While in Oakland for the Possessed/False Prophet show, I sat down with Claudeous to discuss the upcoming not-so-secret new album from Possessed as well as some of his other projects. A real down to earth dude, Claudeous shared his insight in the industry and talked about his experience joining, recording, and performing with perhaps the most legendary and fabled band in Death Metal! Want to know the ETA for the new album? Want know what to expect from an upcoming documentary that captures the entire studio experience from the eyes of a Hollywood legend? Then check out the episode!

Back on Jan 12, I went to Oakland to check out the False Prophet/Possessed show and got a chance to hang out with pioneering death metal guitarist/vocalist Paul Ray, the founding member of False prophet. We talked about all things Prophet- history, industry changes, band shakeups, long hiatuses, current Prophet activity, and Paul's mighty knobs! Paul is a very candid, very honest, and very down to earth dude that had a lot of enticing things to say about the state of the band and what we can expect from them in the new future! And of course, we talked about current guitarist Scott Pivarnick as well as Craig Gillespie from Divine Treachery and Matt Francis from Ergodic, both of whom are part of False Prophet's current lineup. Don't miss this rare backstage interview with a true legend! So Thanks, Paul! an absolute honor! Special Thanks to Scott Pivarnick for being the conduit!

Part 2 of my discussion with Steve Fournier. We explore his newest musical ventures that have him stepping out from behind the drum kit and taking on the role of lead vocalist for and amazing Foreigner tribute band called Fever 103. And of course, we discuss his epic show-saving performance at a recent Loverboy concert where he took center stage and performed as lead vocalist when Mike Reno fell ill and couldn't finish the set. Don't miss this!

Flashback: March 2018
I visited the super secret lair of Harder Than Contra, the legendary band known for their epic orchestral metal renditions of classic video game music and got the low-down on the inner workings of the machine. A truly awesome conversation and a really fun episode. So fun and awesome, in fact, that I had to steal it from myself and repost it on a different show! So if you didn't get the chance to check out the show from On The Edge, here's your chance to hear it in all its classic glory! And when they finally finish their long awaited (at least by me) album, We'll do another live session. But until then...

I was recently honored with an invitation to meet up with Scott Pivarnick on Suffocation's Death Chopping North America/Farewell Frank tour when they played Seattle. We discussed his company, SP Custom Guitars, and the increasing role he has been playing in building custom axes to several legendary metal guitarists and bassists. In addition to that, we chatted about his role as guitar tech for Suffocation and Possessed, and his gig as a guitarist for OG Metal Band False Prophet! Needless to say, Scott is a busy dude and his talents put him at the forefront of many projects! This episode was a blast to produce, Scott is super cool, and his guitars are absolutely amazing! Be sure to check them out on all his social media sites! Special thanks to Bradly Miranda for the assistance with the mix!

A long time ago, in a studio not far away, a legendary band took over the On The Edge Studios and delivered an absolutely epic interview and live performance session. Fast forward, a year and a half later. They return. Same host, same studio. Different show. This time, as guests on Misery Point Radio, we discuss the new album, their recent touring schedule, random awesomeness, and once again get treated to a live, in-studio acoustic performance. Worth noting that the last song in the set has never been recorded before this session.
And in a ghostly turn of events, there were some audio and equipment issues that resulted in some lost audio, but the Fibs, being the uncategorizeable Punk Rock/Rock n Rollers that they are, said "Put it out. Nobody cares."
Just one more reason to fucking love The Fibs. No excuses, no apologies, no conformity. No looking back.

Emmy-Winning performing and recording artist Jeff Tassin invited me to his lair, Jeff Tassin Studios, for an awesome conversation about his life in the music and television business. We discussed his start in the early days, his various recording and performing projects, his numerous awards, his studio, and his current role as producer and mentor to many talented musicians. His latest project, keeping up on its seventh year anniversary (Oct 30), is his Songwriter's showcase, a weekly gig that gives artists a forum to get their material to the world and play in front of people and work on their craft in real time. After the interview, I headed to the show and captured some great audio that will be featured in its own episode in a couple of weeks. So you'll have to stay tuned for that one!

I'm joined by Chris Adkins, who plays in the trifecta of awesomeness consisting of Acoustic project The Royal Pain, melodic punk outfit Phasers On Kill, and the legendary hometown and international heroes MxPx. Co-hosted by my studio wizard friend Bradly Miranda, we have an awesome hangout session and discuss how Chris manages to juggle all three acts and maintain his sanity. We also get an epic solo acoustic performance which features an amazing Descendants cover as well as two other killer cuts, one of which features Brad on the nut crusher (cajon) and Brad's brother Brian on bass. There is also video that will be coming real soon!
This episode also was originally aired for the On The Edge podcast, but was always intended to be a part of Misery Point. When it became apparent there woud be a delay in the Misery Point Launch, I chose to air the episode on On The Edge so that Chris could share with his peeps! So pulling double duty for two shows! If you didn't get a chance to check it out yet, here's your chance! Thanks again to Bradly Miranda for mixing the performance portion of the episode!
