Get out your practice pads everyone, because welcome to THE drummer episode. 

In this XL episode, we are joined by the drummer from our featured band of the day. Everyone clap your sticks together for Cody, a fellow rhythmic expert.

Did we mention drummers? We will mention over one hundred drummers, including three who influenced us the most. Pencils down. Sticks up.

Our musical guest is CONTRACT, and we’re going to figure out their genre together. We’ll listen to the song Nails, off their EP VOL1, in preparation of their new single to be released on November 28th, 2025 called Big Lines.

This episode can't decide if it wants to decompose or catch on fire.

We're Slashing prices, settling copyright trials, and a certain "policeman" gets arrested by police. We also talk about the importance of not being on fire - unless you have a hankering for a nightmare in the flesh.

Our musical feature is from "Phantasmal Rot", and we’ll listen to their song "As The Heavens Rot”. This song is the band's second single, and was released in March, 2025. We decay all the way with Adam - their guitarist & vocalist - as we have a full on CatCast. Get ready to rot-out. Links below.

Episode five. Stayin' Alive. Pumpin' out episodes like it's 1999.

On this day in history, three groundbreaking events changed the world of music forever. We celebrate the birth of the "poet laureate of the blues", the birth of the best selling female rapper of all time, and the release of an innovative piece of technology, which likely influenced the medium you're using right now to listen to this episode.

Our musical feature is from "Body & Blood", and we’ll listen to their song "Totes”. This song is off their E.P. “Natural Death“, released in June, 2024. We shred it up with Mariel - their guitarist - who shares the experience of forming a band during a pandemic, the importance of merch, and advice for musicians who experience a band breakup.

Happy Pride! Shout out everybody. We love love. And wendigos. 

Class is in session. We discuss and learn about some openly queer musicians, and their permanent impact on the music landscape. Get your composition notebooks out for a very important lesson on what a PRO (Performing Rights Organization) is, and why all musicians should be affiliated with them. History class will take us back to the 13th century when a not-so-innocent pope dropped a new type of mass. 

Speaking of mass. Our musical feature is from "Red Mass Ritual", and we’ll listen to their song "Sometimes Dead is Better”. This song is off their E.P. “Burgundy Horror“, released on Halloween, 2024. Representing the band is Vinny - their guitarist - as he gives us his legal take on wendigos. Links below.

Episode three. You know the deal. We talk about music and stuff.

Tackling topics such as the importance of remaining grounded, the silencing of the letter G, and the importance of counting to six. This episode goes out to all the bass player(s) out there. You probably forgot there's bass players out there. Well, we captured one. Tom, from Paragnosis, is forced to - I mean, chooses to - have a chat with us.

Our musical feature is from "Paragnosis", playing their song Learned Behavior. This song is off their self-titled E.P. (Paragnosis), released in 2024. Links below.

Episode two of what Ish and Tony do naturally - talk about music and stuff.

Did you know Tony's first little league baseball team won only one game out of twenty four? Spoiler alert: that win was granted because it was raining, and the other team didn't show up.

Tackling topics including Keith Moon, the Dave Matthews Band tour bus debacle, how much a John Lennon lyric sheet went for at auction, and Tony's musical origin story.

Our musical feature is from "Us The Unknown", with their song Ineffable Emotions. This is Tony's current musical project, located in Long Beach, NY. Link below.

Welcome to The Sebastian Bach of Episodes. We had a great run.

Turn the music up! Get your spices out. We’re going to explore new genres. From the summer of punk, to shoegaze, all the way to motherfucking princess Leia. In no particular order. Who knew November 4th was an entire event in music history?

Our musical guest is Shoot Da 5, a hardcore/beatdown band, con sazon. Before we listen to "Drivin' While Black (Pleasure & Pain)” off the EP: Language of Da Unheard (released January, 2024), we’ll hang with Shay, their vocalist, who wouldn’t be vocalizing if not for a butt-ass-naked cassette tape that became her nexus event.
