Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Trombino

On this episode of CD Burners, the guys are back and this time they're diving into The Starting Line's debut album, Say It Like You Mean It with none other than Ken Vasoli. Produced by Mark Trombino, this album was released in the summer of 2002, full of catchy hooks and hyperstrummed power chords that heavily influenced the newer generation of pop punk and emo bands that followed. 

On this episode of CD burners the guys take a deep dive into one of the biggest emo bands to come out of Arizona, Jimmy Eat World. Post the grunge era of the 90s, this band took scene by storm and was signed to Dreamworks before they were making movies. The guys get a chance to chat about their 4th studio album Bleed American and talk to it's producer Mark Trombino about the process of making it.

Drive Like Jehu was an American post-hardcore band from San Diego active from 1990 to 1995. It was formed by rhythm guitarist and vocalist Rick Froberg and lead guitarist John Reis, ex-members of Pitchfork, along with bassist Mike Kennedy and drummer Mark Trombino, both from Night Soil Man, after their two bands disbanded in 1990. Drive Like Jehu's music was characterized by passionate singing, unusual song structure, indirect melodic themes, intricate guitar playing, and calculated use of tension, resulting in a distinctive sound amongst other post-hardcore acts and helped to catalyze the evolution of hardcore punk into emo. In this episode all songs by bands selected by Drive Like Jehu to play All Tomorrow's Parties 2.0 April 22-24, 2016. Lineup: Hot Snakes, The Blind Shake, Mrs. Magician, Flamin' Groovies, The King Khan & BBQ Show, The Schizophonics, Metz, Mission Of Burma, The Gories, King Khan and the Shrines, The Spits, Rocket From The Crypt, Betunizer, The Monkeywrench, Holly Golightly, Dan Sartain, Martin Rev, Tortoise, The Ex, PyPy, Gary Wilson, Claw Hammer, Wau y Los Arrrghs

Episode 12 see's us go back to 2001 and discuss the fourth studio album by Arizona's Jimmy Eat World 'Bleed American'. Listen in to discover more about the albums creation and the journey of the band up to that point. Now 20 years later, how has this album gone on to influence the 2010's emo revival and other pop punk efforts? Listen in to find out how the band and producer Mark Trombino worked as equals to make this landmark album, and also find out why the album had the eponymous title 'Jimmy Eat World' for 7 years.

Hey there friends! Welcome to the show for our fourth edition of Flashback Fridays. I'm recording this on Saturday, but semantics, am I right? I would have recorded this last night, but we got a new puppy, so I was a bit preoccupied. Today, I want to highlight an album that came out in 2003 that I don't think gets near enough credit. I rocked this record so much back in 2003, and subsequently many times since. I was one of the biggest Mark Trombino fans. Still am. He's a producer that those in the pop punk and emo community are well aware of, however, he's got some hidden gems that not a lot of people know about or talk about. This album is one of them. Today, I'm highlighting Gob's album "Foot in Mouth Disease". This record sounds PHENOMINAL. It's kind of absurd how good it sounds. After the incredible and prolific years of 2001 and 2002, I can only assume that Mark Trombino had not only perfected his process, but he had every audio resource that there could possibly be available. Foot In Mouth Disease is the fourth studio album by Gob, released on April 1, 2003. Four singles were released from the album: "Give Up the Grudge", "Oh! Ellin", "Ming Tran" (which previously appeared on the F.U. EP), and "This Evil World". Three of the album's tracks have been featured in many Electronic Arts video games. The album's second track "I've Been Up These Steps" was in NHL 2003, "Oh! Ellin" was in NHL 2004, and "Give Up the Grudge" was in Madden NFL 2004 and the 2003 film American Wedding. It is the band's final album with longtime bassist Craig Wood, as he left the band in 2004. The song "Ming Tran" was featured in the Being Ian episode, "Band 'o' Bruthaz", which features Gob as guest stars. Foot in Mouth Disease is an onslaught of aggressively catchy anthems. This record has poppy songs, dark songs, heavy songs, and epic pop rock and pop punk songs. I love this record. Even if there are a couple of throwaway tracks. Honestly the single might be my least favorite track on this record. I also really don't like the cover art. It mimics the title too much. I have to wonder if the single choice and cover art played a role in not exploding Gob to the masses. This is a major label release and Gob was/is huge in Canada. Even with the aforementioned stumbles, I still think this record is a classic and should be more widely appreciated. The melodies are unique, the guitars cut through the speakers like machetes, and the drums pulse right into the center of the chest. The drums sound about as good as any recorded drum set that I can think of. The song I'm highlighting is called "I Cut Myself, Too". There you have it! Another Flashback Friday. Check out this album and if you love it, you might check out the rest of Gob's catalogue. The singer is currently playing guitar in Sum 41. But I hope I get the chance to see them live again.

The guys revisit some of their favorite releases from Drive-Thru records by Finch, Midtown, and The Benjamins. Will they remain favorites as the dudes are pushing 40? Also, Nick doesn't do his homework, Chris gets drunk, and Jay tries to hold it all together. Oh, and Mark Trombino's donut shop.

It's almost time for Jimmy Eat World's Phoenix Sessions livestream—but first, bassist Rick Burch and drummer Zach Lind sat down to chat with Gunz about the virtual show. In the third installment of the band's livestream series, they'll play through fan-favorite album Clarity. Listen in as they chat about revisiting the songs, reminisce on working with producer Mark Trombino, and discuss the art of connecting with others via a screen. Phoenix Sessions: Chapter III - Clarity starts at 5pm ET on 2/12.

This week your boys decide they need new names, so please welcome Brenocide, Joe Thrasnkool, and uhhhh... 365 Days of Horror. Breno remembers Alexi Laiho (1979-2020) and music that impacted us in high school. We're delving into the punk rock donut shop union busting going on by former Drive Like Jehu drummer and punk producer Mark Trombino. Not very punk rock! Joe tracked down an old external hard drive and we're talking about the CANCELLED MySpace-era shit we used to listen to that is thankfully lost to the sands of time, old MP3 players increasing in value, and other Old Ways in Music. Finally, we're talking about Jon Schaffer getting arrested and speculating WILDLY on what will happen next (with a musical contribution). It's a good one.

In this episode, I'll be discussing the album "Bleed American" by the band Jimmy Eat World. I do a deep dive on the history surrounding the album. Bleed American is the fourth studio album by American rock band Jimmy Eat World, released on July 24, 2001, by DreamWorks Records. Originally released as Bleed American, it was re-released as Jimmy Eat World following the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., which took place seven weeks after its initial release. The Jimmy Eat World title stayed until 2008 upon its re-release with its original title returned. Following a lack of recognition for their third studio album Clarity (1999) from Capitol Records, the band departed from the label in late 1999. Aside from working odd jobs, the band toured to raise money for their next album. It was recorded with Mark Trombino and the band as producers in Los Angeles in October and November 2000 at the Cherokee and Harddrive studios. The musical style was more direct and accessible than its predecessor, with simpler chord structures. "Bleed American" was released to radio on June 5, 2001 as the album's lead single, coinciding with tours of Australia and Japan (the latter supporting Eastern Youth). After appearing on the East Coast dates of the Warped Tour, the band supported Blink-182 and Weezer. "The Middle" was released as a single on November 19, 2001. The band went on a headlining European tour in early 2002, followed by a Japanese tour, leading up to a two-month support slot for Blink-182 and Green Day on their Pop Disaster Tour. "Sweetness" was released as the third single on June 3, 2002. The band supported Incubus in Australia, before embarking on headlining tours of the UK and the US. "A Praise Chorus" was released as a promotional single during 2002. LET'S CONNECT: Kyle's Instagram Kyle's Facebook Email: Kyledevlinfitness@gmail.com

Formed in Evansville, IN during the late 90's, Mock Orange gained a devoted following amongst indie-rock circles for progressive, whiplash time signatures, buoyed by sentimental yet urgent lyrics. Though the quartet's debut album Nines & Sixes provided an addictive and aggressive spark, 2000's The Record Play delivered a deeper and more nuanced emotional payout: Singer/guitarist Ryan Grisham's wordplay (drenched in poetic metaphors on time and distance), drummer Heath Metzger's prog-like precision and the clear, masterful production style of Mark Trombino made the album somewhat of an underground touchstone for early 2000's emo. On today's show, Ryan talks about piecing together the thematic nature of The Record Play two decades later, why turning 40 gave him a new outlook on the band's first album and how he managed -- long before iPods -- to play his beloved 7" collection on the road. This episode also features the WORLD PREMIERE of the band's new single "So Maybe," from their upcoming EP The Bridge, their first release in nearly four years. Vinyl for both The Bridge, as well as a 20th anniversary repress of The Record Play, will be available for pre-order via mockorange.net later this month.

We are joined by Chris Messer, singer of Chicago pop punk band Showoff and owner of Dodgeball Records. Chris goes into detail about Showoff's early days and how they became the first band to record with mega producer John Feldmann. We discuss the sophomore effort recorded with Mark Trombino and the crazy reasons that that album never saw the light of day. Chris candidly tells us about the disgraceful behaviour of a certain band that were huge in the 90s. We talk about the years in other bands including The Get Go, and why he wasn't keen on joining Fall Out Boy when he had the chance.  Check out Showoff's music and Dodgeball Records bands Amuse and Decent Criminal. thewastingtimepodcast@gmail.com iTunes Instagram Twitter Facebook

Gyroscope: Forming originally as Gyroscope Sunday in 1997, Dan Sanders (lead vocals, guitar), Zoran Trivic (lead guitar), Brad Campbell (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Rob Nassif (drums) cut their teeth jamming Nirvana and Foo Fighters covers. After releasing their first set of original demo’s in 1998 the band scored support slots for international punks Millencolin and Unwritten law, as well as local favourites The Living End and 28 Days. A total of 3 EP’s were released before the band signed to Festival Mushroom Records at the beginning of 2003. This led to the release of the Midnight Express and Driving For The Storm/Doctor Doctor EP’s, both which gained national airplay and helped build momentum for their debut long player. Combining new material with previous tracks from their aforementioned EP’s, Sound Shattering Sound was Gyro’s breakthrough LP in 2004. The success of the release earned them supports for Blink 182, Dashboard Confessional, Sparta and Brand New, as well as their first national headline tour. The band quickly headed to LA to begin work on the follow up, 2005’s Are You Involved?. Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus had original agreed to produce the album after seeing the band live during their support stint, but pulled out due to other commitments. Stepping up in his place was Mark Trombino, who was no slouch, previously working on records from Jimmy Eat World and Finch. Released in September, Are You Involved? peaked at No. 20 on the ARIA album charts. First cut Fast Girl also earned the band a nomination for the Breakthrough Artist - Single category at 2006’s ARIA awards. Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Idlewild) signed on to produce Gyroscope’s next record, which was tracked at Elevator Studios in Liverpool. These sessions became 2007’s Breed Obsession, the bands 3rd and most successful album to date. Debuting at No. 1 on the ARIA album charts, thanks to the popularity of lead single Snakeskin, Breed Obsession was certified gold within 6 months of its initial release. It also earned them another ARIA nomination, this time for Best Rock Album at the 2008 awards ceremony, After completing yet another national tour, this time with mates The Living End, Gyro’s headed back to the UK to record with legendary producer Gil Norton (Pixies, Maximo Park, Foo Fighters) at Rockfield Studios. Cohesion was eventually released in 2010, debuting at No. 3. After extensive touring in support of the release the band went into an enforced hiatus when guitarist Zoran Trivic broke both his legs in a motorcycle accident. 2017 saw the band release new music for the first time in 7 years, in the form of a double A side single Crooked Thought/DABS. This set was taken from the tour in support of these two releases and includes songs spanning their entire career. Recorded at the Woolly Mammoth Alehouse in Brisbane on the 10th of January 2018. Recorded by Branko Cosic & mixed by Reuben Aptroot.

I met John Frazier in college when he was working at Tooth and Nail/Solid State Records. We’d nerd out about bands and stayed in touch over the years. Now, he runs an amazing label called Spartan Records. Go support, listen, buy something from the label if you get a chance. Great person and a great friend. Just a few weeks ago, he sends me this Mineral interview out of the blue. I am blown away by it. He told me in a subsequent email that it was a Mineral interview he did 20 years ago while they were on tour with Jimmy Eat World and Sense Field at Twisters in Richmond, Virginia on March 1st, 1997. John was street teaming for Crank! Records at the time and was program director for James Madison University’s radio station WXJM. He was doing the interview for a zine he made for the radio station. The street team participation John did led him to the job at Crank! which started him on his career. The interview is with Chris and Gabe in their van. While John was doing it, Jimmy Eat World was in the middle of their set. Fun things to note for timing, the band had released “The Power of Failing” as was at work on “EndSerending” with the producer Mark Trombino. It’s candid, so I left everything in there. At around 5:35 into the interview, they’re approached by a parking enforcement guy who claims they didn’t pay to park and they go back and forth over the $3 parking fee. Later on in the interview, they recount the whole story to someone else. If there’s any charm or insight into the BS of touring life, that’s it. Hope you enjoy this piece of history and thanks to John for sharing it with Washed Up Emo. Go check out Spartan Records and support John. Remember, this was 1997 so the sound quality, i’ve EQ’d a lot but also it’s 1997, so bear with it and enjoy the sounds of analog for 15 minutes. Complaints can be send to the emo council. admin@washedupemo.com Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/washedupemo)

Episode 92 is with producer, musician and Donut Friend owner Mark Trombino. Mark has had a huge impact on the independent scene not just drumming for Drive Like Jehu but for being a producer, mixer or engineer on some of the most important records of emo. From Boilermaker, Garden Variety, Knapsack, No Knife, Rocket from the Crypt, Mineral, The Jealous Sound, Finch, The Starting Line, Weston, Motion City Soundtrack, Pinback, All Time Low just to name a few… and of course can’t forget his work with Blink-182 and Jimmy Eat World. We discuss growing up in Orange County, CA, his time in college learning how to record plus insight into many of the albums he was a part of and how his talents had to evolve as emo hit the boom in the mid 2000s. I also ask extensively about working with Jimmy Eat World and learn why “Goodbye Sky Harbor” was sixteen minutes. Finally, we spend time talking about his most recent success, Donut Friend. Mark explains how he started the store, the donut puns and the time Ian from Fugazi came into the shop. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/washedupemo)

Although they were only active for five years during their initial run, Drive Like Jehu was one of the most beloved and influential rock bands of the 90s. Mark Trombino's grooves, which achieved a crucial balance between cerebral cleverness and visceral power, were--in part--the product of his obsessive nature. He tells Joe about how, after the band broke up, he was able to channel his perfectionism into a successful career as a producer, and yet another career as a restaurateur.

Episode 21 - This week Shane talks to Jenna McDougall of Australian pop-rock-punk group Tonight Alive. Fresh off of a new album which shows some dramatic departures in style, they discuss the conscious decision to take risks, their approach to writing lyrics, Jenna's constantly evolving image, and what it was like to drop out of school at age 17 to make a record in LA with legendary producer Mark Trombino.

Ep. 99 - This week's podcast guest Mark Trombino is not only the producer behind such huge albums as Blink 182's "Dude Ranch" and Jimmy Eat World's "Bleed American" but he is also owns a new doughnut shop in Los Angeles called Donut Friend!  Zach talks to him at the very beginning about San Diego burritos, but most of the podcast is about doughnuts (naturally.)Get more info about his shop at www.donutfriend.com 

On this episode, I chat with Knapsack drummer Colby Mancasola about the origins of the band, working with Mark Trombino, never having a website and hearing the “next big thing” thrown around in a post-Nirvana world. Plus, find out what the famous record executive Jimmy Iovine said to Knapsack after a showcase in Los Angeles. It’s exactly what you think he would say. It was great to hear their story told and to learn how many bands that we know and love all intersected at one point on tour or in conversation with Knapsack.
