In this episode of Caught On The Mike, I sit down with Stand Atlantic for a conversation about their evolution, finding their identity after more than a decade together, and the freedom that comes with finally being comfortable with who you are.We talk about the band's new era, the decision to embrace happiness and genuine connection in their songwriting, and the raw, live approach they took while making their upcoming fifth album, GODBREATH.Stand Atlantic released their latest single, “NEXT2U,” on September 25. The song puts a different spin on the traditional love song, focusing on chosen family, friendship, homesickness, and the people who make you feel at home when you're away. “NEXT2U” is the final single ahead of GODBREATH, which arrives October 23 via Virgin Music Group.We also talk about longevity versus chasing viral moments, staying authentic in an increasingly processed music landscape, and what the next chapter looks like for a band that has already built a global audience with more than 500 million streams and tours alongside artists including A Day To Remember, I Prevail, Simple Plan, Story of the Year and Silverstein.www.caughtonthemike.comcaughtonthemike@gmail.com

"Lift Me Up" Over the course of a series of critically-acclaimed and best-selling albums like I Bificus, Superbeautifulmonster and 2024's Champion, Bif Naked has established herself as one of the most dynamic and arresting artists you're likely to run into. The Canadian singer/songwriter's refusal to be categorized has been the secret to her being able to move through genres like EDM and Pop-Punk and with artistic ease. Her I Bifficus memoir is an essential read and it details a life that found her moving from New Delhi to Kentucky to Manitoba. Bif Naked has played with everyone from Green Day to Sarah McLachlan to The Cult, she's released a spoken word record, voiced video games, appeared in videos by Moist and A Simple Plan, and acted in everything from Buffy The Vampire Slayer to The L Word. To get an idea of how fearless, bold and groundbreaking she is, the documentary One Of A Kind will give you a generous glimpse of the power and grace of Bif Naked. The pleading ache of her new single "Lift Me Up" finds Bif Naked sounding better than ever. Yes, she's busy, but we fit in a little chat. "Pathways" Filled with glimmering synths, jangling acoustic guitars and swirling psychedelia, Meltt's new album Pathways is one of the year's great pleasures. The Vancouver outfit's fourth effort is a sonorous and ethereal blend of catchy hooks, dreamy melodies and percussive invention. Comprised of childhood chums singer/guitarist Chris Smith, drummer Jamie Turner, guitarist James Porter and bassist Ian Winkler, Meltt's sound brings to mind everyone from The Stone Roses to the Crystal Fighters. The band is on the road as we speak and that's where I caught them. So let's meet Meltt. www.bifnaked.com www.meltt.bandcamp.com (http://www.meltt.bandcamp.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers: Threads + Bluesky + IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

ZEBRAHEAD | STILL LOUD, STILL HUNGRY, STILL CHARGING FORWARDThree decades into their career, zebrahead has absolutely no interest in slowing down.On this episode of Caught on the Mike, I'm joined by vocalist/rapper Ali Tabatabaee and vocalist/guitarist Adrian Estrella of zebrahead for a conversation about longevity, evolution, DIY independence, life on the road, and what keeps a band going after nearly 30 years.Formed during the legendary Orange County punk explosion, zebrahead has built a career that includes more than two million albums sold worldwide, a Grammy nomination for their collaboration with Motörhead, major festival appearances around the globe, and an incredibly dedicated international fanbase.We also dig into the band's new O EP, the final installment in their ambitious III, II, I, O conceptual series. Ali and Adrian talk about pushing the band's sound further, blending punk energy, hip-hop swagger, metallic riffs and huge melodies, and why they believe these new songs could be some of the best they've ever written.We get into what it was like for Adrian to step into a band with such a massive history, how zebrahead's decision to embrace a fully DIY approach changed the way they operate, the band's incredible relationship with international fans, and why the live show continues to be at the heart of everything they do.After three decades, countless lineup changes, a constantly shifting music industry and thousands of shows, zebrahead isn't looking backward.They're still evolving. They're still having fun. And they're still ready to kick ass.www.caughtonthemike.comcaughtonthemike@gmail.com 

This week on Baxie's Musical Podcast I'll speak with legendary guitarist Stephen Egerton from The Descendents! This was an interview that I had been pursuing for years. And it completely exceeded my expectations. Stephen has spent the last 40 years playing with the band that single handedly invented the entire Pop Punk genre. With classic albums like Milo Goes to College, All, and Everything Sux the Descendents have become one of the most enduring and highly respected bands in America (with one of the greatest back stories of all time). Stephen talks about the band, the life-or-death comeback of drummer Bill Stevenson, lead singer Milo Aukerman's commitments to science, and all about lessons learned while in the band ALL! top of that we talk about his upcoming solo album “I Think You're Overthinking This” which comes out on September 11 (recorded in part at Abby Road studios). And the whole story behind that is absolutely amazing as well. This is one that you'd be crazy to miss! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and the Rock102 app. Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee!

The guys talk about their recent run of shows, including sharing stages with 311, Dirty Heads and Ocean Alley, as well as the completely unique experience of performing with the Savannah Bananas at Petco Park. We get into what makes those shows different, how their live performance has evolved, and what it's like watching the opportunities continue to get bigger.And then there's the music.Their latest single, “Deeper Blue,” is out now, with two more singles scheduled to arrive later this year. We talk about the direction they're heading creatively, what fans can expect from those upcoming releases, and the band's next full-length record, tentatively scheduled for February.It's a conversation about three longtime friends who have grown up together, built a band together, and are still pushing themselves to see how far they can take it.www.caughtonthemike.comcaughtonthemike@gmail.com

Pop-punk is one of those musical contradictions that somehow makes perfect sense. Punk was supposed to be loud, fast, and rebellious. Pop was all about hooks and mass appeal. But somewhere along the way, the two got together and created one of the biggest movements in alternative rock. In part two, we pick up the story in the early 1990s as grunge begins to fade and bands like Green Day, The Offspring, Rancid, and Bad Religion help bring punk into the mainstream. From the explosion of Dookie and Smash to the rise of the Warped Tour and the global success of Blink-182, we'll look at how pop-punk went from underground clubs to selling millions of records around the world.  We'll also explore the backlash from punk purists, the genre's evolution through the 2000s, and why pop-punk continues to find new generations of fans decades later. Whether you grew up on Green Day and Sum 41 or you're just discovering the genre, this is the story of how punk and pop became one of rock's most unlikely partnerships.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Evan Lawrence, singer of Johnny Baseball, joins Parking Lot Hands for an expansive conversation about Salt Lake City and Ogden hardcore, melodic punk, songwriting, scene history, and the future of one of Utah's most exciting hardcore-rooted pop-punk bands.Evan begins with his introduction to live music: seeing The Acacia Strain and Impending Doom, discovering local hardcore through One Clean Life at Mojo's, and watching a new generation of Ogden bands establish itself within the Salt Lake scene. He reflects on learning drums, playing in early metalcore bands, and starting Johnny Baseball with friends in the early 2010s. The side project played early shows with Citizen and Turnover before disappearing as its members left for college, careers, and adult life. Years later, Evan revived the name with a clearer sense of purpose.The conversation explores the difference between a pop-punk band and a pop-punk band that comes from hardcore. Evan discusses New Found Glory, Saves the Day, Lifetime, The Movielife, Title Fight, and Polar Bear Club, along with the ethics and community connecting those bands to hardcore even when their sound crosses genre lines. He explains how Johnny Baseball evolved from melancholic early material into the fast, melodic, riff-heavy band it is today—and learned to balance giant hooks with unmistakable hardcore DNA.Evan opens up about his creative process, from improvising melodies as a kid to filling his phone with voice memos whenever inspiration appears. He talks about writing honest, relatable lyrics and using Johnny Baseball as an outlet for frustration, bitterness, humor, and hope. That includes a closer look at “Good Dudes Back Hard,” confronting abuse and harmful behavior within music communities, and why authenticity matters more than adopting the aesthetics of a scene.The episode gets inside Johnny Baseball's recording process and the influence of drummer, musician, and Grotto Audio producer Nic Kartchner. Evan explains why intentionality is essential in the studio, whether a band arrives with a finished song or an idea still searching for its defining moments. He shares practical advice for young bands and reflects on the value of honest collaboration with a producer who can capture emotion and personality.Johnny Baseball's live shows are an experience of their own. Evan talks about the band's 2023 return, the humor and spontaneity behind its performances, and its very real budget for hundreds of inflatable baseball bats. He discusses playing mixed bills, creating a space where people can have fun without abandoning substance, and building momentum through consistent releases, touring, and long-term goals.From there, the conversation widens into a celebration of hardcore across generations. Evan makes the case for a youth crew renaissance, more fast punk, more circle pits, and renewed hope alongside hardcore's necessary anger. He recommends Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, New Brigade, Time Heist, The Rival Mob, and Anklebiter, while explaining what the current Salt Lake scene gets right and why a thriving local community should never be taken for granted.There is plenty of deep-cut music talk, too: Snapcase's Progression Through Unlearning, Victory Records mail-order catalogs, early sets from Title Fight and Citizen, and favorite album artwork from Converge, Coalesce, Ink & Dagger, Judge, and Seven Angels Seven Plagues. Evan also looks ahead to Johnny Baseball's next chapter: bigger hooks, a bigger sound, faster songs, heavier hardcore elements, more touring, and a stronger version of everything that already makes the band distinct.Plus, the episode answers the truly important questions: Which Salt Lake bands could Evan front after a hypothetical Thanos snap? Could Johnny Baseball win a local-band baseball tournament? How competitive can Mario Kart become on tour? And if the rulebook does not explicitly prohibit bunting off a tee, is it really cheating?

Joe wanted to get in on the album fun.

Some conversations feel like they're years in the making. This one has been nearly three decades.John Feldmann, frontman of Goldfinger, Grammy-nominated producer, songwriter, A&R visionary, and one of the most influential architects of modern punk rock- joins me for a conversation I'll never forget.Goldfinger has been part of my life since the late '90s. I saw the band tear through Midwest clubs, covered their songs with my own ska band, watched them become one of the defining acts of the third-wave ska movement, and years later found myself introducing their music to my son, who insisted on hearing "Mable" (or as he called it, "the She's the bomb song") every time we got in the car. Sitting down with John felt like one of those rare full-circle moments that reminds me why I started Caught On The Mike.We dive into Goldfinger's incredible journey, the stories behind the band's longevity, and the making of their latest album, Nine Lives. John also pulls back the curtain on a career that extends far beyond Goldfinger. As a producer and songwriter, he's helped shape the sound of generations, working with artists including Blink-182, Good Charlotte, The Used, Story of the Year, 5 Seconds of Summer, All Time Low, Panic! At The Disco, Sleeping With Sirens, Black Veil Brides, Avril Lavigne, and countless others. We talk about discovering talent, making timeless records, navigating an ever-changing music industry, and what separates artists who last from those who fade away.Whether you know John Feldmann as the voice of Goldfinger, the producer behind some of the biggest rock records of the last 30 years, or the creative force who has helped launch and develop countless artists, this is a conversation about passion, perseverance, reinvention, and leaving a legacy that continues to inspire musicians and fans alike.www.caughtonthemike.comcaughtonthemike@gmail.com

"My temple is twinned, my icky is thumped, and my asylum is Kia." The hosts break down country artist Charley Crockett's decision to drop the satanic doo-wop duo Twin Temple from his tour schedule. The situation took an unexpected turn when rock icon Jack White stepped in to save the day, offering Twin Temple an opening slot at the Hollywood Palladium. This leads the hosts to debate whether the entire falling out was a genuinely naive booking blunder or a cleverly orchestrated PR stunt meant to drive headlines and attention for both parties. The hosts explore the viral internet concept known as the "Kia Asylum" (or Kya Asylum). They explain how the term describes pop stars, one-hit wonders, and alternative acts whose careers get stalled or shelved by labels after failing to replicate the massive commercial success of an early hit single. The discussion covers mainstream pop figures like Lizzo, Bebe Rexha, and Kim Petras, analyzing the difference between having a fleeting viral hit and cultivating a sustainable, long-term fanbase.

"A lot of news is just discourse. And I'm like, that's not news... News is when a band announces like a tour. That's news."  A massive portion of what is presented as "music news" today isn't actually news at all; it's social media discourse. Through a mix of industry critique, and scene nostalgia Brian and Lizzie explore how stan culture and algorithmic metrics have fundamentally broken the way we talk about art. They dissect the sudden resurgence of the two-year-old drama between music critic Anthony Fantano and pop-alternative star Halsey. Is it a case of "main character syndrome," or a deeper look into the death of traditional music criticism? Plus, stick around to hear our thoughts on the latest music releases they're currently listening to.    JOIN THE CLUB!
