Whatever Comes Next with Tom Osman

Getting to know the music makers out on the fringes

Music

Frequency: 1 episode/6d. Total Eps: 152

On Whatever Comes Next I explore the world of independent and underground music making. I talk with music makers, producers and label owners to hear their stories. I like music with a sense of mystery. I like surprises and unique stories... and noise... and weirdness... and darkness... and I want to learn more.

Episode 65: Sludgebucket

Tuesday, April 15, 2025 • Duration 01:04:49

Formed in the mid 2000s by Kelly Waldrip, Oakland, California's Sludgebucket have gone through many evolutions to reach the current heavy-fusion sound of their latest album Vampiric Earth.

With the band now composed of Kelly on bass and Marc Kaufman on drums Vampiric Earth is a funky, heavy record full of slippery rhythms and clever instrumental interplay between the duo.

Kelly and Marc join me to discuss the record, their inspirations and the history of Sludgebucket.

Thanks to Kyle at Good Boy PR

Closing track: "Floating In Dead Space Between The Stars"

Episode64: Frankie Clarke (Frankie and The Studs)

Tuesday, April 8, 2025 • Duration 56:47

Life's a Glitch is the debut record by rock 'n' roll group Frankie and The Studs (out now on Dead Beat Records) and the album marks the culmination of almost ten years of various songwriting sessions and lineups.

Bandleader Frankie Clarke's music-making experience goes back even further and as the daughter of guitarist, singer and producer Gilby Clarke (who has recorded much of her band's work) she was already learning about life in the entertainment world before she ever recorded or performed herself.

We discuss the band, the latest record and tales from Frankie's formative years.

Thanks to Katz at Junkfood PR.

Closing track: "She's Insane"

Episode 55: Endless Dive

Tuesday, February 4, 2025 • Duration 41:55

Formed as a four-piece ten years ago, Belgian, instrumental-rock group Endless Dive were reduced to the duo of Pierre Van Vlaenderen and Nathan Mondez prior to the making of their latest record Souvenances (released on the 28th of February, via Floral Records and Luik).

Drawing together guitars, electronic textures and old, childhood VHS recordings, Souvenances is like a long-lost audio photo book discovered in an attic. Evocative and beautiful.

Pierre and Nathan discuss the making of the record, some of the band's history and their plans for once again playing as a four-piece.

On the 21st of February this year the band releases their debut, full-length record, So Often Lifeblood Comes From Ashes via Atypeek Music, Araki Records and Urgence Disk.

Episode 51: Sleepbomb

Tuesday, January 7, 2025 • Duration 01:06:48

San Francisco's Sleepbomb make heavy, psychedelic, atmospheric metal and lay this intense sonic landscape on top of iconic movies.

Most recently the band has created a companion to scenes from George A. Romero's classic horror movie Night of the Living Dead, entitled The Sleeping Dead.

With the 24th of January seeing the album's release on Koolarrow / Consouling Sounds, the band's Tim Gotch and Charlie Hernandez join me to discuss the album and some of their other compositions from Sleepbomb's two decades of making music.

Episode 50: Michael Blenkarn-Durning (An Axis Of Perdition, Nemorous)

Tuesday, December 31, 2024 • Duration 01:19:36

On the 13th of December, 2024 An Axis Of Perdition (the long-running highly-conceptual, extreme-metal project of Michael Blenkarn-Durning and Brooke Johnson) released their latest album Apertures on Apocalyptic Witchcraft Recordings.

A couple of months earlier I caught up with Michael to reflect on the two parallel creative impulses that drive his music making—on the one hand the urban, industrialised mode that comes out in An Axis Of Perdition, alongside the fascination with the natural world that finds expression in Nemorous.

We also discuss Michael’s earliest music-making experiences, his thoughts on black metal, music formats and what 2025 holds in store for Nemorous—with the band due to perform new music at Rebellion, Manchester in February and Fortress Festival later in the year (alongside Ulcerate, The Great Old Ones, Agalloch and many others).

Episode 49: DUNN with LORDS AND LADY KEVIN

Tuesday, December 24, 2024 • Duration 52:27

Last days at hot slit is the latest musical offering from former Cows bassist Kevin Rutmanis.

Having started his own solo project during Covid lockdown (initially as Lord Kevin and His Slide Bass), Rutmanis has since collaborated with drummer/artist Gina Skwoz and multi-instrumentalist Trevor Dunn (of Mr Bungle and too many other projects to mention).

The latest record is the first to feature all three of them together and they're altogether in this interview too … with me.

And oh what a pleasure to be in their company. Full of insights, full of fun, surreal and absurd. Exactly what I would hope for from these great, creative individuals.

Closing track: "Humanity One" (Overdrive Records, 2024)

Episode 48: Ian Lanspeary (Common Wounds)

Tuesday, December 17, 2024 • Duration 01:14:46

All Night Blood is a powerful, fiery and emotive rock record by Phoenix, Arizona post-hardcore quintet Common Wounds (out now on Protagonist Music).

While the record is the band's full-length debut, guitarist and vocalist Ian Lanspeary has been making music for over 20 years.

We delve into Ian's musical upbringing, some of the many musical inspirations that found their way onto the latest record, songwriting and how the musical landscape has changed for independent artists over the past two decades.
