This week, Chris DeMakes A Podcast is throwing it back to Episode 104 from May 23rd, 2022, when Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion joined the show to talk about the writing, recording, and legacy of their 1994 single "Stranger Than Fiction." Taken from the album of the same name, the song showcases Brett's sharp lyrical voice and knack for melody, and in this conversation, he opens up about everything from the first line to the final mix.

This week, we're finally diving into the unhinged surf-rock chaos of The Trashmen's “Surfin' Bird”—a Patreon pick that, frankly, we can't believe we haven't covered until now. This 1963 burst of raw energy, stitched together from two Rivingtons songs, has been called everything from a novelty hit to an early blueprint for punk rock. With its unforgettable “bird is the word” hook, the track gained renewed fame decades later thanks to its relentless presence on Family Guy. Jim Logrando and Trevor Leonard are both here to celebrate this gloriously absurd song, so catch a wave and join us for a wild ride through one of the most bizarre hits in rock history.

In this episode, Chris is joined by Fred LeBlanc, the high-energy frontman and drummer of Cowboy Mouth, to break down the story behind their signature song “Jenny Says.” Originally written during Fred's stint in Dash Rip Rock, the song went through several incarnations before becoming a crowd-commanding anthem and a staple of Cowboy Mouth's famously explosive live shows. Fred shares how the track evolved over time, why emotional honesty matters more than perfection, and how a great hook can outlast just about anything. From vocal delivery to production decisions, this conversation offers a raw, insightful look at a song that's connected with fans for decades—and proves that sometimes shouting “let it go, let it go, let it go” is exactly what we all need.

What do Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, Line 6's Spider amps, and some of the wildest custom guitars on earth have in common? Rich Renken. In this episode, Rich walks Blake through decades in the gear trenches—starting as a bassist in church bands, engineering records with 90s rock royalty, helping invent products that changed the amp game, and now running the show at James Tyler Guitars. He tells the origin story of the legendary “lead/rhythm” switch, what it was like helping develop Line 6's Spider Valve, M13, and Variax guitars, and how he accidentally dissed Jim Tyler's headstock to his face. Oh, and did we mention he played a part in shaping the tone on Thriller? From Norm's Rare Guitars to dodging corporate spam calls mid-interview, Rich's journey is a masterclass in gear, hustle, and absurd luck. Put your headphones on.

For Throwback Thursday this week, we're revisiting Episode 102—originally released on May 9, 2022—when Milo Aukerman sat in to share the story behind the 1982 Descendents fan favorite “Hope.” Milo talks about writing the song as a young, awkward romantic, how it found its way onto Milo Goes to College, and what it was like recording one of the most unexpectedly tender tracks in early punk. It's a fun, honest conversation full of laughs, memories, and insight into a song that still connects with anyone who's ever fallen hard and felt a little weird about it.

This week, Johnny Yetsconish joins us to celebrate The Outfield's timeless 1986 hit, “Your Love.” Though the British trio enjoyed a string of modest successes in the '80s, it's this power-pop anthem—with its unforgettable opening lyric and soaring vocals—that has etched itself into the fabric of pop culture. From its origins on the triple-platinum debut album Play Deep, “Your Love” has transcended generations, recently experiencing a resurgence thanks to Kelly Clarkson's viral cover on her “Kellyoke” segment, which sparked widespread attention and playful commentary about its impact . Johnny continues his streak of undeniable bangers with this one, so join us as we explore all the reasons why you should be a much bigger fan of The Outfield than you probably are.

Her 5th record, Kiss From The Balcony is due out July 18th via Carpark records and is a follow up to her acclaimed release New Reality Mind.  Madeline shares her early relationship with music and why an education spilt between formal piano training and an all-ages punk venue proved to be a rounding experience.   She tells us how she accidentally fell into making her first recording with Chaz Bundick from Tori y Moi and why the neutrality of their relationship played a role in that process. Joe and Madeline discuss the current music landscape and why taking advantage of the NOW is more important to Madeline that chasing the moving target of media consumption.  Madeline tells us how recording Kiss From The Balcony at Tiny Telephone Studio gave her more freedom and dramatic license than previous records and why she is dedicated to performance both in the studio and live.

What happens when a guitar wizard stumbles face-first into Hollywood? JD Simo is back, and this time he's not just laying down licks. He's coaching movie stars, babysitting vintage synths, and fixing million-dollar screwups the prop department didn't even notice. He walks us through how a phone call from producer Dave Cobb turned into a full-blown creative rescue mission on two major films: the Elvis biopic and the upcoming Bruce Springsteen flick. Along the way, JD accidentally invents a job, teaches Jeremy Allen White to fingerpick from zero, and nearly loses his mind syncing fake guitar playing with Dolby Atmos perfection. We're talking full-set nerdery. Telling Oscar winners their mic stands are in the wrong place. Sneaking into “video village” and somehow not getting kicked out. And yes, it all started because this man cares about the details. If you've ever screamed at the TV because the guitarist's amp wasn't even plugged in, this one's for you.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” is widely regarded as one of rock's all-time greatest songs, despite breaking just about every rule of what a hit single is supposed to be. In this Throwback Thursday episode (originally aired August 15th, 2022), Chris and Chris dive deep into Freddie Mercury's six-minute masterpiece—dissecting the song's bold arrangement, ambitious production, and soaring dynamics. They go beyond the surface to unpack the opera section's lyrics, revealing layers of meaning that most listeners likely never realized. From the a cappella intro to the explosive finale, it's a detailed tribute to Queen's genre-blurring classic.

This week, Jim Logrando sits in to discuss the spaced-out swagger of Monster Magnet's 1998 hit “Space Lord.” As a loyal listener since discovering the band in the late '90s, Jim brings his passion for these groove metal pioneers to the table as we dig into their unlikely brush with mainstream success. With its psychedelic riffs, tongue-in-cheek bravado, and a hook that crashed into the mainstream rock charts, “Space Lord” became the very first video ever played on MTV's Total Request Live. But despite that moment in the spotlight, we're left wondering—does this even count? Join us as we examine whether Monster Magnet's cosmic trip qualifies as a true one-hit wonder.

On this episode, Vision of Disorder vocalist Tim Williams discusses the creation of their 2001 single "Living to Die" from the album From Bliss to Devastation. Tim opens up about the deeply personal lyrics, written during a difficult time when he was dealing with his father's illness and his own inner struggles. He also reflects on working with producer Machine, whose boundless enthusiasm and creative energy—especially when it came to capturing vocal performances—made a lasting impact during the early days of his now-celebrated producing career. A powerful example of the band's musical evolution, "Living to Die" remains one of Vision of Disorder's most beloved songs and still hits just as hard today.

Way back in the sepia-toned past of podcasting (circa 2016), I sat down with Joel Korte of Chase Bliss Audio — before the blinking lights took over the world and before I fully understood how microphones work. Can you believe that this episode is almost a decade old? What a wild ride it's been! This episode has it all: – Engineering nerdery – Emotional whiplash – Mild Midwestern awkwardness – And at least one questionable Paul Reed Smith tangent – Strollerblading! Joel shares how a stint at a major guitar company, and one very big life detour somehow led to building some of the most innovative pedals on the planet. And I mostly just try not to say anything too stupid. It's clunky. It's charming. It's full of chaotic origin-story goodness. Basically: if you've ever wanted to hear a future pedal wizard in larval form, this is the one.

Alan Sparhawk is a singer, songwriter and a founding member of the Duluth based band Low, where he has built decades of stirring music with his wife and lifelong creative partner Mimi Parker. Following Mimi's passing in 2022, Alan has released two solo records, the first titled White Flowers, My God and the most recent Alan Sparhawk with Trampled By Turtles, both available now via Sub Pop Records. Alan shares his experiences from the most recent tour, what almost destroyed him, how he deals with it and why he thinks it's healthy to have near breaking points on the road. He tells us how his pitch corrected vocals style on White Flowers, My God was both a cathartic and perspective changing experience. We learn how he came to collaborate with fellow Duluthians Trampled By Turtles and why the relationship has provided personal and performance confidence he was seeking.

In this Throwback Thursday episode—originally released as Episode 162 on July 3rd, 2023—Chris sits down with Aaron Barrett and Scott Klopfenstein of Reel Big Fish to talk all about their 1996 hit, “Sell Out.” The song became an instant ska-punk anthem, blasting onto radio and MTV while poking fun at the music industry's obsession with, well, selling out. Aaron and Scott share the story behind writing and recording the track, what it was like suddenly finding themselves in the mainstream spotlight, and how “Sell Out” still hits home with fans decades later. It's a fun, behind-the-scenes look at a song that helped define the third wave of ska.

Back in the fall of 2009, an unexpected voice from the UK took over American radio when Jay Sean's “Down” (featuring Lil Wayne) knocked the Black Eyed Peas off the top of the charts after their epic run. This week on One Hit Thunder, Andrés joins us to revisit that moment in time—when ringtone sales mattered, Cash Money Records was everywhere, and Jay Sean seemed poised to become a global star. We dig into the rise and stall of his career, the lasting power of a great melody, and whether or not his smooth style should've taken him even further. Along the way, we also reflect on the shifting sounds of pop and hip-hop, the legacy of Lil Wayne's feature run, and why some hits live on while others fade fast. Most importantly, are we down with Jay Sean? You're just gonna have to listen to find out.

The second album featured multi-layered sampling and more production. While the album was initially a commercial failure, the beats earned them respect among their peers. Mike E. Winfield discusses the Beastie Boys' growth between albums with Josh.  Follow Mike on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/mikeewinfield/ https://www.youtube.com/@MikeEWinfield https://www.facebook.com/DesirableMike/ https://mikewinfield.com/ DistroKid Artist Of The Week: The Go!

In this episode, Ian Dench of EMF joins the show to discuss the writing and recording of the band's explosive 1991 hit, “Unbelievable.” From its instantly recognizable hook to its genre-blending sound, the song became a cultural phenomenon and an enduring stadium anthem. Ian offers a look behind the curtain at the song's construction, including its layered instrumentation, unique pre-chorus, and the clever use of samples—most notably the shout of “Oh!” lifted from Andrew Dice Clay's stand-up album. He also recounts how a chance encounter with Rick Rubin at a New York restaurant led to Rubin casually granting sample clearance with the words, “Fax my office in the morning.” The conversation explores the emotional and musical influences that shaped the track, the challenges of creating in the analog era, and how personal experiences and playful experimentation helped fuel the song's unforgettable energy.
