On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Barns Courtney for a wide-ranging conversation about performance, songwriting, musicianship, ambition, and the strange balance between control and chaos.Barns talks about the solo acoustic shows he has been playing and how stripping away the band has changed his relationship with an audience. Without a fixed stage plan, every night becomes more unpredictable, more conversational, and more dependent on what is happening in the room. We discuss why great performances need an element of risk and how those shows have reminded him not to let ambition overshadow gratitude.We also talk about his ongoing work as a singer and the discipline required to maintain an instrument that is constantly changing. Barns reflects on vocal lessons, life on the road, the financial realities of touring, and the challenge of building a sustainable career without losing the joy that made him want to perform in the first place. Barns also takes us inside the making of his new album with producer and multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Wilson. He describes being challenged to improve as a musician, learning when to loosen his grip on an arrangement, and discovering how a fresh perspective can reveal what a song actually needs.Our conversation moves through meditation, neurodivergence, social media, aging, creative discipline, and the story behind “Glitter & Gold,” which was recorded with one microphone, an out-of-tune piano, filing cabinets, and whatever sounds were available in the room. Throughout it all, Barns returns to one idea: the real purpose of performing is not to prove how impressive you are, but to connect with people and bring them some measure of joy.Key TakeawaysBarns continues to take vocal lessons and views singing as an instrument that must be constantly relearned as the body changes.His acoustic shows have created more space for improvisation, audience interaction, humor, and genuine unpredictability.He believes a performance can become too controlled, and that risk is often necessary for a show to feel transcendent.Working with Jonathan Wilson challenged Barns to become more proficient as an instrumentalist and more open to outside ideas.Barns now approaches songwriting with greater discipline, comparing the process to fishing: showing up regularly without knowing what will surface.The live album captured the sound of a band that had developed trust, instinct, and a shared musical language through touring together.Barns has come to see performance less as a display of ambition and more as an opportunity to connect with people and bring them joy.Music from the EpisodeFun Never Ends - Barns Courtney99 - Barns CourtneyGlitter & Gold - Barns CourtneyAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a music interview podcast hosted by Brad Williams.

On this week's show, we spend quality time with new records from Jack White, The Rolling Stones, Brother Wallace & Jalen Ngonda.All this & much, much less!Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is a curated collection of musical eclectica & other noodle stories. The show started in 2003 at WHFR-FM (Dearborn, MI), moved to WGWG-FM (Boiling Springs, NC) in 2006 & Plaza Midwood Community Radio (Charlotte, NC) in 2012, with a brief pit-stop at WLFM-FM (Appleton, WI) in 2004.
If you like your heavy music served with a side of absolute, unadulterated chaos, then grab a cold beer and brace yourself. Gold Coast alternative metal titans Sunk Loto are officially heading back out on the road this August for their highly anticipated Dead Shadows Tour. Trust me when I say this is shaping up to be one of the absolute heaviest and most intense runs of the year.For those who need a quick history lesson, Sunk Loto dominated the Australian heavy music landscape in the late '90s and early 2000s, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with international giants like Korn and Deftones. Their seminal 2003 masterpiece, Between Birth and Death, became a gold-standard textbook for Aussie metalcore. Then, they abruptly vanished into the ether for fifteen years.When they burst back onto the live circuit in 2022, they didn't just play shows; they absolutely decimated venues across the country to a multi-generational, bloodthirsty crowd. Last year, they threw even more fuel on the fire by welcoming guitar wizard Rohan Stevenson (from I Built The Sky) into the fold, instantly locking in an explosive new creative energy.Now, the boys are back to unleash their brand new single, Dead Shadows, tracked alongside the legendary producer Forrester Savell. To celebrate, they are completely ditching the sterile festival barriers and massive production rigs. Instead, they are opting for the sweaty, high-octane violence of intimate, grassroots rooms.This brief, relentless East Coast trek will see the band tear through the Coolongatta Hotel on August 7 before two shows at Brisbane's Crowbar on August 8 and 11, Sydney's Crowbar on August 13, and finish by ripping the roof off Melbourne's legendary Corner Hotel on August 14. Tickets are already flying out the door, and if you know anything about a Sunk Loto mosh pit, you know the band actively instigates absolute madness from the barrier to the back wall. Fans can expect a massive, curated setlist packed with deep cuts that haven't seen the light of day in decades, mixed with the crushing weight of their new material.HEAVY sat down with Stevenson to chew the fat over the creation of Dead Shadows, navigating their brutal new lineup dynamics, and exactly what kind of beautiful insanity they plan to bring to Australian stages next month.Tickets https://teamwrktouring.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
Der Song der US-amerikanischen Band „Smashing Pumpkins“, was so viel wie zerschmetternde Kürbisse heißt, erschien im Jahr 1995 auf dem Album „Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness“. Sänger Billy Corgan verarbeitet in der Grammy-prämierten Hymne des Alternative Rock die Fremdbestimmg im Musikbusiness. Mit der prägenden Textzeile über das Dasein als „Ratte im Käfig“ fängt der Song das Gefühl einer ganzen Generation ein und ist ein zeitloser Meilenstein der 90er-Jahre.

What happens when haunting poetry, cinematic storytelling, and thunderous rock collide? This episode of Vigilantes Radio Live welcomes Voltaire's Ghost—Ruby Juhl, Josh Eggstaff, and Magnus—for a conversation that ventures far beyond the music. The band discusses the creative journey behind their latest single, “Black Petals Fallen,” from transforming an old poem into a fully realized song to building a collaborative environment where every voice shapes the final product. They also explore the influence of horror films, the beauty found in melancholy, the challenge of trusting the creative process, and why some of the most meaningful songs emerge when inspiration arrives unexpectedly. Plus, the trio shares what's ahead as they prepare for major festival performances, upcoming vinyl releases, and an ever-growing catalog of music that continues to push the boundaries of cinematic rock.https://www.voltairesghost.com/https://music.apple.com/us/artist/voltaires-ghost/1687826381https://open.spotify.com/artist/4qh2ndBmksowS2QsZW8Iw3https://www.youtube.com/@voltairesghostbandhttps://www.instagram.com/voltairesghostbandhttps://www.tiktok.com/@voltaires.ghostBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/vigilantes-radio-live--2166168/support.Vigilantes Radio Live! by The Only One Media Group ℗©2025Episode Credits:Produced, edited, mixed, and written by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Artwork designed by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Show Introduction by KateSegment jingles composed & produced by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Additional music licensed through 7th Sign RecordingsLinks:onlyonemediagroup.comhttps://www.instagram.com/vigilantesradio/https://www.iheart.com/podcast/966-vigilantes-radio-live-29999229/https://www.instagram.com/whodiniblakin3d/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26009230/To support our show, please leave reviews, ratings, or you can help fuel the passion over at buymeacoffee.com/vigilantesradioEmail us at onlyonemgt@gmail.com or vradio@onlyonemediagroup.com

"Why do you keep going to the well hoping that you're going to find MCR-flavored water there? There's nothing there, man. MCR is not going to create anything they don't have to." Brian and Lizzie tackle the chaotic realities of the summer touring season. The conversation kicks off with a roasting of the intense heat waves plaguing European festivals, which quickly segues into a deep dive on the viral Pinkpop Festival drama. The hosts dissect the hilarious clash between fans of pop princess Zara Larsson and the heavy-hitting German metalcore outfit Electric Callboy and the bizarrely foul hygiene habits of some modern festival-goers. Switching gears from live show chaos to recorded music, the duo breaks down the internet's collective, desperate hope for a fifth My Chemical Romance album. Evaluating the band's recent move to reopen their classic forums, Lizzie shares the community's frustration with cash-grabs, while Brian drops a harsh truth bomb: with four legendary albums already carrying their legacy, MCR has absolutely no obligation to release new music. To wrap up the episode, the hosts take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to critique the legacy of Pop Goes Punk style tracks, weighing whether modern TikTok covers hold a candle to the scene-defining execution of classic alternative covers.

Rooted in the spirit of classic rock but shaped with a modern edge, Close Enemies creates songs that hit with power while still leaving room for mood, depth, and emotional weight. http://www.makingascene.org

Existiert ein Song eigentlich noch, wenn ihn niemand mehr hören kann?Mit genau dieser Frage beginnt eine der überraschend philosophischsten TuneFish-Folgen der letzten Zeit – und bevor wir überhaupt bei Abramowicz angekommen sind, landen wir zusammen mit unserem Gast Sören Warkentin, dem Sänger der Band ABRAMOWICZ, bereits bei Jürgen Habermas, Kirk Hammett, verlorenen Songideen, KI-gestützten Kompositionshilfen und der Frage, wo Musik eigentlich entsteht: auf Festplatten, in Notizbüchern oder vielleicht doch zuerst im Kopf.Dann sprechen wir intensiv über ABRAMOWICZ.Gemeinsam mit Sören tauchen wir tief ein in die Geschichte einer Hamburger Band, die sich weniger wie ein Karriereplan und mehr wie eine Aneinanderreihung glücklicher Zufälle anhört.Da wird ein Bruder zum Schlagzeuger, obwohl er noch gar nicht Schlagzeug spielen kann. Bandmitglieder werden in Kneipen, Clubs und WG-Küchen entdeckt. Ein Bandname wird von Freunden ausgeliehen und nie wieder zurückgegeben. Und aus Garage-Punk entsteht über viele Jahre hinweg eine Band, die heute irgendwo zwischen Heartland Rock, Punkrock, Americana, großen Melodien und ganz viel eigener Handschrift angekommen ist.Wir sprechen über die Entstehung des neuen Albums Joy Of Missing Out, über sieben Jahre zwischen zwei Veröffentlichungen, über selbstgebaute Studios im Bunker, demokratische Bandprozesse mit sechs Musikern und einem Produzenten, über das kreative Chaos von sieben Meinungen gleichzeitig und über die Freiheit, Songs so lange wachsen zu lassen, bis sie wirklich fertig sind.Natürlich geht es auch um Instrumente. Um Saxophone. Um Orgeln. Um die Frage, ob ein einzelnes Instrument die Seele eines Songs verändern kann. Um Live-Versionen, Studioversionen und darüber, warum manche Songs auf der Bühne plötzlich wieder völlig neue Wesen werden.Außerdem reden wir über Bruce Springsteen, The Gaslight Anthem, Heartland Rock, die Hamburger Musikszene, kreative Weiterentwicklung, Krieg, Zukunftsängste, die Freude am Verpassen, die Angst etwas zu verpassen und darüber, warum „Joy Of Missing Out“ vielleicht viel mehr ist als nur ein Albumtitel.Und als wäre das nicht schon genug Musiknerd-Material, werfen wir zwischendurch auch noch einen Blick auf unsere aktuellen Hausaufgaben-Alben von ECCA VANDAL und THE PRESTIGE und stellen fest, dass erstaunlich viele Bands gerade nach sieben, acht, neun oder sogar elf Jahren Pause mit neuer Musik zurückkehren.Eine Folge über Abramowicz.Eine Folge über Musik und über Freundschaft, Ideen, Zeit, Veränderung und die seltsame Tatsache, dass manche Songs vielleicht selbst dann noch existieren, wenn längst niemand mehr auf Play drücken kann.Viel Spaß mit Abramowicz......RUBRIK: Die HausaufgabeLars und Markus schlagen sich gegenseitig ein Album vor, das dann subjektiv auseinandergenommen wird.Wir vergeben Punkte zwischen 1 (mies) und 10 (genial).

Wie entsteht heute ein moderner Alternative-Rock-Song – wenn eine Band nahezu alles selbst übernimmt?In der neuen Studiosofa-Folge sind Dunja & Marc Buhr zu Gast. Gemeinsam sprechen wir über ihren Weg vom Bedroom-Pop-Projekt zur Alternative-Rock-Band LYNNE und zeigen den kompletten Entstehungsprozess ihrer Musik – von der ersten Songidee über Recording, Mixing und Mastering bis hin zu Artwork, Marketing und Release.Besonders spannend: Wir öffnen die DAW und gehen gemeinsam durch zwei ihrer Songs. Ihr hört, wie sich „Every Summer“ entwickelt hat – ursprünglich mit einem Chorus, der heute als Verse dient – und erfahrt, welche kreativen Entscheidungen den Song zu seiner finalen Version gemacht haben.Außerdem gibt es eine exklusive Hörprobe von „UTOPIA“ – der neuen Single, die erst einen Tag später, am Freitag, veröffentlicht wird. Noch vor dem offiziellen Release sprechen wir über die Entstehung des Songs und hören gemeinsam in die Produktion hinein.Freut euch auf eine Folge voller Einblicke in modernes DIY-Producing, Songwriting, Recording, Mixing und Selbstvermarktung – und darauf, wie aus einer ersten Idee ein veröffentlichter Alternative-Rock-Song wird.Gear Corner: Rupert Neve Designs OptoFET: https://tidd.ly/3QH9OSRUniversal Audio OX Amp Top Box Gitarrenbox: https://tidd.ly/4vxPToNMicrotech Gefell M 930: https://tidd.ly/4eNyjpFAudio-Technica AT4033a: https://tidd.ly/4fZYKuuAudio-Technica AT4040: https://tidd.ly/4oMwDBfUniversal Audio Apollo x8 Gen2: https://tidd.ly/4esfFomKemper Profiler PowerHead: https://tidd.ly/4uWOSW2Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 112 Cabinet LTW Laquered Tweed: https://tidd.ly/4agLEp1Fame URM-1000 Modeling Multi Effect: https://tidd.ly/4oIy3MYSound&Recording-Magazin | Studiosofa PodcastWebsite: soundandrecording-magazin.deWebinare: soundandrecording-magazin.de/webinareCoachings: soundandrecording-magazin.de/coachingsWhatsApp-Gruppe: soundandrecording-magazin.de/whatsappInstagram: @soundandrecording.magazinYouTube: @StudiosofaPodcastTikTok: @soundandrecording.mag
What happens when conspiracy theories stop being fringe entertainment and start influencing the way people understand the world?In Episode 53 of B-Side Breakdown, Shayne Miel of Overton breaks down "High On Faith," a darkly humorous and surprisingly thoughtful song inspired by misinformation, conspiracy culture, and humanity's need to explain the unknown. What began with a single lyric evolved into a broader exploration of belief, uncertainty, and the stories people create to make sense of a complicated world.During our conversation, Shayne discusses the challenge of writing about conspiracy theories without turning the song into a lecture, the personal experiences that inspired the lyrics, and the strange moment we're living through where truth, opinion, and entertainment increasingly overlap. We talk about everything from ancient mythology to modern media, the role attention plays in shaping public discourse, and why people often gravitate toward simple explanations when reality is It's a conversation about a song, but it's also a conversation about belief itself—how we form it, why we cling to it, and what happens when the search for certainty becomes more powerful than the pursuit of truth.Follow Overton:https://overtonnc.bandcamp.comhttps://www.instagram.com/overton.ncThanks for supporting B-Side Breakdown — where the song is just the start of the story.Brett JohnsonHost, B-Side Breakdownhttps://www.bsidebreakdown.com#BSideBreakdown #Overton #HighOnFaith #ShayneMiel #IndependentMusic #MusicPodcast #Songwriting #PunkRock #AlternativeRock #IndieMusic

Thirty years after Sublime's self-titled album became one of the most influential records of the 1990s, the band's story continues with a new generation at the helm. On this episode of Caught on the Mike, Mike sits down with Jakob Nowell for an honest conversation about family, legacy, music, and the unique experience of carrying one of rock's most recognizable names while forging his own artistic path. Jakob reflects on growing up surrounded by the legacy of his father, Bradley Nowell, his journey as a musician outside of Sublime, and the unexpected road that led him to joining Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh in writing the next chapter of the band. The conversation explores the emotional process behind Sublime's first new album in nearly three decades, Until the Sun Explodes, and what it means to honor the past while creating something entirely new. The two also discuss the power of music to connect generations—a theme that resonates deeply as fans who grew up with Sublime now share those same songs with their children. From stories about Bradley's lasting influence to the future of Sublime, this is a thoughtful and personal conversation about music, family, grief, growth, and the enduring impact of songs that continue to bring people together. #CaughtOnTheMike #Sublime #JakobNowell #AlternativeRock #PunkRock #SkaPunk #Podcast

For more than 20 years, Mayday Parade has been one of the defining bands of the pop-punk and emo scene. From packed clubs and Warped Tour parking lots to sold-out venues around the world, they've built a career that has stood the test of time while continuing to connect with new generations of fans.

In this episode of Seeing Them Live, Charles sits down with Ben Daughtry and Jonathan Palmer of Love Jones — the Louisville-born, LA-based band that has been crafting their unique blend of lounge, soul, pop, and sharp-witted storytelling for over three decades. The conversation kicks off with a shared love of live music, as both Ben and Jonathan trace their concert-going roots back to the same unlikely starting point: Van Halen. Ben recalls sneaking into a show at 14, way too young to be there, watching a then-unknown Van Halen open for Black Sabbath and feeling like "a bomb going off." Jonathan recounts his own Van Halen baptism at Freedom Hall in Louisville on the Women and Children First Invasion Tour — complete with $7.50 festival seating and his mother taking notes in the stands. From there, the episode becomes a wide-ranging tour through decades of live music obsession. The guys swap stories about Ted Nugent crowd surges, jumping on stage with GWAR in New Orleans, playing congas with Tool at an early Lollapalooza, and watching Rage Against the Machine move 60,000 people. Jonathan shares privileged industry moments — seeing The Rolling Stones at a 600-capacity room in New York alongside Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, and Questlove, and catching Nine-Inch Nails at The Troubadour when they felt "too big for the building." The conversation is fueled by genuine enthusiasm, with each story triggering another in a kind of joyful avalanche of rock and roll memory. The second half of the episode turns to the band's own story — from their residency at Largo on Fairfax, where David Bowie once sat quietly in a booth and Tool's crew became regulars, to their unexpected appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut album Here's to the Losers. Charles and the guys dig into the Cocktail Nation moment of the '90s, the making of their new album The Greatest Show on Earth — written during COVID jam sessions in a Louisville warehouse with crickets chirping and trains passing — and the cinematic, Gil Evans-influenced sound that ties its six expansive tracks together. The episode closes with the band expressing hope to get back on the road, a shout-out to their partnership with Whiskey Thief Distillery, and a tease of possible activity around the 30th anniversary of the film Swingers, on whose soundtrack Love Jones famously appeared. BANDS: Adele, B-52s, Beastie Boys, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Black Sabbath, Chicago, Combustible Edison, Devo, Earth Wind & Fire, Fishbone, Foo Fighters, GWAR, James Brown, Led Zeppelin, Love Jones, Metallica, Metric, Molly Hatchet, Morphine, Nine Inch Nails, Oasis, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rolling Stones, Sea and Cake, Steely Dan, Supertramp, Ted Nugent, The Cars, The Cocktails, Tool, Tortoise, Van Halen, ZZ Top.

From sharing stages with The Rolling Stones, Muse, and The Cult to landing music across UFC, WWE, blockbuster films, and major video game franchises, Des Rocs has quietly built one of the most compelling stories in modern rock. But behind the explosive live performances, leather-clad swagger, and cinematic sound is a journey marked by setbacks, uncertainty, industry struggles, and a serious health scare that nearly changed everything. In this episode, Des Rocs opens up about the making of the upcoming album To Hell And Back and the years of pressure, frustration, and personal growth that shaped it. The conversation dives into recording the album live to capture its raw intensity, battling through a painful spinal condition during the process, and searching for something timeless in an era where authenticity can feel increasingly rare. We also discuss the changing landscape of rock music, building a loyal audience from the ground up, the impact of hearing his music featured by UFC and WWE, collaborating with Zayn, and why the spirit of rock ‘n' roll still matters now more than ever. At its core, this is a conversation about creative obsession, survival, and continuing to push forward when the odds say otherwise.
Danny has a theory. Was 1991 actually the greatest year in music history? Mike's not convinced. So the two pseudo-scientists did what any reasonable person would do: built a scoring system, applied it to the evidence, and let the results speak for themselves. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers. 1991 had everything. But does having everything actually make it the best? It's closer than you'd think.Send us Fan MailSupport the show
In this episode, Charles interviews filmmaker and vinyl enthusiast Steve Herold, best known for the award-winning short film Death of an Umbrella Salesman. Steve takes us back to the summer of 1984 and his first concert — the Thompson Twins on their Into the Gap tour at the Garden State Arts Center in New Jersey. He shares how the show almost didn't happen, thanks to a failed attempt to see Van Halen at Madison Square Garden, and how that near-miss planted the seed for a lifetime of concert-going. The real coming-of-age concert moment, Steve admits, came two years later when he finally saw David Lee Roth on his debut solo tour — a far wilder introduction to arena rock than the Thompson Twins had provided. Steve opens up about his most memorable concert experiences, including his best-ever shows: the New Jersey alternative band Dramarama at the legendary Fast Lane in Asbury Park in the early '90s. Those packed, sweat-soaked club nights — where getting to the bathroom was nearly impossible and crowd surfing was mandatory — turned Steve into a devoted fan and shaped his love of small-venue rock. He also recounts the 1996 Sex Pistols reunion at New York's Roseland Ballroom, an evening of full-on debauchery that ended with him and a friend finding a $50 bill on the floor — money that had fallen from the pockets of crowd surfers — and heading out to continue the night on someone else's dime. The image of punk-show attendees pouring out of Roseland and colliding with Broadway theatergoers on the sidewalk is one of the episode's most vivid moments. Beyond concerts, the conversation dives into Steve's YouTube channel, where he has spent years showcasing his vinyl and CD collection and visiting independent record stores during his travels for TV production work. He reflects on how the channel introduced him to a whole new community of fellow collectors — friendships that have taken him to record stores in Reno, Southern California, Long Island, and Charleston, South Carolina. Steve also discusses his filmmaking work, including the upcoming documentary about a former Hot Tuna drummer who is also a visual artist, and two music videos he directed for his friend's garage rock band Manflesh, one of which is set to screen at the Coney Island Film Festival. The episode wraps with a shared appreciation for the Wet Leg concert both Charles and Steve attended in 2025, and a laugh-out-loud detour into the chaotic legacy of G.G. Allin. BANDS: Agent Orange, David Lee Roth, Dramarama, Eagles, G.G. Allin & the Murder Junkies, Goldfinger, Hot Tuna, Jeff the Brotherhood, L7, Lady Gaga, Manflesh, Ram Jam, Sex Pistols, The Strokes, Thompson Twins, Van Halen, Wet Leg, Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Mike Doughty is many things; a solo artist, founding bandmember of Soul Coughing and Ghost of Vroom, and a published writer – who not only wrote two memoirs but also an oratorio based on the biblical Book of Revelation that was staged at WNYC's Greene Space. Simply put, Doughty has built a long-lasting career since his days of working as a doorman at the New York club, The Knitting Factory. On his way up, he embraced all aspects of the art of writing good songs, from welcoming “cowboy chords” when they come, to opening his mind up to the universe of avant-garde jazz – or even German grammar-inspired lyrics. Today, he is a storyteller who is honest with himself and transparent with his audience, composing and sharing new songs weekly with his patrons on Patreon while continuing to pour his heart out on the road, as he's about to do so on his Solo Tour '26, playing all over the United States. In the early days of this new adventure, Doughty joins our host, John Schaefer, with his collaborator, Andrew “Scrap” Livingston, for an intimate live performance and a warm chat for this edition of Soundcheck.
