| Future Echoes: Episode 003 — Brutus, Renewer, Bandhood, Oslo Tapes | 30 Mar 2024 | 00:40:29 | |
Aaaaand I'm back! Busy, busy, busy time of year and this episode will be a quick one...which was sort of the intention in the first place. I went and saw Brutus live last week, you should not miss them if they come to your town. I also dig into Renewer, Bandhood and Oslo Tapes. Ramble on way too long about how those core memories of yours meeting your favorite bands are not core memories of theirs...sorry, they just aren't, and urge you all to go watch the KEXP session with New Age Doom. Plus, I dig into an artist I have been fanboying over lately, Lola Young. Probably not what you'd be expecting on this show, but give her a listen and you too may fall hard for her music. Think Adele if she grew up a grimy punk. Opening clip for Future Echoes with just JD | |||
| Blynd Sub — Future Echoes: Episode 002 (New Age Doom, Limblifter, Lee "Scratch" Perry) | 03 Mar 2024 | 00:53:33 | |
In this second episode of Future Echoes, I dig into Vancouver, BC band, New Age Doom, their newest album, There is No End, featuring Tuvaband, as well as an album they did with Lee Scratch Perry, "...Guide to the Universe". I then take a look back at their drummer's other band, who I fell in love with while living in Vancouver, Limblifter. You should also check out Mounties, if you dig Limblifter. ++++ Opening clip for Future Echoes with just JD | |||

| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 78: On the Road with Jeff and JD...Swanfest!!! | 25 Apr 2022 | 01:16:55 | |
We have something different this week. We attended our first music festival in over two years, and hung out with the fine gentlemen in Moon Tooth!!! It was weird and glorious...so we decided to record on the way (and back) in the car. We listened to all the bands on the undercard and gave our two cents...most we had never listened to before. Because we recorded in the car...the quality is not quite our usual...especially for the first 30 seconds or so...but HANG IN THERE...it gets better. We did our best to tone down the road noise...but ultimately we were in a car going 70 miles an hour recording on iPhones with lav mics. Get our pre-show thoughts in the first half, and then an event recap in the second half! | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 77: Jessica Ball from MWWB (formerly Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard) | 18 Apr 2022 | 02:09:56 | |
We have quite a treat today...all the way from Cardiff Wales, it's Jessica Ball, MWWB's singer and guitar player. We talked about growing up in South Africa and moving back to Wales, studying jazz guitar, how the band was formed, how they got such a cheeky name, and dealing with guitar player Paul's serious health issues. We got some dirt on her other band Eye, and listened to a spectacular set of submissions. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 76: Andy Patterson from The Otolith | 11 Apr 2022 | 02:19:01 | |
He's back! Another round of wild stories, a new segment we'll call "old high school photos with Andy", a Reverse Punisher(TM), a discussion about what NOT to do at soundcheck when you're opening for Sleep, and an absolute boatload of music, including music from Venezuelan band zeta who's van was robbed in San Francisco just days ago...support all the bands you like! Oh, and we're pretty sure this episode is proof that the simulation is real. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 75: Max Malmer from Cavern Deep and Karmanjaka | 05 Apr 2022 | 02:15:20 | |
He's back! Max joined us again from frosty Sweden to talk about the Northern Lights, not having to work for a few weeks, making a text-based adventure game, whether Ikea is legit, he other band (besides Cavern Deep) Karmanjaka, records, instruments, beer, and who knows what else (you will, once you listen).

| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 74: Jordan Perkins Lewis from Brume | 28 Mar 2022 | 01:58:02 | |
Adult human stuff happened, but now it's podcast time again (we explain right at the beginning)! This week's guest was a long time coming...the final member of Brume, Drummer Jordan Perkins Lewis. Jordan is a fantastic drummer with crazy eclectic musical taste, a wild upbringing among the blue-collar workers in the movie business, and a badass job producing videos, TV content, and working the scoreboard graphics for the San Francisco Giants. He's also not shy with his opinions, as you will quickly discover. We listened to some really cool submissions, but Jordan was up for more so we also dug through the "what are people buying right now" ticker and some of the top seller charts too! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 73: Youtube - Theory Nerds and Boomer Bends | 21 Feb 2022 | 01:45:44 | |
And now for something completely different. Jeff is a regular consumer of dorky music theory content and weird boomer guitar videos on YouTube. JD is not. Jeff was quite sure JD would hate all of it, and he was right...kinda. Watch JD learn what polyrhythms are in real time...it's fun. Plus we tackle boomer bends, Rick Beato, the mystery that is YouTube's obsession with the Polyphia song GOAT, and much more. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 72: Melynda Jackson from Eight Bells | 14 Feb 2022 | 02:26:52 | |
She came up on the last episode while we were talking to Mike Scheidt, we love Eight Bells, and they have a new album releasing called Legacy of Ruin on February 25th via Prophecy Productions, so we thought what better time have on vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Melynda Jackson, and she was awesome. Melynda is one of the long list of stalwart underground heavy musicians from the bay area who relocated to Portland to escape rising cost of living and decreasing opportunity...we talk about her beginnings as a musician, her long-running band SubArachnoid Space, growing up in a small town in Texas, cheating guitar center, the artwork for their killer new record (and the music itself), and cats. We also listened to some cool stuff. And to all the new subscribers post Mike Scheidt...welcome aboard! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 71: Mike Scheidt from Yob | 07 Feb 2022 | 03:29:27 | |
Nothing really needs to be said here. Mike graced us with over 3 hours of his time to tell stories, laugh, listen to music, discuss the stonerrock.com forums, and talk about the almost incomprehensible ascendance of Yob to the metal pantheon. Our main takeaway after talking with Mike? This is a great guy who simply loves music. Also, the discussion of his new classical composition is awesome. Yob's got 4 shows at Saint Vitus in February followed by a west coast tour in March...go see them if you can! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 70: Nick and Keith from Dumb Waiter | 28 Jan 2022 | 02:10:01 | |
First they submitted music, then they sent us records, then we picked them as part of our best of 2021...ladies and Gentlemen...Dumb Waiter. The most confusing thing to come out of Virginia since (insert clever history joke here). Dolly Pardon. Understanding Bungle late in life. Heavy music in Virgina. Not fitting in with other bands. Screenprinting and weird music videos. Also death to Spotify, Bandcamp FOREVER!!!! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw

| Blynd Subs - Future Echoes: Episode 001 | 25 Feb 2024 | 00:32:55 | |
Not really a "welcome back" but more of a "JD got bored and needed to ramble out loud to himself about music". The point of Future Echoes — surprisingly, not an homage to Slomatics, but I do love them — is to have fun remembering great music from the past and digging into the new what next! Showing us old folks that great music is certainly still being made, you just got too busy to search it out, and hopefully introducing you young'uns to bands that influenced who you listen to today. Will there still be heavier music? Yep, but not entirely. Prepare for a JD overdose with lots of lip smacking, heavy breathing (I really need to find that pop filter) and rambling galore Opening clip for Future Echoes with just JD | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 69: Artie Shephard from Saint Vitus Bar | 24 Jan 2022 | 02:48:43 | |
What a delightful dive into the Long Island hardcore scene with (prog-loving) scenester Artie Shepherd. Artie has been part of the LIHC scene since the beginning, playing in Mind Over Matter (and a bunch of other bands), his band Primitive Weapons with past-guest (and co-owner of Saint Vitus, Chris Enriquez). We talked about Artie's musical past, the decision to open a bar and venue, running a live music venue during a pandemic, touring, launching Wreck-Age records, Yes, Rush, and a whole bunch of other shit. Artie has stories for days, and we could probably easily do another 2.5 hours some day...hopefully in person next time. Also there was music listened to.

| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 68: Plack Blague | 17 Jan 2022 | 02:22:12 | |
Plack Blague (aka Raws Schlesinger) joins us to talk about his particular brand of grimy electronic/industrial dance/not dance music, growing up gay in rural Nebraska, getting into music, booking and playing grindcore shows (he plays guitar, bass, drums, and sings too), and just generally about loving anything that is weird and fringe. In his own words..."if you throw up on your keyboard, I want to book you", or something like that. What a wonderful conversation with a truly great underground artist...who also got to meet Rob Halford because he's a fan of Plack Blague (and even dressed up as Raws for Halloween once). Mind fucking blown. Also, Raws told us we were his favorite podcast he's ever done. That ruled. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 67: Chaney Crabb from Entheos | 10 Jan 2022 | 03:26:04 | |
This week we have a real treat...Chaney Crabb sings for ???progressive death metal??? band Entheos, now signed to Metal Blade Records. Chaney and her fiancée Navene Koperweis are the creative duo behind the band, and are just wrapping up recording their debut record for Metal Blade. They also just moved from Santa Cruz to Nashville. We talk about a little bit of everything from life on the road, getting you Instagram hacked, relocating to the south, seeing Tom and Christina from the wildly popular Your Mom's House podcast watch her TikTok videos and sing her songs, to seeing true masters hone their craft while touring with people like Dave Davidson (Revocation, Jeff's fractured brain) and Tosin Abasi (Animals as Leaders). We also had a spectacular batch of bands this week...so get cozy and press play! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 66: Best Finds of 2021 with John Carbone of Moon Tooth | 03 Jan 2022 | 04:10:25 | |
We really did break the 4 hour mark with John from Moon Tooth. We shared our favorite music discovered in 2021 and listened to FULL songs. Plus John drank a tiny champagne, JD got whiskey drunk real fast, and dad had to take the wheel. We end with the promise of an airBnB in-person hang vacation, which will happen...it will! Happy 2022 folks. Support DIY musicians and artists, because shit didn't get much better this year. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 65: Tom Frank from Duel and Wicked Bad Concerts | 28 Dec 2021 | 01:35:47 | |
Happy holidays folks...we didn't forget about you. Time to sit back and enjoy this highly entertaining chat with Tom Frank from Austin Texas' Duel and Wicked Bad concerts (who runs the amazing Wicked Bad Stoner Jam in Austin during SXSW music week. Duel's awesome new record In Carne Persona came out in October on Heavy Psych Sounds! Tom is hilarious, watch the video when it goes up on Facebook for amazing virtual green screen hair shenanigans, and though we lost Tom a little early due to Zoom eating his phone batter faster than he could charge it, we got through a bunch of music, including randomly diving into genre bestsellers and checking out the "what are people buying now" scroll on Bandcamp. Enjoy! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 64: Steve Reis from Does it Doom? | 20 Dec 2021 | 02:05:07 | |
Happy Monday, Happy Holidays, and let's get down to the real question here...DOES IT DOOM???? Today's guest is Steve Reis...face of the very popular YouTube channel Does it Doom? Steve's channel helps break down stoner, sludge, and doom songs, bands, and gear...his goal is to de-mystify doom and help folks play the songs and get the tones. How does Matt Pike do it? How does Sunn 0))) make Sunn 0))) sounds? How can yo use gear aimed at the mass market to get very specific sounds? We talked to Steve about all of that, the birth of the channel, new bands to break down, getting into the business of building gear (pedalboards, pedals, guitars), the legendary First Act customs (he's a collector), and balancing a full-time job, a family, and an exploding YouTube empire.

| Episode 63: Nolan Williams from Texas Ketamine and his dad Kevin from High School Friendship Bands | 13 Dec 2021 | 01:54:29 | |

Hooooo boooooy...this week we sit down with good ole' Texas boy Eric Calvert to talk about his band (Swithblade Jesus), his business (Frost Giant Electronics), Architects of Reality, and much more. Eric was a damned delight! We'll also drop a link to a fundraiser record(s) for a band we listened to in the past (Trigger Cut) who's studio burned down...give if you can, share if you can't...you get all kinds of killer music, and it's only $3 for all three records (GIVE MORE). YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 61: Daxma | 29 Nov 2021 | 01:43:07 | |
This episode nearly killed us. Want to hear Jeff and JD both have a stroke in one episode? Here you go! We talk to Forrest, Isaac, and Jessica, 3/4s of Oakland's ambient doomgaze choose-you-own-label band Daxma, who just released a new record called Unmarked Boxes on Blues Funeral Recordings. 15 minutes in to our first attempt to record, Jeff realized he didn't hit record on Zoom again. Yes. Twice in 5 episodes...but we caught it this time, and ended up having a lovely chat! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 60: John Brookhouse from Worshipper and Gimme Metal Radio | 22 Nov 2021 | 02:30:21 | |
Today's guest is our good buddy John Brookhouse, singer for Teepee Records Worhsipper, and host of The Shadow Hymnal, his weekly radio show on Gimme Metal Radio. John is a super good dude, and we talked about guitars, gentrification, and some other shit. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 85: Scott Evans from Kowloon Walled City | 25 Oct 2022 | 02:10:10 | |
We're back. Descriptions will be shorter. Maybe we won't have a new episode every week...maybe we will. Scott Evans from Kowloon Walled City and Antisleep Audio was a fantastic guess...kept us on track and off tangents, and has touched (teehee) so many past guests. Enjoy! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 59: Pop's Record Collection Part 2 | 16 Nov 2021 | 01:34:17 | |
We're back celebrating Pop's memory by pulling random records and listening to songs/bands we've never heard of. One thing's for sure after the second round....Pop REALLY was a man who liked his music smooth! Jeff got served up some random awesome bands by the Spotify algorithm (I know, we were shocked too), so he made JD blind listen to The Odious, Thank You Scientist, and Rishloo, plus we tease next week's guest John Brookhouse (Worshipper, Gimme Metal Radio) and listen to a killer Worshipper track called Light in the Wires. There are a ton of laughs in this one. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 58: Marc Brandi from Lowcaster and Mustard Gas & Roses | 08 Nov 2021 | 02:02:51 | |
WE GOT A DO-OVER FOR LAST WEEK'S GOOF. Marc Brandi is a gentleman, scholar, and wicked funny musician who was nice enough to re-join us only a week after we forgot to push record on his first episode. We're forever in your debt Marc. Lowcaster is Marc's bay area heavy prog home, and he's also a permanent member of MG&R (formed by Michael Gallagher from Isis). We listened to lots of music and laughed a lot, and made fun of Jeff a lot. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 57: Trevor Church Full Episode Re-Release | 01 Nov 2021 | 02:37:35 | |
Well...57 episodes in and it finally happened...Jeff didn't press all the record buttons and our wonderful 2 hour chat with Marc Brandi from Lowcaster and Mustard Gas and Roses is gone...at least Marc's part is gone. We may be able to salvage the recording at a later date for comedy purposes...and a new episode with Marc will be up next Monday. This week, we reassembled the full Trevor Church interview from Episode 11-12. They never should have been 2 episodes, and far fewer people listened to Part 2. So here...listen to the whole damn thing! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 56: Pop's Record Collection Part 1 | 26 Oct 2021 | 00:59:26 | |
We've got a bit of a fun departure this week...Jeff inherited a record collection, so we decided to celebrate Pop's memory by pulling random records and listening to songs/bands we've never heard of. One thing's for sure after the first round....Pop was a man who liked his music smooth! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 55: Doug Walker #2 (also F$%K electrical storms) | 18 Oct 2021 | 01:44:38 | |
Doug Walker (Monolith, The Spice Pistols) comes back shortly after his first episode to talk about the devastating fire that took his (and his bandmates' from The Spice Pistols) house, and most of their belongings, including pretty much all of their music and recording gear. Doug gets real talking about the fire and it's aftermath, gets full of gratitude talking about the music community that's helping to support them, and talks about getting through a full tour supporting Agent Orange in the "Age of Rona". We did manage to listen to some music, and dig into a particularly interesting article about the "post-hardcore) scene in Ontario Canada that devolved into Doug predicting what each "post-hardcore" band would sound like based on band photo, band name, and album cover alone (he's pretty fucking good at it). We also learned about Soft Grunge (look it up), and finished up with a song by Dumb Waiter...a previously listened-to band that we loved who was kind enough to send us a record! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 54: Sacha Dunable and JML Guitars | 11 Oct 2021 | 02:07:56 | |
This one requires very little preamble. Sacha Dunable of Dunable Guitars and Intronaut sat down with Jay and Thomas from JML guitars to talk about building guitars, and their collaboration building 8 one-of-a-kind guitars featuring Dunable's shapes, electronics, and finishes on top of JML's hand carved neck-through construction. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 53: Chris Enriquez of Spotlights and Project M | 04 Oct 2021 | 02:40:14 | |
Buckle up buckaroos! This week we bring you the final member of Spotlights, Chris Enriquez! In addition to holding down drums for Spotlights, Chris plays a bunch of instruments in a bunch of other bands, manages bands (including past guests Somnuri), and is the brand partnership director for Project M, the parent company for Revolver, The Hard Times, Brooklyn Vegan, Inked Magazine, and Goldmine Magazine. Chris has a billion stories from a lifetime of being in bands in New York City, and he tells a bunch of them...another one of those guests we could have gone 4+ hours with. As always, there was music listened to as well...check it out! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 52: Pete and Susie and Jamie OH MY! | 27 Sep 2021 | 02:19:27 | |
To celebrate the one year anniversary of the podcast, it only seemed fitting to catch up with some of our favorite people: Pete Holland from Elephant Tree and Trippy Wicked, Susie McMullen from Brume, and for the first time ever, Jamie McCathie (also from Brume). There was some guitar playing, some sharing of must-listen-to bands, a bit of banter, some righteous feminism, and as always, some submissions. Jeff also played a special selection from his high school band Purple Circus, Jamie and Pete take a crack at the West Country English accent (we had no idea what they were saying, and we took many more twists and turns. It's a rewarding episode for sure! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 51: Greatest Hits Part 2 (episodes 26-49) | 20 Sep 2021 | 02:20:19 | |

This week, it's the best of episodes 26-49 featuring highlights from Santos Montano, Spotlights, Howling Giant, Brett Morris, Marky Felchtone, Henry Wilson, Susie McMullen, Daron Beck, Max Malmer, the Martins from Domkraft, and more!

| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 84: Andy Gibbs from Thou | 16 Jun 2022 | 01:58:01 | |
We had a lovely sit-down this week with Andy Gibbs, guitar player for Thou. Andy is a thoughtful chap and has been in the heavy game for a long time. We talked about how/why Thou has been so prolific, what it was like to record a Tiny Desk concert, working with friends on collaborations, playing festivals, and the true nature of Louisiana sludge (hint, it's not the swamp). Enjoy! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 49: Francis Roberts of Old Man Wizard and King Gorm | 06 Sep 2021 | 02:36:27 | |
This week we spend some more time with past guest and creator of our theme song Francis Roberts! Francis has a brand new Old Man Wizard record called Kill Your Servants Quietly coming out, so we got all the gory details of making and releasing a rock record...so listen up people in bands out there...tons of great wisdom about making music, promoting music, and taking advantage of the various platforms (like YouTube, Bandcamp, and Twitch). YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 48: Brett Morris from Man Man and Who Charted? | 30 Aug 2021 | 01:50:40 | |
Do not skip this one. Today's guest is Brett Morris, guitar player for Sub Pop Records weirdos Man Man and Mister Heavenly (w/members of Islands, Man Man, Modest Mouse, and The Shins). The Man Man Record Dream Hunting in the Valley of the In-Between was one of Jeff's favorite records in 2020, and he also shares a deep love of Mr. Bungle. Oh, and music would probably be considered his side-hustle; he's also a podcast engineer/producer and on-air personality for Earwolf podcasts Who Charted?, Off Book, Improv for Humans, Comedy Bang Bang, Hollywood Materclass, Estates of Perfection, The Neighborhood listen, and more. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 47: Henry Wilson from House of Lightning and Floor | 16 Aug 2021 | 02:30:24 | |
This week we bring you a lovely chat with Henry Wilson of House of Lightning, Floor, and Dove. As usual, our talk covered ground...growing up feral in Florida, riding BMX, playing drums for Flor, recovering from mystery medical issues, bomb tuning, touring with previous guest Jem from DEAD, his writing process, and more. Henry is charming, thoughtful, and funny...and even gets out his only guitar (an 80s BC Rich Mockingbird) to noodle for a minute. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 46: Nate from Witch Mountain and Nanotear Booking | 09 Aug 2021 | 02:23:02 | |
Coming in hot this week with the one and only DJ Nate Carson...drummer for Witch Mountain, owner and operator of Nanotear booking, DJ, author, and retired goat farmer! We cover a lot of ground...growing up on a goat farm in rural Oregon, the founding of Witch Mountain, being a writer, upcoming projects, life as a tour booker/manager (before and during a pandemic), and Nate's early career as a 2D/3D modeler animator. We also listen to and talk about a lot of music...and maybe a little about Star Wars at the end. Oh, and special for this episode...we'll be giving away a signed copy of Nate's book Starr Creek to the first person who can tell us how Nate met our favorite artist Skinner (and back Skinner's horror comic kickstarter, he rules). Message your answer on whichever social media platform you follow us on, or e-mail the answer to blyndsub@gmail.com! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 45: James and Thomas from JML Guitars | 04 Aug 2021 | 02:20:47 | |
It's "meet Jeff's favorite luthier" week as we welcome James and Thomas from JML Guitars. Lots of discussion about woodworking and guitar building, JML's collaboration with Dunable Guitars, and of course music (James and Thomas play in bands together, and have pretty eclectic taste come to find out). We wrap up by going down the fascinating rabbit hole that is the incredible bands and album art of Eastbreath Records! The audio quality for JML is a little rough, but improves about 30 minutes in! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 44: Jarom from CrucialFest | 27 Jul 2021 | 02:29:16 | |
In our month of experiments, we're trying something new again! This week we sit down with Jarom Bischoff, the promoter behind Salt Lake City's CrucialFest...a heavy music festival that's having it's 10th anniversary in 2021. Instead of listening to our typical blind submissions. we talked to Jarom about the origins of the festival, and then went through the 2021 lineup band by band...so get ready to hear some music! Oh, Jarom is also trying something new...this year CrucialFest is free. 5 venues over 4 nights with over 30 bands. Free.

| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 43: Sam and Michelle from Cosmic Eye Brewing | 17 Jul 2021 | 03:10:14 | |
What goes together better than beer and metal? Not much really. This week our guests are Sam and Michelle Riggins, owners of Cosmic Eye brewing in Lincoln Nebraska. Sam is a reformed musician, brewer, and passionate support of all things music...he's collaborated with metal podcasts, bands (like past guest Spotlights), and is even one of the partner breweries for the upcoming Decibel Metal and Beer fest. We talked to Sam and Michelle about founding a brewery, integrating metal into the branding (the name of the brewery comes from the lyrics of a Mastodon song, with a concept inspired by Black Sabbath), and even starting to run shows at the brewery in Lincoln. Michelle and Sam were nice enough to ship us a box of beer, so we did a little bit of a tasting during the episode, which ruled. As always, we also listened to some music! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 42: Solocast 1 - Heavy Blog is Heavy Half-Year Rundown | 13 Jul 2021 | 00:59:45 | |
This week's episode is something different! Due to a scheduling snafu, JD and Jeff are solo, and running down Heavy Blog is Heavy's top 25 records of the first half of 2021. There is some familiar stuff on the list...and some brand new goodness (and weirdness). Strap in...one hour, 25 songs, no stopping. No guests, no merch table, no Bandcamp picks, no submissions, no fucks given. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 41: Sarah and Mario from Spotlights | 06 Jul 2021 | 02:36:42 | |
This week we sat down with Sarah and Mario from Spotlights, a band that is absolutely blowing up. From catching the ear of Aaron Harris and Chino Moreno with their demo, to getting signed by Ipecac and opening for one of the legendary Mr. Bungle shows at the beginning of 2020, they really are living Jeff's best life, and his envy was out for all to see! We talked about moving to Eugene, the Bay Area, San Diego, Brooklyn, and now Pittsburg...touring with Deftones and Melvins, their love for their friend HUM drummer Bryan St. Pere who just passed away, and losing a tour with Faith No More because of the pandemic. Sarah talked about how Mike Patton told them backstage that he loves their music, and can't figure out exactly why, which is why he loves it. Circular? Definitely. Welcome to the mind of Mike Patton. They have a streamed concert coming up, recorded at St. Vitus in Brooklyn (with past guests Somnuri playing as well). We also listened to a bunch of music, and there were some gems! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 40: Mark from Zeke | 28 Jun 2021 | 02:04:30 | |
Legend time. Call him Blind Marky Felchtone, Richard Yalowitz, or in our case, just Mark...the legendary frontman of Seattle's Zeke. Mark joins us to talk about all things Zeke past and future, coming up in Arkansas, moving to Seattle, recording with Tad Doyle and Jack Endino, riding motorcycles, playing way too fast, recording solos for the Thin Lizzy Tribute record, and raising a kid in a rock-and-roll family. We also listened to music...including an old live video of Jeff's guitar player's band Imperial Spacepod at the Color Box in Seattle in the 90s (a video Mark said he's watched more than once). ALSO...GET SOME INSTANT BONER! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 83: Andrew Bansal from Metal Assault | 06 Jun 2022 | 01:50:05 | |
This week we chat with Andrew Bansal...man of all the hats. Record label owner, popular review blog, band manager, tour manager, merch lord, and as it turns out, harmonium player! Andrew wrapped up a coast-to-coast tour with Old Blood earlier this year, and went back out on the road selling merch for Exodus on the Bay Strikes Back! tour. This is a wonderful conversation with a person who journeyed from rural India to LA and ended up chasing a bunch of heavy metal dreams. Enjoy!

| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 39: Doug Walker from Monolith | 21 Jun 2021 | 02:23:23 | |
New ep, who dis? We'll keep this short and sweet this week. Doug Walker from MONOLITH (not Monarch), Call of the Wild, and Alexandria Ocasia Nugent rules. We listened to and talked about a ton of music...to the point that we thought maybe JD fell asleep while we talked about fractions and pedals. But he didn't, Jeff had an aneurism (maybe) right up top though. This is a fun one. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 38: Pete Holland from Elephant Tree | 14 Jun 2021 | 02:38:04 | |
What a treat this week...coming at you from the outskirts of London, it's the one and only Pete Holland from Elephant Tree and Trippy Wicked. Elephant Tree put out one of Jeff and JDs favorite records of 2020...HABITS, which includes the song...SAILS. It's a beautiful and brilliant record, so we talked about it, their collaboration with producer Riley MacIntire art Church Studio, Elephant Tree's double-set Psycho Las Vegas adventure, the formation of the band, what Pete's been up to during the pandemic, cloudy "lemonade" in Las Vegas, releasing a record that charted in 2020 and losing all album launch and tour support plans (including a tour with Elder that was booked an never announced), Jeff's mystery affliction that forced us to skip our first week of releases since launch, and MUCH MUCH MORE. Also, while we were recording, Pete's audio kept turning to shit, which we talk about, but in the lovely podcast and video release we have pristine audio for him, so none of our comments will make sense. This is why we don't rely on Zoom for audio if we don't have to. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 37: Justin and Phil from Somnuri | 07 Jun 2021 | 01:49:29 | |
We're back! Did you miss us? We missed you...so today it's one episode, 2 guests. After a bit of technical difficulties and a jog/bike ride down the street to their apartment, the boys from Brooklyn prog/sludge (?) outfit Somnuri hopped on to regale us with many tales. We dive deep into what it sounds like when 2 drummers write metal, and what kind of animals start band practice at 11:00pm!!! Their new album Nefarious Wave is out now on Blues Funeral recordings, and it rules hard. If you've been jonesing for Remission/Leviathan era Mastodon with a Brooklyn twist, this is the record for you. Snag one at the link below before all the vinyl is gone! Also 8-bit Kvelertak is discussed, and TAX TALK!!! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
| Blynd Submyshynz Episode 36: Marc Lewis from Doors To No Where | 24 May 2021 | 02:20:12 | |
This week we got caught up with our good buddy Marc from Santa Cruz's own Doors To Know Where. They released a new record on 5/31 called Darkness Falls, and it's killer. We talk about recording the new record, working with Bob Balch from Fu Manchu, drinking beer, growing up in a musical surfing family that almost sounds like a Hollywood movie version of a Santa Cruz childhood, the Santa Cruz punk scene, and Marc's side gig as a teacher during a pandemic. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_8QVmx1ggBQHGKln88UNw | |||
