Paul Figueroa, known professionally as Paul Fig, is the product of a literal lifetime in music. As a child, Paul grew up running around in his father's Jazz Club. In 1994 he joined his friend Casey Chaos in the Ross Robinson/ I AM Recordings artists AMEN, a lethal hybrid of Punk/Hardcore/Metal/Nu-Metal. In 2001 Paul joined the psyched out Punks in Bluebird, and began his career behind the boards on the storied and sublime Neve control board that was custom built for the facility.

Since then, Paul has been mixing, engineering, producing , composing, and getting Grammy nods. You can follow him at https://paulfigmusic.com.

We, the collective at 3:33 AM Productions, welcome you back to our flagship Podcast. It has been a wild and tumultuous few months, and we would like to humbly thank you all for your patience. This week we have Kenny Elkin of Cult Lecture/Vali S.C. He is not here pushing a new record (though he has one on the horizon with some incredible people), he stopped by to reconnect a standing bond that we've shared since we had first met. This episode is an ode to friendship. Kenny's film and music works are available on YouTube @cultlecture, all streaming platforms, and "To Set The Sea In Wolves Teeth" cassette as well as longsleeve tees available at https://summerdarlingtapes.bigcartel.com, https://cultlectureatx.bigcartel.com

Today, while you attempt to ignore the overdraft fees and oncoming credit statements from another Black Friday of big ticket purchases and wine hangovers, I present the solace via my conversation with Matt from Now After Nothing. The new E.P. "Artificial Ambivalence" (available on streaming and physical media, including vinyl) is now available at https://nowafternothing.bandcamp.com. They have been featured on ION Indie Magazine, Post-Punk.com, OffShelf.net, and Idioteq.com, and their trajectory is undeniable. NAN are poised to break their brand of S&M Discotheque anthems to a much broader listenership.

Samhain is upon us, an what better soundtrack (aside from the Ramones, The Misfits, and The Cramps) than a duo that harnesses Electro, New Wave, Vetch House, Post Punk, and Darkwave into the Punk spectrum like Vempire? It serves as the most saccharine of treats for you Halloween trickery as the undead are given agency over the living and the veil thins!  https://vempiretheband.bandcamp.com

TRIGGER WARNING!!! This episode deals with child abuse/S.A. and S.N.A.P. (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests).

Luke Schmaltz and King Rat have been a staple of the Denver Punk Rock community for 30 years. He has been a staff writer for Modern Drunkard, a bar and club owner, and now... he is a novelist. "The Belcher (Overserved Underdog)" is a book about a survivor in a world that has disdain for such archetypes. It is a comic book storyline that serves as an allegory for Luke's own life story and continuing struggles. This is an episode that will stun you. Be warned.

I'd like to introduce, "They Haven't Figured Out What's Wrong With Me," my new album which reflects my deep sense of personal existentialism over the past few years. Does life have an inherent meaning? The ten songs are about grappling with internal conflicts and trying to make sense of what makes me, me. 

What makes this record different is, to most, it would be considered an unfinished piece of work. Rather than go into a studio and professionally record the songs with a producer or engineer, I chose to keep them in pure form, how they were written and intended. I wrote, sang, performed, and recorded all in the comfort of my home. I did not want others' fingerprints on this record, as I should bear sole responsibility. 

This record marks a departure from my band LEWIS, which I left earlier this year, making it a true solo endeavor.

The first track, "Enmity" was the last song written for the album and is a song that brings feelings of opposition. "Well, I squeezed out / Then I squeezed in / There's something about it / You squeezed me again." 

When I wrote "Palm Meets Pine," I was considering the intersection of different aspects of my personality. It's like two contrasting elements, symbolizing the familiar and unfamiliar. It leans more on change, and less on growth. 

"Pixel Debris" emerged rather quickly after I considered throwing everything I own into a firepit and had the realization to, "Put a pin in it anyway / Repair the pixel debris." 

"Did You Get a Chance to Look at the Moon?" was written about the Uvlande School massacre in Texas and "Chronic Sigher" is in regards to my observant and hypervigilant nature -- a la, "I don't know what I got into / I don't know what I got." I tend to find significance in the small things, like audibly sighing to myself, much to the chagrin and annoyance of others nearby. 

Upon discovering that one leg is longer than the other, causing me to lean while I cook, I wrote, "Why Can't I Stand on Two Feet While in the Kitchen?" The kitchen also represents a theoretical space, and the inability to stand straight, likely symbolizing the feeling of being overwhelmed. 

The finale of the album, "Poor Tongue Between 32 Teeth" is a meta-experiment about writing this album. "Scene of the crime / I left my footprints behind / I'm not inclined / To let my melons decline." I am the tongue, and you are a tooth. 

Tonight we celebrate the forthcoming E.P. from Carrion Empire. Forged from the ashes and ore of the Pacific Northwest's most under-rated band, Murderbait. These masked men create existentially dark, literarily Gothic, musically dire post-sludge-doom-folk that will appeal to fans of Wovenhand, the Screaming Trees, Acid Bath, the Sisters of Mercy, Sleep, and Neurosis. The Vocalist/Keyboardist/Songwriter ( I don’t know why I listed him as the guitarist when he’s never played one in the band… my bad) of Carrion Empire and I are close friends. Within this episode, we carve a new path to reciprocity, kinship, and empathy. The new E.P. delivers something epic, plodding, and insurmountable. Melt With Us. https://www.instagram.com/carrion_empire?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== https://sweet-cheetah-records.com https://linktr.ee/BookOfVeryVeryBadThings?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=82fc0a9a-afe7-486b-a0d9-973943c90dfe

We have returned from Summer exile with a long awaited melding of minds. The Great Christopher lewis and Peter delve into the ultra personal, forgo the music and concentrate of what it means to be friends.

No links. No Frills. All truth.

Thank you for your patience.

Nathaniel and I hunker down to dissect the state of modern music, the paranormal, crypts UAPs, Art Bell, and life along the primrose path. This episode is offered unedited. https://saintvitusbar.myshopify.com https://nathanielshannon.com https://rootlesscoffee.com ,

From the Saint Vitus Shop- SAINT VITUS BAR: THE FIRST TEN YEARS, AN ORAL AND VISUAL HISTORY, written and pieced together by esteemed photographer, director and Saint Vitus colleague Nathaniel Shannon, is a massive 350-page deep dive, collaged archive, exploring the first decade of Saint Vitus Bar. 

With over 100 contributors, The First Ten Years presents interviews, stories, photographs, posters, essays and tons of other never before seen documents from the bars history, including a foreword by Walter Schreifels from Quicksand, and featuring tidbits from Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, Jeff Walker of Carcass, Saint Vitus (band), The Descendents, Anthrax, Against Me! Eyehategod, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Armed, Chuck Klosterman, and many many many more. 

Nathaniel Shannon was catapulted into my orbit via my dear friend Damien Moyal. Since our meeting, he and I have become great friends, and together have much in store for the future. In this part 1, we discuss his intro to music, the creation of the book, Hum, The Pixies, Limblifter, aliens fingering their buttholes, his documentary work on Deadguy - Killing Music.... We dig deep. You should too.

His contributions via creating and Djing, founding the legendary Homebase record store and venue, helping to found the Wilkes-Barre Fest (which morphed into the Positive Numbers Fest), throwing raves, and playing synth for An Albatross all culminated in his position working for the biggest names in pop music today.

Carl has an intrinsic sense of positivity, curiosity, and spirituality that is totally infectious! Stay tuned for part 2!

This is the visual component of our discussion with Dave from P.O.A.C. Tonight, legendary Hardcore/Punk vocalist Dave Ackerman (Tear It Up, Dead Nation, Pagan Rituals) and I celebrate the release of Culture Of Death, the lates album by Planet On A Chain on Revelation Records.

This album embodies everything I love about Hardcore. The political IS personal, the tempos are played at breakneck speed, the vocals are searingly pissed, and theres nary a tinge of metal, it is Punk played at 200mph.

We discuss the good old days, the bad new ones, our mutual love of left leaning politics and Pitbull Terriers, animals in general, music, love, and death.

Do not miss this one. I really love this guy. I REALLY love this band.

Tommy Walter is a certified journeyman in the world of music, having studied it in both a scholarly manner and as a devout fan. He parlayed his experience in classical and jazz into a career that began (professionally) along side E (Mark Oliver Everett), striking a deal with fledgeling heavyweight Dreamworks, and (eventually) receiving Gold and Platinum certifications for the album "Beautiful Freak".

After his stint in Eels, Tommy struck out on his own, formed the group Metromax (later Tely) and released an album digitally. This project gave rise to what we now know as Abandoned Pools. In 2001, the breathtakingly orchestrated and emotionally riveting "Humanistic" was released to great fanfare and generated heat from the dynamic 1-2 punch of singles "The Remedy" and "Mercy Kiss".

The criminally under-rated "Reverb" EP & "Armed To The Teeth" followed in Summer/Fall of 2005. This led to stints with other projects (Glacier Hiking, Oliver The Penguin, solo work) as well as providing the soundtrack to animated series Clone High.

Tommy returned to Abandoned Pools and added to it's discography many times along the way, consistently creating monoliths of powerful dream-pop with electronic ambience and emotional wallop. Today, the crowd-sourced and sonically sublime "The Haunted House" is available to the general public, as is our conversation. Please support Tommy via:

Tonight we gather to celebrate DEMONS (out TODAY), the new album from Metallic Punk Industrialists NONEXISTER. Tonight we chat with songwriter, lyricists and vocal acrobat (his voice is sheer, unadulterated power) Nik Leuthold.

From their Bio: Zürich-based industrial metal band NONEXISTER is set to release their debut album Demons on March 15. The release thrives on the interplay between the energy of electronic music and the catharsis of heavy music. To celebrate, the band has shared a video for the track “A Promise In The Air.”

Producer and multi-instrumentalist Marco Neeser says about the new single, "'A Promise In The Air' is the antithesis of a pop song. It is long, it builds up slowly, it leads the listener astray by beginning with a pulsating synth line and seductive, intimate vocals, and then finally dissolving into an epic finale of guitars."

• The band has also shared videos for the tracks “Your Pain Up My Veins,” “Drowning In The Void,” and “How Do You Dare.”

• NONEXISTER thrives on the interplay of electronic energy and hard catharsis with a sound akin to an after-hours club at the end of the world.

• Demons is a journey through the unfathomable depths of human nature — that's what the lyrics are about and that's how it sounds. It is dramatic, possibly disturbing, sometimes ironic, and now and then, quite surprising.

• The album was recorded at Marco's home studio and New Sound Studio with producer Tommy Vetterli, known as the mastermind of Coroner and member of legendary thrashers Kreator, adding another dimension to the production. Vetterli also composed the backings and adlibs together with vocalist/co-producer Nik Leuthold.

• The “How Do You Dare” video was directed by Dave Bullivant and shot in Lithuania. The female lead was played by Brit Selina Jones, a rising star in the British theater sky, who won the 2022 Black British Theater Awards in the category "Best Female Actor in a Play," and has also appeared in the Netflix production Kaos, as well as the HBO Max series Raised By Wolves.

‘Demons’ is a journey through the depths of the human soul - dark, disturbing, dynamic,

contradictory, and deeply emotional. While it’s full of pummeling grooves that are ready for the mosh pit, there are also eerie, strange moments that gnaw at the listener’s brain. The band swings like a pendulum between moments of industrial ecstasy and mosh-worthy outbursts.

We are back from my self imposed exile (via a rather aggressive viral blight), and we are bringing Dan from Broken Hearts Are Blue with us! BHAB began as a Midwest Emo group, infusing elements of indie rock along the way, their new album, "Meeting Themselves", is a full on evolution. In this episode that very switch is discussed, along with the joys of parenting, the dread that comes with the rise of Neo-Fascism, the dynamics of a group that had begun as very young men, and the beauty in exploration of sound.

Tonight, on a special Saturday episode, we speak with our old friend Dez of Lesser Care about the recently released digital EP "Face Turn", the teaser for upcoming album "Heel Turn". Having been in the can for 2 years, the record was fully self funded and released, produced, mixed, and engineered by the man with "God-like Ears" - Phillip Odom, and mastered by the great Will Yip. This album is on my early short list for record of the year.

Dez and I delve into the MO of the group the reasons why the record was unreleased for almost 24 months, the fact that LP 3 is already finished, being your own brand, and the lingering presence of the grim reaper. Cameo by my son, Canaan Peter Tanski!

Ed Hamell of Hamell on Trial has been the first name in Punk informed "Anti-Folk" for over 30 years. In the 1990's he signed with Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe Records, which garnered more fans and accolades, but "Bring The Kids" is a perfect example of why Hamell still stirs the hearts and minds of his staunchly loyal fanbase. It is a statement of dissatisfaction with the political, social, and subconscious. It is an album of love and hate songs, Punk and folk songs, electronic and acoustic songs. It has as much in common with Pete Seeger as it does with Husker Du, the Beastie Boys, and Portishead. It gleans from all it finds sonically interesting and then reinvents it for it's own ends. This is the penultimate Hamell record, you lucky dogs.

Vadge is an icon of Punk libidinousness and bacchanalia, having survived the highs and lows of that lifestyle and lived to craft his new novel "My Life After The Dwarves: More Sex, Drugs, Debauchery, And The Devil". We cover his spiritual journey through Thelema, Buddhism, and beyond. The depths of addiction, the power of empathy, and the triumph of Love Under Will. You can find his book exclusively on Amazon.com. https://vadgemoore.com

Tonight, my friends Joseph and Benjamin of the great Palm Ghosts celebrate the release of Sweet Cheetah Records 1, "I Love You, Burn In Hell". We get spiritual, we get political, we get emotional... It's the Book, after all. The tale of how this recording came to be, the struggles of being an indie artist, all of that is washed over in light of good, old fashioned conversation. We love this record, so should you.

The Revelation Records yellow and black R within a star has been the hallmark of quality and credibility within the Hardcore scene. It's of little surprise that a group with Calling Hours' pedigree (and Popeye's golden voice) would find a home there. In this special Audio Only episode, Popeye and I wade into the currents off memory, the impetus of our friendship, how he came to become a naturalized Scranton, Pennsylvanian and member of Calling hours, Farside, the late Jonathan Bunch of Sense Field, and a multitude of other musings and ramblings

Higher Plans is the first Shadyside record in 18 years, and by gawd was it worth the wait. At a short but sweet five track run time, the Ohio unit exercise 2 decades of demons and atrophy. Chip, Wendell, and Michael join Peter to map the band’s formation, recorded material, performances, and inner dynamics. We explore the necessity of personal space, family, love, and youthful revelry. We clarify the impetus of the records’s visual components, release, and the incredible Mind Over Matter records. We get ill. https://mindovermatterrecords.com https://shadysidemusic.bandcamp.com  All music used by Kind Permission of Mind Over Matter Records and Shadyside.
