In a somber yet celebratory podcast we honor the life of my father, Eric Berman, who we lost last week. Last year, I produced an interview and testimonial retrospective on my father for the Wyoming Public Radio, KUWR, for their archive purposes. Eric was part of the the radio station's inaugural year in 1966 and speaks to the launch and growth of the station, the technology of the time, and his enjoyable--and often silly--experiences on air. My family will cherish these recordings and its an honor to share them with you. In grieving, these recordings help assuage the hurt and hearing my Dad's voice brings tears of joy. I will continue to see my Dad every time I look in the mirror, you all will see him every time I do something nice. Eric Berman 1944-2022.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thebermanhour.

Mike Biancaniello was born into music production and songwriting and recently had a number one hit with christian-artist, Switch. So naturally it made sense for Mike to produce a record for a Satan-worshipping heathen like Divided Heaven. In this convo, Mike and Jeff talk Valley Village vs. Studio City, the inner workings of publishing deals with major labels, songwriting vs. producing, middle-of-the-night-Voice-Memos, and much more. Mike produced the song "About You" on the new Divided Heaven record, Oblivion.

Bradley Riot is a force: punk rock, motorcycles, fashion, art, tattoos, record production and love. Always reinventing, always driven and always real. Bradley is in the midst of recording a new album but opens up about the challenges of running a lifestyle brand, Riot Cycles, and bears his heart about his addiction and sobriety... and when we embarrassed ourselves in front of Christina Applegate.Follow @BradleyRiotFollow @RiotCyclesOrder the new Divided Heaven album, OblivionFollow @DividedHeavenListen to DividedHeavenThe Berman Hour podcast Into Oblivion Series is presented by PunkNews.org.#BradleyRiot #JeffBerman #singersongwriter #acoustic #punkrock #motorcycles #caferacers #riotcycles #losangeles #dividedheaven #podcast #interview #bermanhour #newmusic #friends #afrecords #gunnerrecordsSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/thebermanhour.

Peter Marullo is the best of us. Anyone who knows him can attest. Peter is an artist manager, the singer of Protagonist and a filmmaker. On this pod, Pete and Jeff talk Phantasm (Pete's favorite movie) as inspiration, Pete's newest venture in the Tombstone Touristique, the perfect album length, band management and the art of setting goals and expectations, and always trying to think of new ways to release records.

Jen Razavi is the lead singer of The Bombpops; the Los Angeles-based, FAT Wreck Chords band that worked their asses off the past few years to release their sophomore effort Death in Venice Beach only to have that momentum halted by the pandemic. But The Bombpops rebounded and then some. Fresh off tour with Bayside and about to embark on a tour with Dropkick Murphys, the 'pops are killing it. Jen talks about touring during covid, the stresses and rewards of doing her Patreon, living and touring in Italy with the Venetian-punk band Rumatera, sliding into The Bombpops' DM's and much more. Jen also sang on the track "Reckoning" on the new Divided Heaven record, Oblivion. Enjoy!Follow @Jen_popFollow @thebombpopsSign up for Jen's PatreonListen to "Reckoning feat.

Frank F'n Turner on the pod! In what could only be hailed as the most significant conversation to ever occur between an Englishman and an American, Jeff took this opportunity to ask Frank the important questions about... Tori Amos?!? Aaaaand, New Jersey-hardcore legends VISION, and (most importantly) why the hell Frank agreed to work on a Divided Heaven record. In all seriousness, this conversation does get quite candid about the complexities of touring during covid, the advantages (?) of recording remotely and the deeply personal issues that Frank writes about on his new album FTHC. Please enjoy this unique interview that captures Frank and Jeff in a real honest discussion; with a ton of mutual respect, a slice of humor, in uncharted topics and with a much-belated apology to Lou Koller from Sick Of It All.

Doug did all the artwork for Oblivion (and also Cold War which won Gold at the Pittsburgh Addy award for Integrated Branding) as well as album artwork for Good Charlotte, Anti-Flag, Sleeping with Sirens, Homeless Gospel Choir and more.

Brilliant, talented, and Beatles-obsessed producer Tim Van Doorn stops by the pod to talk with Jeff about recording together in Antwerp, Belgium, crushing Indian food, the significance of good studio-vibes and the often heady notion of releasing music DIY. Tim van Doorn runs Big Dog Recording Studios in Belgium (which is now located in his beautiful new home) and has produced killer records by yours truly, Joe McMahon, Tim Vantol, Mike Noegraf and many, many more.The Berman Hour podcast Into OBLivION Series is presented by PunkNews.org.Order the new Divided Heaven record, Oblivion, on Vinyl LP and CD at dividedheaven.comWatch the new lyric video for 'Monuments' by Divided Heaven feat.

Jess Guise is an incredibly talented singer-songwriter with a polite and delicate voice. But, as we learn in this conversation, Jess can really turn her voice to 11 and melt some faces as she did on the recent Divided Heaven single, 'Creep'. Hailing from the UK, Jess has an impressive acting background (including a reoccurring role on EastEnders) but has now fully channeled her energy into fronting her solo/duo/band GUISE. Jess and Jeff share some laughs about songwriting approach, creating content, posting music versus cat photos, working with Frank Turner as a producer and more. Expect a new GUISE album later in '22 and be sure to check out Jess' Patreon for music, fun and (of course) cat photos.

Mike and I once drank an entire bottle of rum on an airplane and were given the old "you need to be careful, altitude and alcohol can be a dangerous combination" followed by "gentlemen, we've turned out the cabin lights so everyone can get some rest, please stop talking". So, needless to say, Mike and I like to talk, which makes this conversation fun, funny and long overdue. Mike runs Noisy Little Critter studio in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, has recorded many of your favorite bands and worked with Jeff on many songs on Oblivion.

Randy Moore is a ripper of a guitar player. So much so, he plays in a million bands, everyone wants a piece. Randy shreds on the new Divided Heaven record's title track (though his music can be primarily heard from Get Married, The Moore Family Band and Get Married).

Hell of a bass player, hell of a guy, Lucas Rinz splits his time between Philly and Joshua Tree and played on the Divided Heaven tracks 'Burn Me' and 'They Poisoned Our Fathers'. Lucas used to roll in Low Cut Connie amongst other bands, and now does studio work and works at La Copine, the great eatery in Landers, California.

Producer/Engineer and delightful studio madman Charlie Stavish has worked with many of your favorite singer-songwriters (including yours truly). Impressive resume indeed. Charlie has his own studio in Joshua Tree, The Clock Tower Recorder, and has a wealth of experience working in digital and analog (recording to tape, bay bay!) that is always so interesting to hear about. This conversation is must-listen for studio/recording folks. Reminiscent of the conversations Jeff and Charlie would have at El Compadre in Hollywood during breaks from the studio!

Sam Johnson's ideas for a solo record were rerouted and revised due to some great production, some extra time and a willingness to take the risk. The result is Along the Dark Edges of Everything, a hauntingly great record by one of Boston's finest lyricists. As the singer for the band Choke Up, Johnson wrestled with the what, how and why for his solo debut and I think you will find Sam's answers honest and surprising.

Hello world, meet Kitner from Massachusetts, a great band that survived multiple band member romantic relationships, a five year break-up, and a pandemic only to return with one hell of a record, Shake The Spins. James and Conor from Kitner say the reason for their resilience is band chemistry, a healthy Replacements obsession and proper timing. Listen while Conor tries repeatedly and delicately to avoid the uncomfortable topic of his previous inter-band romantic relationship and Jeff just does not relent!

Lost In Society bassist, songwriter and producer Nick Ruroede is on the pod! And, AND, he loves New Jersey! Why? He doesn't really know. Hmmm. What he does know, however, is his way around a tune. Nick produced the most recent Divided Heaven release, The Filthy 15, and most importantly Lost In Society have been on an absolute tear these past few years releasing ripper after ripper. The new Lost In Society EP, Stay Jaded, is out now worldwide on Wiretap Records. Nick and Jeff go way deep into releasing music, mistakes, waiting, overthinking, over-expecting and many other trivial pitfalls that independent band people and musicians rarely ever (publicy) talk about.
