On this episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Ben DeHan & Lauren White! Based out of Baltimore, Ben and Lauren are not only a musical duo, but also husband and wife-to-be. With Lauren on the cello and Ben handling vocals and guitar, the pair has a pop-punk sound described as somewhere between Machine Gun Kelly and Angels & Airwaves. Lauren's playing paired with Ben's heartfelt vocals and guitar chops gives their sound a unique, emotive feel that helps them stand out and resonate with listeners. In September, Ben released his debut EP entitled New Nostalgia. The five-track EP was produced by Sam Pura, who's worked with the likes of The Dangerous Summer, Hundredth, State Champs and The Story So Far, among others. On this episode, Ben & Lauren talk with Mike about how they met, Ben not initially knowing that Lauren played a mean cello, their earliest musical memories, making New Nostalgia, their musical synergy, working with the aforementioned Sam Pura, Toledo accents, and more. This episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman also features Ben & Lauren's track "Think I Want" off of New Nostalgia, available where you get your music!

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!

YO! I am so stoked to bring you this episode! SAM PURA! He was such an awesome dude to talk to, and I was excited to talk about Bone Cutter and the H3 story!

The music video for I Miss You turns 15 years old and the guys go deep. They discuss the first time they heard the song, what the hell is going on in the video, how did Blink-182 wind up in this haunted house in the first place, who are these women and why are they dead, and the cultural impact this video had on emo and the subculture it existed in. Tom announces a new podcast he’s launching next year with some insanely exciting guests, Pat asks the deep questions of does being familiar with 50 year old music even matter, and Tom gets loud and swears a lot.

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.

MakeDamnSure is a song that captivated the iPod Nano’s of everyone in our sophomore high school class. The guitar riffs are infectious, the melodies carry every adolescent emo heart away to the darkest corner of their angst, and the lyrics are weirdly poetic and altogether confusing. But, unfortunately, the music video kinda sucks. This week the guys break down the shot list with insider information from some behind-the-scenes footage that originally aired on MTV2, take a dive into the lyrics, ultimately disagreeing on what the song actually means, then discuss plans for next week when Tylor Swift announces something on midnight April 26th.     Links: MakeDamnSure Music Video Making of the Music Video pt. 1 Making of the Music Video pt. 2 Taking Back Sunday's Tell All Your Friends v.

On this episode I talk to Sam Pura about modern production and how the new The Story So Far record Proper Dose was made. I want to tell you about JZ Microphones The Black Hole Series, BH2 and BH1S which are the result of relentless improvement of technology, spanning more than 30 years. The mic wows you with clarity and richness. They incorporate a Golden Drop Capsule technology; using this innovation, the capsule’s diaphragm is lighter; therefore, it moves much faster and deliver more clarity, precision as well as reduce colourations and distortions. These handcrafted studio microphones are designed for producers and are already used by world-class producers like Rafa Sardina, Thom Russo, Marc Urselli, Sylvia Massy, Rob Chiarelli and many others. They incorporate a Golden Drop Capsule technology. Right now 50% off for Black Hole series microphones.

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.

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
