I caught up with Becky & Maya at Club Saw this past Saturday night.  Based on our conversation in this podcast, I decided to put together a quick PACK "best of" playlist.  Very quickly it got up to 28 songshttps://spoti.fi/3xnCm80Honestly, listen to the playlist and try to figure out why these songs (especially from Unpersons through It Was Fun While It Lasted) aren't all over Canadian Rock & Alternative Radio????  Thanks for listening & supporting  Much Love  Darryl Spring

DTTB Ep.66 - George StroumboulopoulosPunk Rock & PoliticsOne of the people I wanted to interview while planning this podcast series, without question was Strombo. This is another episode where I get to interview a remarkable interviewer. Like Alan Cross Official, or CFNY founder David Marsden. All of whom, shared some amazing stories in this series.George and I talked about 102.1 The Edge in this episode. He was colleagues with some of my mentors there, including the late Martin Streek Tribute. In fact the last time I saw George in person was at the Opera House for a celebration in honour of Martin.We also discussed the Danko Jones / Monster Truck issue, which I weighed in on, based on an episode done with Jon Harvey. This led in to an important chat about where we are in North American in 2022. Which only left me thinking, are politics in George's future? In an official capacity?With George out on the West Coast, I thought we were talking at 6pm PT, so I didn't even write out questions or set up the light I usually use for video podcasts. But with George, I'm kind of glad we just hit record and go.

The Glorious Sons have established themselves as a force in Canadian Rock n' Roll. As someone who got to see them in the early days in Kingston, their success isn't a surprise.  They're back with new music and have been producing it themselves during lockdown.    The best part is that they've achieved everything as an independent band on their own terms.

Demetrius Nath is the singer of the Mississauga pop punk band Maybe May  He also has a day job in the industry and is an all around good guy.Maybe May recently release a video for their new single "Survive, Satellite". The song and video is getting some attention across the country.  This is a timely song that captures a feeling that I think most of us share right now.  And it rocks! 

Deadset Society went platinum, then went on hiatus. In the downtime, the remaining members formed the band Tense Machine.Meanwhile, Deadset frontman Reid David Henry has released some solo material, I got to catch up with him to talk about that, being a Dad and the stress of being a Leaf fan

New Episode, with old friends. The Damn Truth ARE Rock n' Roll. Their live show is captivating and their new record is OUT NOW.I got to chat with them just ahead of the release of "Now or Nowhere" 

The Beaches are back with a new EP called Future Lovers.  I got to talk to them about the new music, their love of doing press and is everything alright with Canada's rock power couple?

Ken Tizzard was a memeber of The Watchmen and Thornley. His latest project is a collaborative album of covers that covers a wide spectrm of music.He also shares some personal stories about how he went in to lockdown about a year befre the rest of us did.

Return appearance from Complicit.  This time to tackle an Ariana Grande song.  Don't judge, LISTEN!  Tell me you don't like it PS - Their name is Alanna Sterling

Dylan Hennessy makes a return appearance with a new Mobius Radio single "The Jake Revival".  We eventually get to the music, but we unexpectedly geeked out on skateboarding and it's similarities to music

It's fun when podcasts are also opportunities to catch up with old friends, and meet new ones! I'm super excited about their new music. About a year and a half ago, I made an introduction that's turned into a collaboration that will be on their forthcoming record

Darryl Spring is passionate about rock radio. Although it started out with an attraction for what was coming out of the club shows of then CFNY-FM 102, Darryl knew radio was his future. From Loyalist College, to Q92 in Timmins, to Corus Radio in Toronto and Hamilton. His next two stops included Kingston and Ottawa, where there was great success, and some unfortunately timed circumstances.In this episode you will hear about all the fun that went on at these stations. And just like our episode with Bob Willette, Darryl was also told that the golden era of Edge 102 was before he arrived. You will also hear us reminisce about the late Martin Streek and Bobby Gale; both huge music fans. Darryl is now hosting the hit podcast "Darryl Talks To Bands" which is on all your favourite audio distribution centres.There's also more on the episode page!Thanks also to the people who make this show possible every week including:PromosuiteJustin Dove at Core Image StudiosMegatrax

I caught up with Barry Taylor of Comedy records.  We worked together many years ago at 102.1 The Edge

David Marsden is best know as the creator of CFNY in Toronto and led it during it's most revered and influential time.  New Wave and all of the wonderful, but mostly ignored post-punk music of the 80's  He's also one of 4 broadcasters featured in the documentary I Am What I Play, which as the title suggests, is about really standing up for what you believe in... credibility, trying to push things forward.  Which he continues to do to this day through at NYTHESPIRIT.COM

Sam Coffey & The Iron Lungs have a new record coming in a few weeks.  But we talk about Sea Shanties, playing Dungeons & Dragons on Twitch and an open challenge to Pete Townshend

This week it's another strong case for the quality of the Ottawa Rock scene.  Taming Sari are a 5 piece pure Rock n Roll band that are best consumed in a live setting, which all seems like such a distant memory at this point.With some new material on the way, it's the perfect time to catch up with the band and at the end of the interview they'll play a live version of their biggest song "Down With The Devil"

What's the weirdest thing you'd think a recovered, stolen guitar would come back covered in?  If one of Jonny's guitars could talk, we probably wouldn't want the details, but it makes for a funny story in a podcast.  They also discuss their cover of Alice Cooper's "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and play a slide guitar, reverbed living room take of 'The Cure' off their first record that is most certainly served best with a whisky

Remember a few months ago when Australia was burning?  We all watched in horror at what was happening to the animals.  Well Leon Harrison of The Lazys (who call Australia home) organized a great show to raise some much needed funds for all the damage that had been done.  The show sold out.  But, now we could be waiting a while for it to happen.  F%$# YOU Covid-19.  He's also got some great stuff going during isolation and is just a dude and a half and fun to talk to. Darryl also talks to Philip Sayce, a Canadian guitar virtuoso who's next album Spirit Rising comes out on April 24th.  He talks about cutting his teeth with Jeff Healey's band and his admiration for him along with some other cool stories

And Run!'

Since the 'Traveling Music Talk Show' no longer travels due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Darryl now talks to his guests on the phone.  This week, both are in California.  Darrin Pfeiffer, best known as the drummer from Goldfinger talks to Darryl about some of the amazing guests he's met through the Dangerous Darrin Show, his many, MANY musical projects and we play a song from his latest band The August Madness.  He also shares some great stories and insights for drummers.  Then Neuman Mannas of The Matchstick Skeletons talks to Darryl about what he's done to ride out the pandemic, having just moved to L.A a few months ago.  It's perhaps the most Rock n Roll thing ever.
