Hello! Mikey here. Okay so, you guys already know I did the Sam Pura interview. Y'all already know I did the Heavy Heavy Low Low reunion interview. Today, I present to you the trifecta....the Bone Cutter interview! I am happy to call these dudes my friends and I am insanely proud of them for their new Bone Cutter EP. This interview was a lot of fun. The best part about the Heavy extended universe is that each member is uniquely interesting in their own right. I recommend following all of these dudes on social media if you enjoy having a good time. Links below. Anywhose, "Bone Cutter formed from the scattered pieces of heavyheavylowlow, cosmically glued together through time, space and place by the squirming hands of Sam Pura of The Panda Studios. The result is a shining knife of punk rock fury reflecting the flickering stars of grind, pop and metal." So to answer your question...no, Bone Cutter does not include Danny Rankin, Matthew Caudle, or Chip Madden. The lineup consists of Robbie Smith, Sam Pura, Andrew Fritter, and Chris Fritter. What makes their debut EP so special is that the instrumentals were recorded back in 2011. So this record literally is a blast from the past. It wasn't until this year that Robbie recorded his vocal parts. We talk all things Bone Cutter related and even discuss some Heavy lore. I hope you guys enjoy the content!

Sam Pura is a producer/audio engineer who owns The Panda Studios in Fremont, CA. He has worked with bands such as The Story So Far, State Champs, Hundredth, Basement, and more. I recently spent some time recording drums for Hundredth in his studio and had the opportunity to get to know him better, so I figured it was time for a podcast! We talked about his obsession with drum tones, how he can tell if he's created the art he envisioned, and why he'd rather be Kanye West than Jay-Z.

Snow is still falling at the Dropbear and Panda Studios and there's word climate change isn't messing around anymore. From Italy to Indonesia, the Florida Panhandle to Ireland; things are pretty messed up but we make the best of it. In a few days marijuana is becomes legal in Canada, so that should help. We talk theatre, octopus comedy, why Dropbear shouldn't wear crappy shoes, and how Panda and the Scorpio Theatre team killed it during their run of "Women Playing Hamlet".

In this special episode, Sam Pura, the owner and chief engineer at The Panda Studios, and long-time producer of The Story So Far’s records joins Tom for a really interesting conversation about all that went in to the making of their latest album, Proper Dose. The conversation covered a lot of ground, from the struggles that went into making the record, some really amazing and out-of-the-box recording techniques, the unfortunate crime that is audio engineering school, and maybe a Beatles joke or two. Proper Dose is available now!

I hang out with my best friend, Sam, and talk about how he strategically put together The Panda Studios in Fremont, CA, adjusting to the married/home-owner life, and how creating music should be about passion, not vanity. Sam also does his own podcast called "Best Friends with Sam Pura." Go subscribe to that! NOTE: from about 15’-31’ there’s a weird hum that slowly gets quieter and quieter (and eventually completely goes away) that also could not be filtered out with a noise gate. Apologies. This conversation is sick, though. Enjoy. Theme song originally produced, mixed, and mastered by Casey Benz. Follow Sam on: Instagram: @sampura Twitter: @sampura

The Moose talk about with Alex on Radio One Chicago! Moulded by Chicago’s thriving local music scene, and formed in the the city’s western suburbs in 2012, The Moose is comprised of brothers Mitch (bass) and Matt (lead vocals/guitar) Bellock, and childhood pal Dave Catanese (drums). With heavy influences from bands like Manchester Orchestra, The White Stripes, Every Time I Die, and Pearl Jam, the group’s cathartic ballads present a constant lyrical clash between fiction and non fiction, driven by heavy handed, powerful chords laced with subtle complexities, and underscored with smooth but intricate bass parts that tend to take the place of lead guitar. The trio released their latest EP, “No Wick,” in February 2017. No Wick is the sister EP to its predecessor, “All Wax” (June 2016). After a recent recording session at noteworthy Panda Studios in California, The Moose has an LP in their back pocket, with plans to release new music in the new year. Radio One Chicago airs live every Thursday on WLUW-FM, 88.7 from 6p to 8p cst.!
