#556 MONSTER MUSIC MONDAY - The episode focuses on reviewing and providing feedback on music submissions from listeners. - Submissions are accepted via the Mike Herrera Podcast Facebook group, where artists can share their YouTube links. - Critiques various aspects of the submitted songs, including production quality, vocal performance, and song structure. - Offers constructive criticism and praise, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement in each submission. Some Advice and Tactics: Avoid Excessive Auto-Tune - Use auto-tune sparingly and only as an effect. Overuse can detract from the authenticity of the vocal performance, especially in genres like punk rock. Simplify Intros - Keep the intro of your song short and engaging. Long intros or unnecessary samples can cause listeners to lose interest before the main part of the song begins. Focus on Production Quality - Invest time and resources into ensuring high-quality production. Good production can significantly enhance the listening experience and make your music more appealing to a wider audience. Duh! Monster Music Monday Submissions: 1. BEN TROUBLES - BREAK THIS BALL AND CHAIN New submission for Music Monday. Punk Rock from North Carolina, Y'all. Enjoy! 2. OLD TOWN ZERO - GRAPEFRUIT A little side project about getting all my old and new music out. This was me at 19 years young. I'm now 46 and still making silly songs.

Chris “Knuckles” Nilan - On how to never back down and never stay down! Legendary, Chris Nilan played a crucial role in the Canadiens' 1986 Stanley Cup victory. He earned every minute of the 688 NHL regular season games he played, patrolling the right-wing for the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins and New York Rangers. Fiercely loyal to his teammates and his club, Chris answered the call every time, racking up over 3,000 penalty minutes during his pro career, many of them earned against some of the toughest players the NHL has ever seen. Listen to his story this week on the Mike Herrera Podcast! Follow and find Chris online here - Knucklesnilan.com The Raw Knuckles Podcast --- “Set A Fire” the New MXPX Song is out everywhere NOW!

The last NOFX weekend was one for the books. @tomwisniewski and I sat down to recap the madness—from our @mxpxpx set on Friday, singing and playing with Descendents on Saturday night in Hermosa Beach, to the insane finale on Sunday. We joined 40+ musicians for The Decline, and let's just say Fletcher de Pennywise didn't hold back…
