We've got some unapologetic lady-power Americana!  We saw The Flying Vees open for a band down in Philly and we were hooked within half a song.  Tight harmonies, filthy guitar, and killer keys made for a set that left us wanting more.The Flying Vees are a bonafide supergroup composed of four seasoned musicians of varied backgrounds. Brechyn Chace (vocals), Shannon Vasile (vocals), Caitlin Ramsey (keys) and Hannah Taylor (guitar/vocals) joined forces in 2020 to create their unique brand of wry, gothic, harmony-heavy Americana. Lovers of punk, country, folk, and maudlin, sad-girl caterwauling will be equally at home at a The Flying Vees show.We can't wait to share their music and hear the stories behind them.  Gonna be fun!Our Listen to the Dissonance initiative hopes help break the stigma around mental health.  Going to therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness.

The boys continue a decidedly metallic non-metal March with the titanically gnarly new album from Tennessee deathcore legends Whitechapel, the fantastic Hymns In Dissonance!

We get our BROOTAL gutterals on in this heavy installment of Metalology as the crew reviews the new Whitechapel album “"Hymns in Dissonance". From the start, the crew displays their surprise of how brutally heavy this album is and has many ‘wtf' reactions to each song. Whether they enjoyed it or not is irrelevant as this album was a deathcore experience and it was all caught on the podcast. This is a can't miss episode as you find out if a nu-metal guy, general music listener, metal elitist, and metal enthusiast together enjoyed this new record by Whitechapel.

Bergson was an early proponent of the absolute importance of context when trying to understand nature. This is nowhere more apparent than in the world of music, where the rhythm, interval, and mode of the songs being played creates wildly different sensations even when the same pure tones are in play. Bagby has extensive experience with novel musical instruments, strange tunings, and alternative scales, which he deploys as evidence of Bergson's deep insights in the nature of perception and reality.

The Gospel of John places an interesting focus on the word BELIEVE over the word FAITH.

Pastor Erina continues our Lenten sermon series on "Habakkuk and the Blues" by following the trackable conversation between God and Habakkuk into dissonance. What do we do when God says and does things we don't expect or want? How might embracing dissonance be an expression of our faith, not our lack of it?NOTE: During this sermon, Pastor Erina plays a 2 min video clip, which can be found here: https://youtu.be/meha_FCcHbo?si=dh_fr2kDvbn3cCzF

Whitechapel's Ben Savage On The Loaded Radio Podcast TL;DR In this episode of The Loaded Radio Podcast, Whitechapel guitarist Ben Savage discusses the band's highly anticipated new album, Hymns In Dissonance, set for release on March 7 via Metal Blade Records. He dives into the writing process, the band's heaviest breakdowns yet, his biggest influences, and what fans can expect from their upcoming North American tour. Listen to the full interview below! Whitechapel's Hymns In Dissonance: Their Most Brutal Album Yet? For over a decade, Whitechapel has been at the forefront of modern deathcore, delivering devastating riffs, punishing breakdowns, and unrelenting aggression. Now, with their ninth studio album, Hymns In Dissonance, the Knoxville-based metal titans are taking their sound to darker and heavier depths than ever before. According to guitarist Alex Wade, the album is designed to be “shockingly menacing and brutal.” With guttural lows, eerie atmospheres, and crushing riffage, Hymns In Dissonance is poised to be one of the heaviest releases of 2024. In this week's episode of The Loaded Radio Podcast, we sit down with Ben Savage to break down the album's concept, the band's unique approach to songwriting, and what went into crafting this monstrous new record. The Concept Behind Hymns In Dissonance Unlike their previous album, Kin (2021), which explored deeply personal themes, Hymns In Dissonance is a concept album centered around a cult leader gathering followers to commit heinous acts in worship of their dark lord. Frontman Phil Bozeman describes the album's title as a direct contradiction: “Hymns are melodious and harmonious. Dissonance is the opposite. Dissonance represents evil. These tracks serve as hymns for the cult, each one symbolizing a deadly sin.” The record follows a 10-track journey that builds upon Whitechapel's legacy while introducing some of their lowest tunings and most intricate guitar work yet. Whitechapel's Heaviest Riffs Yet? One of the most exciting elements of Hymns In Dissonance is its brutal guitar work. In the interview, Ben Savage breaks down how Whitechapel pushed their sound further than ever before. One key highlight is the album's title track, which drops to Drop F tuning in its final breakdown—the lowest tuning Whitechapel has ever used. According to Wade, the shift in tuning helps create an “overwhelmingly crushing” finale that fans will undoubtedly feel in their bones. The album's lead single, “A Visceral Retch,” was the first taste of this new sound, immediately receiving high praise from fans for its sheer intensity. The Making of Hymns In Dissonance Unlike previous albums, the writing and recording process for Hymns In Dissonance was entirely in-house, with Zach Householder handling production duties. Having worked closely with producer Mark Lewis over the years, Householder was able to bring his deep understanding of Whitechapel's sound into the production process, ensuring maximum impact with every track. Savage also discusses how the band approached writing in a structured, weekday-only schedule, which allowed them to stay focused while avoiding burnout. Whitechapel's Hymns In Dissonance North American Tour With the album set to drop on March 7, Whitechapel is gearing up for a massive North American tour in support of Hymns In Dissonance. The month-long trek kicks off on March 18 in Raleigh, NC, and wraps up on April 19 in Atlanta, GA. They'll be joined by an absolutely stacked lineup, featuring: Brand of Sacrifice 200 Stab Wounds Alluvial With this kind of brutal tour package, fans can expect a nonstop assault of heavy music every single night. Tickets are available now, and if Whitechapel's past performances are anything to go by, this is not a show you'll want to miss. Listen to the Full Interview with Ben Savage We cover all of this and more in this week's Loaded Radio Podcast, where Ben Savage opens up about his biggest musical influences, his favorite records of all time, and what makes Hymns In Dissonance such a special album for Whitechapel.

Just a few days before he took off for Hong Kong, Dan talks to folk singer-songwriter Andrea Nardello at her kitchen table in Philadelphia. Andrea talks about growing up the tomboy sister of older brothers just over the bridge in New Jersey, coming out of her shell to perform in college, and getting her start on the road while living in Atlanta at the beginning of her career. They discuss touring life, the grind of producing content, the ups and downs of booking even in your own hometown, their mutual love of Ani Difranco and the Indigo Girls, and Andrea's biggest aspiration: to be a "legacy opener".  Andrea Nardello's newest EP, 'Rise', is out now wherever you get your digital music, and on CD via her website. Follow her on IG to stay up to date with upcoming shows and releases.  In the opening, I talk about an event happening this weekend in Bethlehem, PA and in the Philly suburbs. Listen To the Dissonance is an annual concert series put on by Your Next Favorite Band (our sister podcast up in the Lehigh Valley), focusing on intimate performances from songwriters speaking about mental health awareness. This year, there are two opportunities to see it: 2/28 in Bethlehem at the Icehouse, and 3/1 in Wayne at 118 North. Both shows will feature performances from Jon Worthy, Brittany Ann Tranbaugh, A Day Without Love, and Cass Noelle. Come and be a part of this movement to de-stigmatize and promote mental health awareness through the universal language of music. Tickets are available, and you can get more information at Your Next Favorite Band's website.

In today's episode of Daily Creative, we dive into the subtle yet powerful dynamics that can undermine our creative potential. Imagine you're driving down a familiar road, and your car begins to pull to one side, requiring constant correction just to stay on track. This metaphor perfectly encapsulates how certain hidden forces can slowly erode our creative output and lead us astray from our best work. These stealthy saboteurs are what we call the "Assassins of Creativity".We'll explore how these assassins—Dissonance, Fear, and Expectation Escalation—work quietly behind the scenes to hinder our productivity and innovation. Through a recent keynote from Todd Henry, we break down these assassins and provide actionable insights on how to counteract them. From aligning tactics with strategy and purpose, to taking calculated risks in the face of fear, and managing expectations to maintain creative white space, this episode is packed with valuable lessons on sustaining creative excellence.Five Key Learnings from this Episode:Dissonance - A gap between what we are doing and why we are doing it can create tension and zap our creative energy.Fear - When the perceived consequences of failure outweigh the perceived benefits of success, it prevents us from taking necessary creative risks.Expectation Escalation - Constantly increasing expectations can squeeze out the white space needed for creativity and innovation.Unnecessary Complexity - Overcomplicating problems can introduce dissonance and hinder a creative team's progress.Opacity Phenomenon - A lack of clear reasoning behind tasks can lead to dissonance and reduced engagement from creative professionals.Get full interviews and daily content in the Daily Creative app at DailyCreative.appMentioned in this episode:NEW BOOK!
