The latest episode of The BrooklynVegan Show is an interview with Knapsack. Knapsack were initially around between 1993 and 2000, during which time they released three great albums, and those albums were massively influential on the early 2000s emo boom, and they continue to age gracefully and influence new bands today. One of the reasons we had this conversation is that Knapsack are finally giving their albums long-awaited vinyl reissues via Spartan Records with bonus tracks, and BrooklynVegan is thrilled to be offering exclusive color variants of each one: 1995's Silver Sweepstakes on purple vinyl, 1997's Day Three of My New Life on green vinyl, and and 1998's This Conversation Is Ending Starting Right Now on baby blue vinyl. All three are limited to 300 each and available now in the BrooklynVegan store. The conversation was between singer/songwriter Blair Shehan (also of The Jealous Sound), drummer Colby Mancasola, guitarist Sergie Loobkoff (also of Samiam, who just announced their first album in 12 years), and myself, and we spoke about the possibility of new music and another live reunion ("I would totally be down for it," Blair said of the latter); the word "emo" and how it means different things to different people; how Knapsack befriended bands like Mineral, Christie Front Drive, and Boys Life (who contributed to the new book accompanying the reissues; and more.

Zach Gehring is known for being the guitarist in the band Mae (Tooth & Nail Records / Capital Records), Demons (Spartan Records), and Unsung Zeros (Eulogy Recordings). I've known Zach for a bit and it was good to sit down and talk about all the musical endeavors Zach has had in his life. It was awesome to talk in depth about The Mae Records "The Everglow" and "Singularity" as well as what he is up to currently. I Hope you enjoy this awesome conversation with Zach Gehring!

Big A is back from an end of year hiatus and takes Episode 145 of TGS to reflect on the year that was 2022 and some positive thoughts on the year ahead, 2023. Last year was tough for many people for many different reasons but we're all hoping for a fresh start moving forward, beginning with the release of AE's first and only solo record called 'Everything' due out on Spartan Records on Jan 6th 2023 with a big release show at the Empty Bottle in Chicago the same day. There are always many irons in the fire for our hero and this year is no different. With the release of 'Everything' new possibilities are opened, while the joy and beauty of creating continues to pay big dividends in the emotional, intellectual and sometimes financial well-being for those who are creators and take the leap of faith to live this unique hustle. 

This week's guest is Mike Reed. These days, Reed can be heard as the guitarist and vocalist of 84 Tigers, a tremendous Michigan-based project that's preparing to release their debut album, Time In The Lighthouse, on Spartan Records this fall. Prior to that album's Oct. 21 release and the band's upcoming appearance at The Fest, Reed spoke with My First Band host Tyler Maas about the formation of his new band, the process of writing and recording the forthcoming album and what the near future holds for 84 Tigers. Of course, the interview also touched upon Reed's years in legendary Midwest emo outfit Small Brown Bike, as well as LaSalle, Able Baker Fox, his solo material and even his first band ever. Along the way, Reed discussed booking noted punk bands at a rural Michigan community center as a high schooler, memorable Small Brown Bike tours with Hot Water Music and Cursive, and how his approach and expectations he has for 84 Tigers differs from his past projects. My First Band is sponsored by Mystery Room Mastering and Lakefront Brewery. The show is edited by Jared Blohm.

We also chat about Keith's record label New Granada & his record store Microgroove, which if you ever find yourself in the Tampa area, I highly recommend.

Midwestern rock and roll fans rejoice because this week's guest is the great Allen Epley. You likely know Epley as the vocalist and guitarist of Shiner and The Life And Times, as the host of the Third Gear Scratch podcast, and as a member of BirdHands and the backing band of the Chicago Blue Man Group. He's up to a lot at the moment, including a Shiner tour (and the upcoming vinyl re-release of the band's entire catalog via Spartan Records) and writing a new The Life And Times record. Between the busy modern happenings and his decades of amazing artistic experiences, Epley had a lot to talk about when he took some time to speak with My First Band host Tyler Maas recently. After catching up on contemporary events, Epley talked about growing up in a musical family in Louisville, starting a cover band in college, the early days and significant moments from his decades in Shiner, shifting focus with The Life And Times, and why missing out on major label opportunities was a blessing in disguise.

Today, we welcome Johnathon Ford from Unwed Sailor and Roadside Monument. Johnathon and I have been trying to make this happen for years as we’d connect via mutual friends or at a show. Most recently in Brooklyn back before the pandemic we ended up talking for a long time after an Unwed Sailor show and it went places where you don’t expect a conversation to go and all the sudden you get a text or the bartender goes, “yea it’s closing time.” I wanted to do that again so I got Johnathon to come back on to talk about his music career from his early bands to Roadside Monument and his latest album “Truth or Consequences” that is out now on Spartan Records. As with any guests that got to take in the 80s, I was smitten with his stories of Seattle, Tulsa, and what laid the groundwork for his musical taste, ideals, but also where he is today. If you’ve never heard of either band, they are bedrocks for this scene and worth your time to dive into. If you have and looking to hear Johnathon speak at length about his life, you’re going to love this too.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Whether you know William Goldsmith as a founding member of Sunny Day Real Estate, as the original drummer of Foo Fighters or from his time in the short-lived-but-outstanding band The Fire Theft, you're absolutely aware of his work. Following his tenures in those world-renowned projects, the accomplished percussionist — citing "musical PTSD" (and actual PTSD) — recently ended his decade-long hiatus from playing music to get back behind the kit with Assertion. A few weeks removed from the release of his new band's debut album on Spartan Records, Goldsmith spoke to My First Band host Tyler Maas about his decision to return to drumming, the response the new record has been getting and his renewed musical motivation. Of course, the conversation also turned to his past work. Over the course of the conversation, Goldsmith talked about growing up in Seattle and quickly taking to the drums, early on-stage experiences in middle school and high school bands, meeting Jeremy Enigk and playing together in a hardcore band called Reason For Hate, the project that eventually turned into Sunny Day, being invited to jam with Dave Grohl, memorable anecdotes from his time in Foo Fighters, and much more. My First Band is sponsored by Mystery Room Mastering and Lakefront Brewery. The show is edited by Jared Blohm. You can listen to My First Band on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify and wherever else you get podcasts. You can also listen to rebroadcasts of previous My First Band episodes on WMSE every Wednesday from noon to 12:30 p.m. CST. Music used in this episode comes courtesy of Devils Teeth ("The Junction Street Eight Tigers") and Assertion ("Set Fire").

Assertion is a new melodic rock band from the Northwest that features former Sunny Day Real Estate, Foo Fighters and the Fire Theft drummer William Goldsmith.  I spoke with the band about their backstory, life during the pandemic, playing music with their children and the new album. This interview also features four brand new songs from the album "Intermission" on Spartan Records. 

William Goldsmith has played drums for over 20 years. He is a founding member of Sunny Day Real Estate, The Fire Theft and was the first drummer for the Foo Fighters.  We start this episode  with a Check-In.  William tells us how he split his time in the last year caring for three kids and writing and recording two  records with his new band Assertion.   We also learn that William took 9 years off from playing music, how that made him feel and what he's doing to catch back up with the music that has influenced him.  The episode finishes with Joe and William recounting their unforgettable and nerve racking trip to New York to play David Bowies birthday party.   The trip was riddled with comical  rock n roll celebrity shoulder rubbing,  major drum tech mistakes and a goofy brush up with the NYPD.  Plus,  William invents the word "respectstruck" !We hear two new songs from Assertions debut record  Intermisson .  Out 4.9.21 on Spartan Records spartanrecords.comMusic by Assertion, Palm Frauds and Joe PlummerEpisode sponsored by Caddis  caddislife.com and Izotope  izotope.com

Today's guest is someone who's music I have loved since my teenage years and continually come back to, Mr. Brandon Butler. Brandon was a member of the influential band Boys Life as well as a member of a band that more people should've have known about during their existence, The Farewell Bend. The Farewell Bend actually reissued their lone LP just last month via Spartan Records, and I highly suggest you head over to their website and pick up a copy; you will not be disappointed. After The Farewell Bend called it a day, Brandon was a member of the band Canyon that put out two really great records as well, and became Jay Farrar (Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo) backing band for a few tours. After Canyon split he released three solo LP's under his own name, and also started the band Six Bells. I hope you're ready for a long one, because it is, haha! I have no clue how to edit these things, so you get what you get. Enjoy!

Brandon Butler was the guitarist and singer for the bands Boys Life, The Farewell Bend, Canyon and more. After 20 plus years, Spartan Records has reissued the lone album by The Farewell Bend, and we discuss everything from Boys Life to Brandon's life as a father and general contractor today. Strap in cause there's a lot here about the past and the present. https://www.holdfastky.com/ https://www.spartanrecords.com/products/688462-the-farewell-bend-in-passing --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/self-released-songs/support

So great to have Chris Simpson back on the podcast. Since we last spoke all the back for episode 15 of this podcast, Mineral wasn’t even reunited yet. We had a lot to catch up on. We talked about the Mineral 25th anniversary and how it was different from the reunion in 2014, the two new songs they wrote for the 25th anniversary book, and The Gloria Record’s reissue of A Lull in Traffic. I also continue to grill Chris about the unheard Gloria Record album I want him to finish and discuss the amazing new Mountain Time album at length which is out now on Spartan Records. At the end, if you stick around, Chris tells an amazing Antioch Arrow story. Lastly, the next volume of the Anthology of Emo book series was announced. Learn more at AnthologyofEmo.com

Kim Warnick is a team member of Calling All Crows, which is a nonprofit focused on sexual harassment prevention at gigs, festivals, and other live events.

Despite the very real nature of the work Kim and I both do (with Art of Survival), this conversation was very light-hearted and fun and I hope you learn a few things from it!

Today we welcome singer, guitarist and lyricist, Scott Hobart from Giants Chair. Giants Chair are a midwest band that in the early 90s influenced many in the scene we know today. Starting out on the legendary Caulfield Records, Giants Chair have been off and on over the years and continued to be talked about when this genre and era is mentioned. Now they’re about to release their new album “Prefabylon” out December 6th on Spartan Records. If this is the future, it’s out now on streaming services. I think I giggled or laughed more than most episodes as Scott and I talk about the band’s history, his kids, his day job, and “Prefabylon.” Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/washedupemo)

Welcome to the 20th episode of "Talkin' with Andrew and Chris"! We are back with another very special episode, today's guest is Brooks Paschal, of the Rock band "Suprises"! After releasing three successful LP’s with the fan-adored band Sullivan and dozens of solo tracks over the past ten years, songs seem to emanate from all levels of Brooks Paschal's consciousness. However, Paschal’s new project Surprises is something different. It is cathartic, it is reckless, and it is personal — a striking new narrative from a familiar voice. Natural Disaster is a concentrated amalgamation of all the driving, melodic, soaring, and fragile moments that made Paschal’s previous work so appealing, but with instincts driving all direction, we're thrust into a new and unchartered creative territory.

Shawn ALSO runs a podcast, Pick A Side Stupid, which is also a weekly live comedy debate show that takes place in Quincy, Mass - right across town from where we live - where two comedians are posed a question and then they improv a response. It’s truly one of the most unique spectacles I’ve seen in a comedy sphere.Make sure you follow Pick A Side Stupid over at Podbean, iTunes, Stitcher, and really anywhere you get podcasts! You will not regret it! Make sure to join the Facebook group if you’d like to keep up! I will also be a guest on the upcoming Sex episode - so you won’t want to miss that!And if you’d like to support Shawn’s new comedy album, “100 Problems,” seek it out on iTunes, Spotify, and ANYWHERE you can listen to music or comedy - it’s OUT THERE!MUSIC NOTE:- This week you got to hear tunes from the ridiculous new Florida Man LP, “Tropical Depression,” which will be released on May 3 through our friends over at Spartan Records!- Florida Man's sound may be as unnerving as a Google search of their band name, but on their sophomore full-length Tropical Depression, the Charleston, SC noise-punks harness roaring blasts of distortion and a fascination with the bleaker side of life to create one of the year’s most uncompromising and cathartic releases. Tropical Depression effectively filters the spirits of the most legendary noise rock and post-hardcore scenes -- San Diego’s angular attack (Hot Snakes, No Knife), Seattle’s sheer power (Botch, These Arms Are Snakes), Chicago’s sonic depravity (The Jesus Lizard, Shellac), and DC’s unbridled creativity (Fugazi, Faraquet) -- through the band's unique brand of sweat-soaked southern grime and a dose of hardcore aggression. (Courtesy of Spartan Records)- On this episode, you got to hear the track, “Brain Cell,” which is a major kick in the face - and it’s the opening track to the album, so you know you’re in for a treat!THE CONNECTEDU NETWORK- This week, you got to learn about the ConnectEDU Network, of which this podcast is now a contributing member!- ConnectEDU Network connects the unique perspectives and expert insight of higher education through podcasting.

This is a special episode of the podcast because it features a talk/performance that I gave at Raritan Valley Community College in Somerville/Bridgewater, New Jersey last week! The talk is called, "Survival Ain't Pretty," and it's a talk that I've delivered a few times now, and I love doing it because it allows me to include my music and my poetry throughout the talk of me describing my life as someone who has lived with, survived, and struggled with ADHD, addiction, and mental illness.There is a lot covered in this talk, and I know it might feel like a lot to take in, but after having done this podcast for over 9 months now, I felt it was time to truly let folks in on who I am as a person, especially at such a pivotal moment in my life and my exploration of mental health support services. Being vulnerable like this isn't easy, but it's something I've become quite accustom to over the years.If you like this talk that I deliver, please feel free to reach out with your thoughts, and if you'd like to book me to speak on your campus - please use my website (visit my Public Speaking page) or email me at CraigBidiman@gmail.com.

He's also the owner of Table-Turned, which is a vinyl subscription service that allows folks to pick a genre of their choice, and each month they receive a new record in the mail! Dane has a huge heart for music and for his students, which you get to hear throughout this episode, which is full of stories and insight to his busy life - balancing full-time work as an educator, father, husband, and record label owner/vinyl subscription owner. Dane and I sort of feel like kindred spirits at times throughout the conversation, as our ethics and interests align very well - so well that this conversation could have easily ran double in length. We get into what it's like being an ultra authentic educator and what that looks like in terms of being an accessible resource for our students, and how we bring a lot of ourselves into our work. And how when we get home, we take out the remaining energy we have on our creative efforts.MUSIC NOTES:- This week, I featured tunes from the new Man Mountain album, "Infinity Mirror," which comes out THIS FRIDAY through Spartan Records.

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)

Chapter 83: "Sky Beats Gold" ...as read by Marty Lunn of Zao and Young Fox Marty Lunn has been heavily involved in the greater Pittsburgh scene for his entire life. He goes into a lot of detail back in March on the Urban Achiever podcast, but I wanted to hit on a few different things than what he rolled out with Bill. I became friends with Marty because of my relationship with Scott and Zao and we got to spend some quality time in the van between Canada and NY. Marty and I try to cover some of the in-between stuff that he hasn't discussed before...including a lil' hockey. I'm happy to help his band Young Fox with their full length coming "Sky Beats Gold" on Spartan Records in Mid-January! Check out a clip of the song "Sometimes The Monsters Win" at the end of this chapter. Thank you Marty and thank John from Spartan.

I will never forget that the first thing Jon did when he picked up the phone for the podcast. He asked about my life and took the time to find out more about Washed Up Emo before the interview even started. I was blown away at how humble he was but also so proud of his life's work. It’s an honor to be able to present a small slice of Jon that many of his friends and family know so well. I count myself included. This podcast is supposed to be evergreen. You can listen in 5 years or in 10 years and know a good chunk of that band or era and some context to the scene and a way to look back but also look ahead. Jon was that last point to a T. He was so happy talking about the history but also his new music and what was next. Sadly, this was the last interview Jon did. I can only hope those close or those who have no idea who Jon Bunch was take and learn something from one of the most important voices in not only the independent scene but music in general. I am eternally grateful Jon took the time to talk with me about his life that will thankfully live on in aural form so someone can stumble upon Jon's music forever.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/washedupemo)
