100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

My heart is in...well, you get it if you existed anywhere in the mid 2000's emo scene as Hawthorne Heights was INESCAPABLE during that time. I have the pleasure of hanging out with JT Woodruff from the band who plays guitar and is the lead singer. We have a very open and honest conversation about being corny adjacent (or sometimes, right on top of corny), playing late night shows and the legacy of the band as they enter their 20th year of playing together. JT is straight edge, loves hardcore and is such a nice dude so I was happy to get to know him a lot better during this and hope you do as well. Check out their Is For Lovers Festival as they wrap up with a few last dates this summer and plan on bringing it back next year!

Elated to share this conversation with Christina Ward who is the Vice President of Feral House Publishing and an author. They are one of the most prolific indie publishers around hitting subcultures all across the spectrum from black metal, satanism, psychedelics and so much more. I picked up the bookLords of Chaos many years ago and have since followed their publishing journey. We go in deep about the publishing world, her own experience writing (her new book,Holy Food, all about cults, communes and their influence on food is out now) and how music is at the heart of it all. Listen and get exposed to some incredible non-fiction!

Oh boy, this one has been on my "list" for awhile and glad we were able to make this happen. I have Wes Eisold from American Nightmare and Cold Cave chatting with us today. The introspective Wes and I dive into his experience growing up with a father in the Navy, staying connected/present and fending for yourself. Cold Cave is on tour in September and October, so make sure you check out their site for more info. American Nightmare also just released a new EP that you need to listen to as well. OUR LOVE IS ALL THAT WE EVER HAD.

We got a lot of Cleveland hardcore talk this week with none other than Eric Egan from Heart Attack Man! Eric is a funny man on the internet and truthfully, that's where I discovered the band but once I did, I was happy. Eric and I dig into his Cleveland upbringing, following creative impulses and online humor in general. I sometimes use this podcast to make friends and Eric and I became that after this discussion. Enjoy the discussion!

This is a bonus episode from a live recording I did at the Outbreak Festival in the UK with Jem, the vocalist of Speed. This episode was released on the Outbreak Official Podcast feed a few weeks back, but I wanted to encourage listeners of 100 Words to come on over and follow this show. We will be posting more live chats and other artist on artist interviews of people who are involved in the festival. Here's more detail below

-----

In our first live installment from the festival, we are honored to welcome Jem from Speed. We discuss many things including their quick rise, his life back home in Australia and gratitude. Oh also, and flute playing.

Please visit outbreak-fest.co.uk for more information about the festival. Executive producers of the show are Ray Harkins, Ollie Horner, Tom Barton and Jordan Coupland. Intro and outro music kindly provided by Cloudkicker.

Live episodes are produced by Mikele Boyle and Simone Trequattrini.

An often overlooked person within our whole music industry structure is the promoter/booker and I love to highlight people that create the spaces for us to watch bands, have an experience and connect. Dave Castillo books for an essential venue in the NYC area called Saint Vitus that you most likely have heard of (or seen a show at). The venue is memorializing their first 12 years in business with an amazing hardcover book (funded via Kickstarter) by Nathanial Shannon. I had to have Dave on to talk about the in's and out's of running the venue, his upbringing in Long Island and his most underrated event they've done at the space.

Very excited to welcome back my friend, Scott Lee to the program. He's a music biz veteran and one of the founders of the recently re-launched, New England Metal and Hardcore Festival...which is why he is on today. We discuss why the festival is back, music industry musings and the intersection of metal and hardcore. I love his perspective and sweet nature as a human. I don't welcome many people back to the pod in short order, but Scott was an exception. Make sure to check out the stacked lineup of the festival and come out to hang!

In celebration of their impending "reunion" (since they have been doing shows off/on the past 10 or so years), I had to bring my friend Steven Andrew Miller from Unbroken on the podcast. This was a long time coming as we attempted to do this when he lived in California but now we get to dive deep into San Diego hardcore, legacy and happy accidents. Also, I finally get the answer to how much it cost to record "Life.Love.Regret" (spoiler alert, not very much). A great discussion so kick back and enjoy!

We are lucky to be bringing you not just ONE human from a band, but TWO this week. First up we have Jeff Irwin, the guitarist from long standing metal/hardcore heroes Will Haven. Then, to top it off we have Grady Avenell, the vocalist of the band. The love runs deep within the band and the fact they are releasing their SEVENTH full length is a testament to it. We discuss Sacramento hardcore, being a-political and life outside of the band. Bang your head.

Holy screamo episode! We have the dude behind bands like Loma Prieta and Jeromes Dream, Sean Leary. He plays guitar in both bands and has been in/around that particular scene for many years so I was happy to invite him on and pick his brain. We discuss what it's like being an only child, the amazingness of a band like Shotmaker and his career in photography.
