Joey Killingsworth, the driving force behind Joecephus and the George Jonestown Massacre, has spent close to 20 years blending outlaw country with thrashing riff rock to build a loyal following. A Memphis native with deep musical roots—his father, Bo Jack, played with rockabilly legend Eddie Bond—Killingsworth initially resisted country music but later embraced it, launching the Massacre as a vehicle for his diverse influences. Known for creative collaborations and tribute projects, he's worked with legends like Jello Biafra and Greg Ginn. Joey is also a booking agent who works with both Lydia and Tim.

Le math rock est un sous-genre du rock caractérisé par des riffs de guitare inspirés du rock progressif, des harmonies non conventionnelles et des rythmes complexes. Émergé à la fin des années 1980 et au début des années 1990, il trouve ses racines dans la scène indie rock et post-hardcore, influencé par le rock indépendant en plein essor à l'époque. Le groupe emblématique de hardcore des années 1980 à Los Angeles, Black Flag est grâce à de nombreux albums comportant des passages instrumentaux basés sur les riffs du guitariste Greg Ginn, une des influences majeure sur ce genre. De nombreux groupes de math rock sont originaires du Midwest des États-unis, en particulier de Chicago et de Louisville. À Chicago, le studio Electrical Audio, supervisé par Steve Albini, a joué un rôle clé dans l'histoire du genre. Le groupe Shellac, avec son album "At Action Park" de 1994, illustre parfaitement le son caractéristique de Chicago. Louisville, similaire à Chicago, a donné naissance à des groupes notables comme Slint, Rodan, et Gastr del Sol, montrant des influences avant-gardistes. Sur Côte Est, Merge Records en Caroline du Nord a soutenu des groupes notables comme Polvo et Breadwinner. Dischord Records, à Washington, D.C., a accueilli des groupes post- hardcore influencés par le math rock, comme Shudder To Think, Jawbox, Lungfish et Fugazi. Le math rock se caractérise par des chansons comprenant plusieurs parties et de longs pas comme King Crimson, mais avec une esthétique auditive épurée. Ce genre musical favorise une production minimale, avec des orchestrations limitées et l'absence d'overdubs. Les instruments principaux sont la guitare, la basse et la batterie, avec souvent l'un des instrumentistes assumant le rôle de chanteur principal. Le math rock est réputé pour ses passages instrumentaux étendus, privilégiant cette dimension plutôt que les mélodies vocales et les paroles. Des groupes emblématiques comme Slint, avec l'album "Spiderland", ont marqué le genre en proposant des compositions presque entièrement instrumentales. Certains groupes de math rock, comme Don Caballero et Hella, adoptent même une approche sans chanteur. Le genre a étendu son influence à l'étranger, notamment au Japon avec des groupes comme Tricot et Ling tosite Sigure, ainsi qu'au Royaume-Uni avec des groupes post-punk et post-hardcore comme TTNG, Foals et Tubelord.

In the 1990s if you were a band wanting to make a record then the dream was to do it at For the Record studios. Bands like Outspoken, Farside, Gameface, Eleven-Thirty Four, Adamantium and many others recorded there.

Oftentimes, the person behind the console producing your record was none other that Eric Garten aka E. His goal was transfer whatever a band was to a recording that would best represent them. In this interview we are reunited in real time, we discuss analog gear, and we take a tour through this incredibly important Orange County recording studio!

En este episodio conversamos sobre “Damaged”, el álbum debut de Black Flag, lanzado el año 1981.
CINEMA CINEMA was established in 2008 by Brooklyn-born cousins, vocalist/guitarist Ev Gold and drummer Paul Claro. They've been described as “experi-metal punks” by the Village Voice, a “jolt of adrenaline” by BrooklynVegan, and “feral and unrelenting” by Big Takeover. Touring extensively through the past 15 years, CINEMA CINEMA has performed over 475 shows across 11 countries. Multiple treks alongside SST Records founder Greg Ginn, including a 45-date North American tour opening for Black Flag in 2014, select dates supporting Black Flag in 2013, and shared dates in 2010, 2011, and 2012 with Ginn's other outfits: The Royal We and The Taylor Texas Corrugators. In addition, the band has half a dozen European tours to their credit, including a 2013 stint in support of Martin CINEMA CINEMA returns, this time with polymath percussionist Thor Harris (Swans, Angels of Light, Shearwater) in tow, to release their seventh full length, “Mjolnir”. Recorded at historic BC Studio in Brooklyn, NY with legendary noise producer Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, John Zorn, Boredoms). The album will be released July 28 as a red 12” vinyl LP, digital download and via streaming platforms by Nefarious Industries. Inviting multi-instrumentalist Harris into the fold inspires new direction for the ensemble. Exploring his creative repertoire, Thor makes use of BC's synth collection along with an assortment of drums and arcane percussion pieces to leave his fingerprints on the proceedings. The trio submerge themselves in the strange beauty of chaotic sound, captured inside BC's cavernous recording space. Tracked just before the pandemic, Bisi spent time cultivating the sessions in the months that followed, helping shape one of the band's most expressive records to date. This marking the third time that CINEMA CINEMA and Martin have worked together (2014's A Night at The Fights and 2017's Man Bites Dog), the familiarity breeds wild results.

The modern music industry is defined, in large part, by major labels and centralized digital services. To try and imagine a world without (or at least around them), we've been looking backwards to the 1980s, when a thriving underground economy enabled a remarkable flood of American rock. If one label could be said to define that moment, it would be LA's SST Records. Founded in Hermosa Beach by Black Flag guitarist Greg Ginn, SST would spend the decade releasing an unbeatable string of albums from acts like Hüsker Dü, the Minutemen, Soundgarden, Sonic Youth, St. Vitus, and Meat Puppets. To try and understand how SST did it—and why it more or less vanished by the turn of the 90s, we talk to Jim Ruland author of Corporate Rock Sucks: The Rise and Fall of SST Records. Come for discussion of Spot, the best punk producer of all time. Stay for a takes on semi-thriving undefground economies , megalomania, and “weeding out.”
Part two of The Ledge’s look at SST Records focuses on the second half of the 80’s. There are a few big names involved, including Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Buffalo Tom, and future grunge major label heroes Screaming Trees and Soundgarden. There’s a look at the last few Black Flag albums, along with the Greg Ginn solo project Gone. There are also a few veterans of the music scene, including Divine Horsemen, Volcano Suns, and the first solo releases by Husker Du’s Grant Hart. Once again, special thanks must go to Jim Ruland for his fabulous book, Corporate Rock Sucks: The Rise & Fall of SST Records, which inspired this series of episodes. I would love it if every listener bought at least one record I played on either of these shows. These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion! For more information, including setlist, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com
When I was informed there was a new book about one of my favorite labels of the 80s, I just had to have it. Jim Ruland’s Corporate Rock Sucks: The Rise & Fall of SST Records is every bit as great as I hoped. It really tells the controversil tale of not only label founder Greg Ginn, but the entire circus of bands and staffers that ran a label that launched the careers of dozens of legendry artists. It was only natural that I put together a show dedicated to these artists, but I quickly discovered this story could not be told in one episode. Tonight’s broadcast starts off with a chronological look at most of the label’s first 20 or so releases, followed by another hour spotlighting some of my personal favorites. While I still have dozens of records to sample for next week’s episode, if there’s any you feel needs to be included, please let me know!

It's an O3L party! We've got nothing better to do than listen to O3L and have a couple of brews (or ginger ales), because this week we discuss the ultimate American punk rock label, SST Records. SST was founded in 1978 by Black Flag guitarist Greg Ginn as a vehicle for his band's records, but over the years has released classic underground music by the likes of Hüsker Dü, Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Soundgarden, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Screaming Trees, Bad Brains, Descendents and many more. Our guest Lad this week is author and music journalist Jim Ruland, who has written the definitive chronicle of the label with his new #1 Amazon best seller Corporate Rock Sucks: The Rise & Fall of SST Records. In this insightful and exhaustive book, Ruland recounts SST's remarkable rise, dysfunctional operation, and infamous downfall. Through it all, they changed the alternative rock landscape forever.

This week we're discussing every album by Saint Vitus. Led by guitarist Dave Chandler, Saint Vitus pretty much invented doom metal in the early to mid 80s after being signed to Greg Ginn's (of Black Flag) record label, SST. While the band has gone through numerous vocalists and lineup changes, the infamous Scott Wino Weinrich left his mark on this band with some of their best albums. Heavy stuff, but definitely not for everyone.

Kira Roessler played bass in Black Flag for two years, during which time the legendary hardcore band put out seven(!) records. Now, at the age of 60, she's an Emmy- and Oscar-winning dialogue editor and promoting her self-titled solo debut. In this interview she discusses her new album, being in a band with Henry Rollins and Greg Ginn, as well as being in a band (and a marriage) with Mike Watt.
A longtime veteran of the scene, Tony Reed has made a name for himself both in front of a live audience and behind the scenes. In addition to leading his main outfit, Mos Generator, Tony's also a driving force in Big Scenic Nowhere (along with Bob Balch from Fu Manchu, who was featured on the show last week) and has put in years of production, engineering, and mastering work on countless albums. During his chat with Dylan, Tony delves into his many other projects, as well as stealing a 45 of "Nights in White Satin" at age four, learning "Iron Man" as his first song, an appreciation for the goths, Greg Ginn's breakfast treats, why he doesn't dwell on past decisions, gets real about production work, the green origins of the band name, and dealing with the fear of rejection. Support Mos Generator and Big Scenic Nowhere, as well as Tony's other bands and solo releases and his alt-country band, Hot Spring Water. Track featured is "Stolen Ages" from Shadowlands, released in 2018. Regarding the track at the time, Tony had this to say: "This is another song that was built from a jam and was recorded the day after it was written. We ended up using two different ideas on the same theme. On the demo jam, the song changed over the course of 20 minutes and when we were reviewing the session we thought it would be cool to marry the different styles. Part one has a loose psychedelic jam style and part two has a great pushing metal boogie feel. As I am writing this paragraph I am taking a break from arranging the vocal melodies and guitar overdubs. This is the second of two songs to be arranged during session #3 in January 2018. There are quite a few ideas that we laid down to the recorder that we'll get to in the future."
Black Flag is such a vast, deep topic to cover that it was impossible to get to everything involving Greg Ginn, Henry Rollins, Keith Morris, Chuck Dukowski and the rest. FLAG IIII came out unscathed, but Keith and Henry's relationship perhaps not so much. We investigate from what we can piece together.

Black Flag's feud seems to mostly be all against one: Greg Ginn against Henry Rollins, Keith Morris, Chuck Dukowski, Dez Cadena, Bill Stevenson, Kira Roessler, Ron Reyes and most every other member of Black Flag: A band that has more members/line ups than The Misfits. But the beef is not limited to being directed solely at Greg Ginn. ALLEGEDLY, most if not all of these members have ever received royalties from SST Records.

This week on Broken Records Steve and Remfry continue their search for the very worst record in history by looking at a genuinely legendary band; LA hardcore legends Black Flag, and their 7th studio album What The... , released on the 5th of November 2013. What should and could have been a glorious return to action from one of the most celebrated artists in the history of punk rock soon descended into a farcical situation as Black Flag band leader Greg Ginn sued, ignored and alienated pretty much every legendary musician to have ever passed through the ranks in the past. The result is a rather sad and incredibly confusing period in which the name of a truly exceptional band was trawled through the mud and, arguably, negatively affected their superb legacy. But, was the record that came along during all the drama really that bad? Here's the place to find out.
We're going wild in the streets on this episode because Damian is joined by his buddy & a goddamn LEGEND: KEITH MORRIS! Listen in as the two discuss the LA punk explosion, & what led up to it, from the most first hand of perspectives. From going with Greg Ginn to see the Dogs in a music wasteland to watching West Coast hardcore take over the globe a few years later. This is NOT TO BE MISSED & don't miss the brand new jammed packed reissue of Group Sex (one of the best records ever!) out now on Trust Records. Also Touched On: Not heroes, friends Great bass players LA versus NY punk A nice thick red face and zucchini noodles Talking Heads, Blondie and most of the early CBs scene wasn’t really punk The Dickies and X are the only bands to get signed Zolar X The Imperial Dogs The Dogs from Detroit: Ginn and Keith’s favourite band The Last kick it off in the South Bay Lucky Leher gives out his number on Group Sex and regrets it Jeff trades Keith a song in exchange for a new band name Hollywood vs the Beach communities The effect of growing up in the “Hey Devo!” era Don’t stand around trying to figure stuff out, jump in: Beach Jocks Circles Jerks and Fear to 5000 people at the Olympic Auditorium The Stooges on their last legs The effects of Charles Manson on you Culture Vom were… fun Fear forming to mock punk The Extremes to Youth Brigade The Atoms: pre-DFL and GnR The first tour Fanzines Making sure you were playing with the good band in each town Borrowing riffs four month long tours no merch & SO MUCH MORE!!!

After recently watching all 3 Decline of Western Civilization films as well as the H.R documentary, I thought what a better subject for this one than some old school punk rock and the youth culture of the 80's that Penelope Spheeris captured so well.

Black Flag special with Kira Roessler in conversation with David Eastaugh Black Flag is an American punk rock band formed in 1976 in Hermosa Beach, California. Initially called Panic, the band was established by Greg Ginn, the guitarist, primary songwriter, and sole continuous member through multiple personnel changes in the band. They are widely considered to be one of the first hardcore punk bands, as well as one of the pioneers of post-hardcore.
My Longtime friend Richard Francis "Rikk" Agnew, Jr. (born December 9, 1958) is an American singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and visual artist. We cover Aura's and Out of body experiences with Rikk's backstory of strange events in his life..Agnew's music career spans more than 30 years.

He later released Emotional Vomit in 1990 and Turtle in 1992.Agnew has cited influences such as The Beatles, the Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, Black Flag's Greg Ginn, and Flipper's Ted Falconi.Facebook Links:https://www.facebook.com/officialrikkagnewband/https://www.facebook.com/gitanegdqTwitter:https://twitter.com/RikkAgnewBand?fbclid=IwAR05qbI-fAAfkebRShEiCBjq0s-AlQ7r6LYTWvej85Y3qYyPGiRF_Vw5xiIYouTube Links:https://youtu.be/hP0YnzEhLGUhttps://youtu.be/RiO4xpSrGiMhttps://youtu.be/5bM9wRK-C-Ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ard1WKpt4GEMerchandise Links:https://rikkagnewshit.bigcartel.com/https://gitanedemone.bigcartel.com/?fbclid=IwAR2yhRL_2-b3GyrwdfcjchSYKpTwUpXozIB7YsUKckVToc3tRxN24CKt2gQWebsites:http://gitanedemone.net/?fbclid=IwAR2mhkXe8aErpdPrcFgNWIScQmYZD2N95kJXrWwmM58FKwC64C49J6VsDi0Support the show (https://cash.app/$2Dabs)

"Holy shit, Greg Ginn's a Deadhead!" We're headed on a long strange trip into the Black Pyramid with special guest John Kiefer. Deadheads unite! YOU DON’T KNOW MOJACK is a podcast dedicated to exploring the entire SST catalogue, in order, from start to finish. During the podcast we will discuss all the releases that are part of our core DNA, as well as many lesser-known releases that deserve a second chance, or releases that we are discovering for the very first time (we actually don’t know Mojack!). First and foremost we are fans, and acknowledge that we are not perfect and don’t know everything – sometimes the discussion is more about a time, place, feeling, personal experience or random tangents, and less about the facts (but we will try to get to the facts too).

Avant d’être le guitariste et fondateur de Black Flag, Greg Ginn était un gamin débrouillard qui a inventé des appareils électroniques et a déposé de nombreux brevets, le plus rentable étant celui d’un tuner d’antenne. A l’âge de 13 ans, il lance un fanzine radio amateur : The Novice et il fonde dans la foulée SST pour Solid State Transmitter afin de vendre du matériel radio par correspondance. Bien que son entreprise fût petite, elle prospéra rapidement à tel point que Greg Ginn pouvait presque en vivre avant l’âge adulte. En 76, Greg Ginn fonde avec son frère Raymond Petitbon et Keith Morris le groupe Panic que l’on connaitra par la suite sous le nom de Black Flag. Raymond Petitbon quittera le groupe par la suite remplacé par Charles Dukowski. Il deviendra célèbre pour avoir dessiné le fameux logo du groupe : le drapeau noir que l’on trouve tatoué sur de nombreuses peaux et aussi maintenant sur des t-shirts H&M. Ses pochettes de disques légendaires et son style unique ont fait les honneurs des albums de Black Flag et des groupes SST ainsi que de nombreux autres groupes. En 78, Black Flag enregistre le single Nervous Breakdown pour le label Bomp mais celui-ci tarde à le sortir. Greg Ginn décide qu’il a suffisamment d’expérience pour le sortir lui-même. Il revend son affaire de radio et fonde le label SST Records. Nervous Breakdown sera la première sortie du label en 79 suivi en 80 de l’ep Paranoid Time des Minutemen. Pour mettre en place leur 1er album Damaged en 81 dans les magasins, SST a passé un marché avec Unicorn Records via la major MCA. Une semaine avant la sortie de l’album, MCA refusa de sortir l’album pour des raisons d’éthiques jugeant le disque « anti-parents ». SST a intenté une poursuite contre Unicorn. Unicorn obtiendra une injonction interdisant SST de publier des albums de Black Flag. Unicorn fit faillite en 83 rendant les droits de publication à SST. Malgré ses problèmes juridiques, SST continuera de publier des disques notamment des Minutemen, Saccharine Trust ou des Meat Puppets. SST avait pour idée de partager l’argent comme une famille. Les groupes rentraient dans un style de vie particulier. Si un album se vendait bien l’argent servait pour un autre groupe du label. Il y avait plusieurs styles de musique, différents points de vue et même temps une logique anti-commerciale déconnectée de toute scène. La famille SST a commencé a volé en éclats lorsque Warner Bros a signé Hüsker Dü fin 86, devenant le premier groupe de hardcore a signé chez une major. Gregg Ginn devint un fumeur de joints paranoïaque et les groupes quittèrent le label un à un. En 84, SST était en position pour obtenir un succès à long terme en tant qu’indépendant rebelle. Et même s’ils sortirent par la suite quelques groupes décents comme Saint Vitus ou Always August le label finira par ne sortir que des productions médiocres à tel point que SST finira dans l’anonymat le plus total en perdant son côté « Do It Yourself » des débuts. SST publia de nombreux albums qui s’avérèrent décisifs dans l’essor du hardcore et du rock indépendant américain en publiant des groupes comme Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, Sonic Youth, les Meat Pupets ou Dinosaur Jr. Black Flag/Nervous Breakdown Hüsker Dü/Something I Learned Today Bad Brains/Re-Ignition Minutemen/Little Man With a Gun in His Hand Sonic Youth/Star Power Saint Vitus/Born Too Late Screaming Trees/Black Sun Morning Dinosaur Jr./Raisans Sylvia Juncosa/Lick My Pussy, Eddie Van Halen Oxbow/Lucky

THIS IS NOT A TEST - books, music, movies, art, culture and truth
In part one of my interview with iconoclastic Los Angeles art writer and gallerist Mat Gleason, we talk about the Los Angeles punk scene, The Atomic Cafe, the new paradigm, SST Records, the South Bay, conservative culture, art-as-time-machine, feminism, diversity, tolerance, Greg Ginn, Mike Ness, Mr. Brett Gurewitz, prog rock, The Misfits, the burden of facts, The Velvet Underground, Coagula Art Journal, Grad school, Mike Kelley, Green Day and careerism. Among other things. In other words, a typical conversation with Mat.
This week Damian sits down with his good friend Steven McDonald from OFF! and Red Kross, for a conversation that was so good that they had to record it twice! Steven is the definition of a lifer, having started playing in punk bands at the age of 11 in 1978. He shares amazing and legitimately terrifying stories from hardcore’s formative days. Sit back and enjoy this EPIC 2+ HOUR hang out!!!! Plus, behind the scenes of their VICE-20 Hardcore bands. Also covered in this episode: - Steven's genuine curiosity about Damian having been “straight edge” - The two's evening spent getting to become "Cro-Mags Adjacent" - Seeing Patti Smith as a child - Being cousins of the Allycats - McDonald's and husky kids - How the Dickies "10" White Dickie" kills Junior High School popularity. - The A&R skills of Greg Ginn - "Little kid band" beef with Mad Society? - The Germs being THE band. - Rollins: the prototypical hardcore kid - An impassioned debate on downloading - Record stores as laxatives
“I’m sorry if I can’t look you in the eyes during the interview,” Keith Morris apologizes, taking the microphone from me. I’m slightly baffled by the statement until he lays down on the couch, feet facing me, mic resting on his chest. It takes a few minutes to shake the feeling that this is some sort of on-the-record counseling session. Morris isn’t feeling 100-percent. Not too surprising, really, for a 58-year-old hardcore singer grappling with diabetes and emphysema, but the mere fact that he’s made it this far is an accomplishment in and of itself — and then there’s the fact that, in a couple of hours, he’s set to take the stage with his new band, OFF. For the time being, however, the former Black Flag/Circle Jerks frontman is attempting to exert as little energy as possible, as we sit in the Bowery Ballroom’s backstage, in amongst assorted foodstuff that looks to have been plucked from the shelves of a nearby health food store. But while Morris will barely move a muscle during the hour-plus conversation, his mind and mouth hardly ever stop. There’s plenty of ground to cover, of course, from the early Southern California hardcore days of the late-70s/early-80s to his recent rebirth, creating arguably his best and most immediate music since Golden Shower of Hits. And then there’s the health concerns and the lawsuits and the time spent on the Black Flag Facebook page defending his old pal, Henry Rollins. As for their old bandmate, guitarist Greg Ginn, however, Morris isn’t likely to be rushing to defend him on social media any time soon.

I got together with my old friend Randy Larsen (Cable, Empty Flowers) to check out the "Black Flag" show that happened here in Brooklyn at the Warsaw Club as part of the Northside Music Fest. I know that I've been obsessed with this for the last few episodes, but this will probably be the final transmission on this topic. It's time to move on to other things and just let it go. Greg Ginn is a genius; his guitar playing will destroy you however, I think he needs to leave Black Flag in the past. Music for this episode: Intro - Hans Zimmer - "Gotham's Reckoning" from the DARK KNIGHT RISES soundtrack Outro - Empty Flower - "Police" from the album SIX
Ev Gold from Brooklyn's Cinema Cinema checks into McG's Backroom to discuss old-school indie and punk rock, recording their new album “MANIC CHILDREN and the SLOW AGGRESSION” with Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios and their summer 2012 tour with Greg Ginn and the Royal We.

SST Records was a seminal label in Los Angeles’s independent music scene of the 1980’s. Founded in 1978 by Greg Ginn, SST released records by a slew of influential bands such as Black Flag, Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Saint Vitus, Husker Du, and Sonic Youth, to name just a few. Naomi Petersen was SST’s staff photographer for much of the 1980s. Finding out about Naomi’s death in 2005, a full two years after the fact, spurred Joe Carducci, part owner of SST Records from 1981-1986, to write Enter Naomi: SST, L.A. and All That… (Redoubt Press, 2007). In it he not only tells Naomi’s story, but also the story of SST and, to a lesser extent, the story of the L.A. punk scene in the early eighties. Carducci sensitively portrays Naomi as a young woman finding her art and passion in the distinctly masculine worlds of SST and punk rock. Along the way he tells the stories of many of the characters that made SST the pioneering indie label that it was. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
