Der britische Punk-Poet stellt sein neues, zehntes Album "Undefeated" vor, das morgen erscheint. Klar, beim Wort "Punk" kommt so manches Klischee in den Sinn: Stachelige Haare, negative Weltsicht und generelle Ruppigkeit. Aber nicht vergessen werden sollte dabei, dass es durchaus Vertreter:innen dieser Subkultur mit konstruktiven, hehren Verbesserungsabsichten und Idealen gab und gibt. Joe Strummer und The Clash zum Beispiel, Bikini Kill um Kathleen Hanna oder Ian MacKaye mit Minor Threat beziehungsweise Fugazi. Genau wie auch Billy Bragg oder Ted Leo sicher Menschen, zu denen der Teenager Frank Turner am Anfang seiner musikalischen Karriere um die Jahrtausendwende aufblickte – und mit denen er nun, ein gutes Vierteljahrhundert später, guten Gewissens in einem Atemzug genannt werden kann. Denn mit – auch kommerziell übrigens durchaus erfolgreichen – Alben wie "Tape Deck Heart", "Positive Songs For Negative People" oder "Be More Kind" hat er ein ums andere Mal bewiesen, dass er ein ebenso verlässlicher Lieferant mitreißend-melodischer Pop-Punk-Hymnen wie Schöpfer ans Herz gehender, poetischer Singer-Songwriter-Stücke ist. Textlich nimmt er zwischen Selbstreflexion und Aufbruchsstimmung so manche Ungerechtigkeit ins Visier, zweifelt gelegentlich, vergisst aber die Lebensfreude nie. Auch das morgen erscheinende neue Werk "Undefeated" lässt in dieser Hinsicht nichts zu wünschen übrig; ob der 42-Jährige nun grundlegende Daseinsfragen behandelt, voll jugendlichem Überschwang das coole (Riot-)"Girl From the Record Shop" mit dem guten Musikgeschmack (Descendents! Supremes!) anhimmelt oder selbstironisch das Älterwerden thematisiert und den dazugehörigen Songtitel "Never Mind The Back Problems" augenzwinkernd-ehrerbietend an den Namen des Sex Pistols-Debütalbums "Never Mind The Bollocks" anlehnt.

Spinning Out (another music podcast) We talk to artists about their favorite albums and go on wild tangents. This week on the pod we're joined by David Combs of Bad Moves and also of Dim Wizard.

Allen has also been involved in the band BIG LIFE, a group of seasoned local musicians creating Melodic Hardcore music inspired by Dischord Records' "Revolution Summer" era.

Well, we can now add writer to the list of things Ryan Allen excels at.

This week on Transmissions: Conner Habib. He's the author of the Pen/Faulkner award longlisted horror novel, Hawk Mountain, and the host of the weekly podcast Against Everyone with Conner Habib. Informed by his practice of Anthroposophy and Christian mysticism, AEWCH focuses on the esoteric and ventures into strange and unusual places, touching frequently on Habib's spiritual views while also exploring his views on sex work, his interest in art and literature, punk rock ethos, and his singular conversational style.  This last September, Habib devoted a whole month to exploring the mystic possibilities of music with guests like Bonnie Prince Billy and Nina Persson of the Cardigans, and he's featured guests like Ian McKaye, Stephen Malkmus, and Ted Leo, so we pick up where that series left off and dive into the musical, occult, and conversational deep end. Next week on Transmissions? Penelope Sheeris—director of The Decline and Fall of Western Civilization series, Wayne's World, and host of Peter and the Acid King, a podcast dedicated to the mysterious life and death of Peter Ivers.

Let me introduce you to Ted Leo, master of soul searching pop punk and indie rock! Ted has a long career with bands like Citizens Arrest, Chisel, Puzzlehead, and the Sin-Eaters. He's mostly known for his group, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. He's also put out albums with Aimee Mann as The Both and as a solo artist. We talked about the intersection of comedy and indie rock throughout the 2000's, and Ted's journey in putting out his first solo album, The Hanged Man. Since then, he has been recording EP's and putting them on Bandcamp. You can find his works there, https://tedleo.bandcamp.com/. You can also go to www.tedleo.com for tour dates and merch.

Singer-songwriter, author, and artist Bob Schneider joins Rhett from Austin to talk about the evolution of his musical career, and the story behind his new graphic novel, FAYM. Rhett and Bob discuss the realization that success doesn't necessarily change your life, why names are important, and agree that calculation can kill creativity.

We've been trying to get Mahmood Saikh on the show almost since the podcast started. And finally, he has relented, but with the caveat that he be allowed to appear not as a traditional guest —oh, no, no!— he wanted to be treated as “just one of the guys”. A panel position, if you will. Fine. We accept you. One of us. The indie-rock booking-agent maestro DID send us a bio, however — so here it is: “Mahmood Shaikh is an agent at Concerted Efforts. He represents a wide range of artists including Algiers, Boris, Frankie Rose, Jawbox, Karate, Mr Twin Sister, Nothing, SURVIVE, Ted Leo, We Were Promised Jetpacks, and many others in North America and other territories.  Previously, he was an agent at Flowerbooking, Inc. where for over a decade he sat next to the guy that booked Local H.    Last name is pronounced “Shake”.” Anyway, on this episode we talk about Mahmood's love of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Scott's Global Entry worthiness, 1982, Michael, Commie Liberal Pinko Tuesday, upside down pizza, U2 cover bands, Gabe's fever for Pac-Man, and finally — COVERBOY: Chicago's newest super-group. This is Ben's kind of episode. Gooble gobble.

Musician, songwriter, actor and playwright Queen Esther joins Rhett from her home in Harlem to talk about her extraordinary multi-hyphenate career, which currently includes two new albums (to be released this year), and a play, which will culminate in an off-Broadway run. There's no shortage of wisdom and inspiration in this conversation, as Queen Esther discusses the importance of following the creative spirit, what it means to plug into one's own uniqueness, and why imposter syndrome is off the table.Queen Esther's most recent work includes a performance with her western swing collective The Black Rose of Texas at Lincoln Center's 2022 Summer for the City. Her critically acclaimed 2021 Black Americana album Gild The Black Lily is the fourth release on her imprint EL Recordings – and her 2018 TED Talk about the true origins of country and bluegrass continues to reverberate throughout the Americana community. Coming in 2023: Rona, an EP of rangy alt-Americana songs written in Harlem during the early months of the pandemic lockdown and Things Are Looking Up, a jazz album of original songs and Lady Day's lost classics.Queen Esther websiteQueen Esther on IG @thisisqueenesther Rhett on IG @rhettmillerRhett Miller website Wheels Off is brought to you by Osiris Media.

Today we welcome Ted Leo from Chisel. You may know Ted Leo or Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. Or you're wondering what Ted is doing on the podcast. We're deep in our Numero Group 20 Celebration and if you heard the last episode with John Dugan of Chisel, Ted has a great history in hardcore in the NYC area going to shows at ABC No Rio among others and we talk about those days, his thoughts on emo from DC, the early 2000s scene and how special this upcoming "Set You Free" reissue and shows with Numero Group means to him. Ted was an absolute blast to chat with and you'll wonder where the time went as he weaves stories and moments together that at one point says he's never said in any other interview. A true honor to have a DIY legend on the podcast and couldn't have been happier to have it line up with Numero Group's reissue of “Set You Free” and their upcoming shows.

She'll call you into her journey of self-discovery, addiction, love affairs, and a fever dream of in-betweens.

Bestselling author Julia Cameron joins Rhett once again to talk about her new book Write for Life, in which she turns to one of the subjects closest to her heart: the art and practice of writing. This episode is full of wisdom, as Julia gives Rhett a peek into her own creative process and shares some of the best practices she's developed over the last two decades. Julia and Rhett discuss how to manage your inner critic, what it means to be authentic, and why she is an advocate of writing by hand. Hailed by the New York Times as “The Queen of Change,” JULIA CAMERON is credited with starting a movement in 1992 that has brought creativity into the mainstream conversation—in the arts, in business, and in everyday life. She is the best-selling author of more than forty books, fiction and nonfiction; a poet, songwriter, filmmaker and playwright. Commonly referred to as “The Godmother” or “High Priestess” of creativity, her tools are based in practice, not theory, and she considers herself “the floor sample of her own toolkit.” The Artist's Way has been translated into forty languages and sold over five million copies to date.
