In this episode, I'm talking with Tony, John, Matt and Jarret from Absentees. I had a blast talking with these guys about their journey into crafting their own brand of heavy hitting punk rock. We chatted about their latest EP called All the Hertz: Volume 1 which was recorded and produced by Jon-Mikal of the Idiot Kids (who are Fans With Bands alumni). Our conversation included favorite tunes on the new EP, the recording process with Jon-Mikal, songwriting, wrestling, and pizza. There is no rest for the Absentees as they are working on new music and hope to release vinyl this year on Jett Plastic Recordings. In between songwriting and recording, Absentees will be doing more shows throughout the year.AbsenteesCheck out their musicFollow on Facebook, Instagram, SpotifyFans With BandsSubscribe to Fans With Bands on your favorite podcast service such as Apple, Youtube, Spotify, Audible, and Amazon Music.

In Heaven Was Detroit: From Jazz to Hip-Hop and Beyond (Wayne State University Press, 2016), M. L. Liebler curates an exhaustive collection of essays about Detroit music by a diverse group of music scholars, journalists, and musicians. Instead of relying on familiar narratives about Motown and rock and roll, this anthology engages a vast array of musical genres and sub-genres, while sharing the oft-surprising hidden histories of artists, institutions, and communities integral to Detroit’s unique sound. Heaven Was Detroit begins with former California Poet Laureate Al Young’s meditation on his childhood obsession with early to mid-20th-century Detroit jazz and ends with an essay by Jarrett Koral about Jett Plastic Recordings, the 21st-century vinyl-only record label he runs out of his parents’ basement. In between are a mix of new and classic essays about Detroit jazz, blues, pre-Motown soul, Motown, rock, hip-hop, techno, and more. Kimberly Mack holds a Ph.D. in English from UCLA, and she is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio. Her book, Fade to Black: Blues Music and the Art of Narrative Self-Invention from Bessie Smith to Jack White, is under contract with the University of Massachusetts Press. She is also a music journalist who has written articles and reviews for national and international publications, including Music Connection, Village Voice, Relix, PopMatters, and Hot Press.

Tyson Todd Meade was an influential figure in the alternative rock scene of the 90's, thanks to his unique musical and lyrical style, which began with Defenestration, before founding the Chainsaw Kittens in 1989. Chainsaw Kittens combined 70's glam, punk, power pop and New Wave influences for a truly unique sound that, while never gaining mainstream success, inspired a loyal fan base, and influenced the likes of Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins. Meade just released his new solo album Robbing The Nuclear Family, on Jett Plastic Recordings. And he recently made another major (and unexpected) announcement: he's running for U.S. Congress to represent Oklahoma's 5th District.. On this week's episode, I speak to Meade about what enticed him to enter the political arena, Robbing the Nuclear Family, a recent reunion with the Chainsaw Kittens and more, concluding with 'He's The Candy,' a anthemic track off his new album. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/slis/support
Now I hear Icky Thump, and it's on the Third Men Podcast! This week we're proud to present the first in a series of two analysis and review episodes spotlighting the White Stripes' 6th and final studio album, Icky Thump. It was the culmination of everything the band had learned and tested during their decade long history - a musical experiment that is as interesting and relevant a decade after its release as it was at its inception. This first installment focuses on how the album came to be, from its unusual recording technique to its name and mission statement. All this, plus Jett Plastic Recordings founder Jarrett Koral stops in as our Third Man this week to give us the low down on how his company's vinyl release of Rocket 455's Bone Broke came to be! So sit back and enjoy, la lalala la lala la la laaa laaa laaaaaa! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
