In this episode, we are joined by John Sparrow, drummer of Violent Femmes. Modern Drummer once described his approach perfectly: his drumming isn't built around the idea of a traditional kit — it's about choosing the right drum for the song. That spirit of experimentation and sonic curiosity has made Sparrow one of the more distinctive voices in the percussion world, and today we get to hear the story behind it all.Music clips from The Charms, The Dogmatics, The Zulus, and The Prime MoversProduced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo

Darren Hill returns to the show to talk about the new live Red Rockers album, recorded at Tipitina's in the band's hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2023.The Red Rockers were a New Orleans punk/new wave band formed in 1979 by John Thomas Griffith, James Singletary, and Darren Hill, who took their name from a song by California punk band The Dils. Early on they earned the nickname "America's Clash" for their politically charged debut Condition Red (1981), and even opened for The Clash on a Louisiana/Texas tour in 1982. Signing with San Francisco's 415 Records, they relocated and overhauled their sound, scoring their biggest hit with the new wave single "China" in 1983, which reached #19 on the Mainstream Rock chart and received heavy MTV rotation. Internal tensions over their commercial shift led to lineup changes and a third album, Schizophrenic Circus (1984), before they disbanded in 1985. The band reunited in 2023, with founding members reissuing Condition Red to a new generation of listeners.Music clips by The Charms, The Dogmatics, Blame It On Whitman, Black Helicopter, and The Red Rockers..Produced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo

Jack Grisham — the iconic frontman of SoCal punk legends T.S.O.L. joins us to talk about time, reinvention, and his new project Jack Grisham and the Life Undone, a collaboration with Berlin-based musician Lars Triesch. Grisham reflects on a life lived at full speed and the creative impulse behind the duo's debut record — a project he's quick to clarify isn't really a "band," but "a couple of friends who made a cool record." They discuss the first single "Pieces of the Sun" and the upcoming album.Music Clips by The Charms, The Dogmatics, The Zulus, and Jack Grisham And The Life UndoneProduced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo

Tommy Ng, leader of the indie rock band Jesus the Dinosaur, joins us to promote the band's new single "Sweet Nothing" and share the interesting journey that brought them from Atlanta to the Berklee College of Music in Boston.“For me personally, I'm describing what it feels like to be in a social setting while being maxed out on my social meter. I have a big people-pleasing problem (working on it), so I'll keep pushing through social interactions even when I have nothing left to give, so what comes out of my mouth at that point is usually just that: filler, forced smiles, canned responses, bullshit. Just enough to pass as pleasing and agreeable to everyone." — Tommy NgMusic Clips from The Charms, The Dogmatics, The Long Wait, and Jesus The Dinosaur Produced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo Please support us at patreon.com/twistedrico

Welcome back to A History of Christian Theology! In this episode, Chad sits down with Dr. Kelly M. Kapic, Professor of Theological Studies at Covenant College, to discuss his award-winning book Christian Life, published by Zondervan Academic as part of the New Studies in Dogmatics series.What does it actually mean to live as a Christian? Although the phrase "Christian life" is used constantly in churches and classrooms, its theological foundation often goes unexamined. Dr. Kapic argues that the Christian life is, first and foremost, a response to the love of the triune God — flowing from God toward us and drawing us back into communion with him. Central to his account is the incarnate Son, who loved the Father for us, weaving our fragmented prayers and imperfect devotion into his own perfect faithfulness.Chad and Dr. Kapic explore the theological foundations of Christian living, the role of the church and corporate worship in shaping the believer, and what it means to be united to Christ by the Spirit. It's a rich, accessible conversation at the intersection of systematic theology and everyday faith.Dr. Kapic holds a PhD in Systematic and Historical Theology from King's College, University of London, and has authored or edited over fifteen books. Christian Life received the 2025 Award of Distinction from The Gospel Coalition and an Honorable Mention from the Southwestern Journal of Theology.

Michael Robert Kelly is the guy you call when your band needs a bass player. In addition to fronting his own project, The Brother Stereo, he's stepped in for his brother Matt's band, the Dropkick Murphys, and logged a ton of shows with the legendary James Montgomery Band. Most recently, while on tour with the Violent Femmes as Brian Ritchie's bass tech, Kelly got the call to fill in after Ritchie suffered a serious bicycle accident. He tells us the whole story.Music clips from: The Charms, The Dogmatics, The Zulus, Blame It On Whitman, The Long Wait, and The OutletsProduced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo

We will soon welcome Dr. Kelly Kapic back to our church to speak at our Christ in Culture Conference:Living Well Within Limits: An Antidote for Hurry Sickness in our CultureFind more details here. (Pricing goes up April 11th!)In this episode, we speak with Dr. Kapic about one of his most recent books: Christian Life. This book is part of the New Studies in Dogmatics series by Zondervan Academic.The book was the winner of The Gospel Coalition Award of Distinction in Theological Studies. It's an excellent book. In this episode, Kapic joins Pastor Jon Cleland and Andrew Noble to discuss what it truly means to live a Christian life, its theological foundations in the Trinity and Christ, the importance of loving all of God's creation.

In this episode, we're joined by Prof. Kelly M. Kapic (PhD, King's College, University of London), who is Professor of Theological Studies at Covenant College, and the author of several books, including the book that we're discussing in this episode, Christian Life (as part of the New Studies in Dogmatics series published by Zondervan Academic). Over the course of our conversation, we discuss Kelly Kapic's aims to ground his theology of the Christian life in the Triune God, insisting that a theology of Christian life is necessarily theological. We also address how the particulars of Christian life pertain to universals, which helps to situate the topic in relation to various cultural and contextual settings. To round out the conversation, Prof. Kapic also highlights one of his main emphases that Christian life as a response to God begins with the Messiah's response to God first. From there flows the ecclesial gathering of Christ followers whose Christian life is bound up in our relations to one another, but also to God and to creation. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. John Anthony Dunne and Stephanie Kate Judd. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We look back at his remarkable life of rock 'n' roll and acting, which included bands like Silverhead, Detective, Chequered Past, and The Power Station, along with a stellar assortment of TV and film appearances. These days, Des Barres is back in the rock ring with his explosive new single "Kiss or Kill Me" on Rum Bar Records — and he's here to tell us all about it.Music Clips from The Charms, The Dogmatics, Blame It On Whitman, The Long Wait, The Zulus, and Michael Des BarresProduced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo

Tad Overbaugh is one of Boston's finest songwriters — criminally under the radar, but not for much longer. Tad crafts a sound that's been beautifully described as "alt-country music viewed from Boston," a gritty, lived-in blend of roots rock, Americana, and dive-bar pop that draws comparisons to The Replacements, Drive-By Truckers, and Steve Earle. It was fellow Boston-based songwriter Tom Baker — a man whose taste we've long admired — who essentially grabbed us by the collar and told us just how good this guy is. And Tad's new record is all the proof you need. Music Clips by The Charms, The Dogmatics, The Zulus, Black Helicopter, and Tad Overbaugh Produced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo

In this episode, we are joined by Ali Lipman and James Christopher of the up and coming Boston emo-punkers Cape Crush!

After another day of trying to meet deadlines and working on projects, you're again dissatisfied with how much you did or how well you did it. Then you go home, grab a bite to eat, and then go to your kid's concert or sporting event. When you come back home, you see that big house chore that has been waiting for weeks. You sigh and drop into bed thinking, “What's wrong with me? Why can't I get more done?” We are constantly colliding with our limitations.And we think that it is because we are fallen, sinful people. But what if? What if our limitations are a gift from God, that this is part of the very good part of being a created being? What if we are not supposed to carry the burden of trying to be something we are not and cannot be?Our guest on this episode is theologian Dr. Kelly M. Kapic. He's written a book that addresses this guilt we all experience when we feel that we should always be doing one more thing. Its title is You're Only Human: How Your Limits Reflect God's Design and Why that's Good News (Brazos, 2022). This book has won a number of awards, including Christianity Today's Book of the Year award in the category of Popular Theology.Scroll down to learn more about Kelly Kapic.Subscribe to the podcast on your favorite app:Thanks for listening!Please share this podcast with your friends.

This week’s broadcast is sort of two different episodes combined together. The first 45 minutes or so consists of songs left over from the previous two week’s new reelease episodes. They’re not leftovers in terms of quality, though. They were just the last couple of sets of material that would have caused last week’s show to be well over 2 1/2 hours. And sure, having those dozen or so spare tracks allowed me to throw in yet another tune from both The Dogmatics and The Peppermint Kicks albums. The second part of the broadcast, which actualy kicks off with one of last week’s leftovers (The Kowalski’s “Depression Overdrive”) showcases a number of tunes from reissues, compilations, and live albums. There’s the long forgotten original version of Marianne Faithfull’s “Sister Morphine”, outtakes from  Talking Heads, and live tunes from Husker Du, Guided By Voices and The Fall. There’s also two full sets from Cherry Red Records’ fabulous new I Wanna Be a Teen Again compilation, including a trio of old tunes from current Big Stir Records artists. Also, please give some thoughts to the ideas on an interview spinoff show and a possible Patreon site that I discuss in the first […]

This month’s second part of The Ledge new release is dominated by two of my favorite regular elements – female-led rock and roll and Rum Bar Records.   There are two lengthy sets of high octane bands led by female vocals, along with the show-opening debut of Tamar Berk’s new single, “Stay Close By”, which was released today! The full album comes out on September 5, and Tamar noted in the email that accompanied her tunes, “‘ocd’ is my fifth studio album in five years, and somehow it feels like the most personal and intense one yet. I've always written from a place of deep reflection, but this album digs into the spirals—my anxiety, obsessions, fears, memories, dreams—all of it. It's raw, loud, messy, sometimes funny, sometimes devastating. Just like my mind.” There’s also two sets devoted to the plethora of fabulous tunes recently put out on Rum Bar Records, highighted by two of my favorite records of the year by The Dogmatics and The Peppermint Kicks. “Nowheresville” is as strong as anything The Dogmatics have put out in their almost 45 year existence, while The Peppermint Kicks certainly load up the sugar in their pop-rock masterpiece, “Pop Rocks In My […]

On this episode, we are joined by all three members of the legendary Ape Hangers.At the end of June, we did a zoom interview with Pete Sjostedt, Bob Kiah, and Dennis McCarthy — better known as Ape Hangers — for a fun, free-flowing conversation. These guys are not only amazing musicians but longtime friends and all-around great people. At the time, we were a little vague about what was on the horizon, but now I can finally let the cat out of the bag: Ape Hangers are officially back with a brand-new EP and single coming soon on Rum Bar Records. It's been over 20 years since their incredible self-titled second album and even longer since their debut on A&M Records, which featured the unforgettable “I Don't Want To Live Today,” famously included in the cult classic film Empire Records.And here's the really exciting part — the band is playing their first Boston show in more than two decades on Saturday, August 23 at 3 PM at the Midway Cafe in Jamaica Plain. They'll be sandwiched between two Boston rock staples, The Dogmatics and Stop Calling Me Frank, making it a powerhouse lineup for anyone who loves real, gritty, high-energy rock 'n' roll.

The folder was almost full so I decided the time was right for a covers show. The key words are “almost full”, though. As late as this morning I was a few songs short of a full show. But I had faith. First off, I discovered the reissue of a 2012 covers EP by Black Furies called Get Down With It that included a cover of “Teenage Kicks”. Wait, what? It seems like every time I do a covers show I find yet another version of that tune.
