebook.com/100001640379812/posts/1978409005557093/     Guarden Fresh Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/user/guardrailchicago/playlist/2FEg1mvEV1c6UdwgDqfkqM?si=pOVKU-LlSUeXv2AjSJYg3w   Sponsor: DicksByMail.com     Music: “Blue and the Grey” by Parkway Drive “Pipe Dreams” by MxPx   Theme: "Dreamwalker" by Speaking With Ghosts Closing theme: "I Got Another Girl Pregnant" by Guardrail   www.facebook.com/Erabellaband www.facebook.com/parkwaydrive www.facebook.com/MxPxPx   www.facebook.com/StandingOutLoud www.facebook.com/SpeakingWithGhosts www.facebook.com/GuardrailChicago
