Excellent long form interview podcast with lots of well known and not so well known (but should be well known) musicians. Highly recommended.
Steev is an all out GREAT GUY! He has been there, done that and has a million great stories to tell. Anything you want to know about music, he’s got it. If you ever get the pleasure to speak to him you can go for hours without feeling anytime pass.
Steev has been a constant source inside knowledge of the Boston (and beyond) Indy rock scene and I’ve been glad to know of him since the jitty pre Y2K era of 1999.
All around cool guy who likes cats and pro wrestling. The pod is worth a listen - just please get The Chelsea Curve on while I’m still able to hear it.
Steve does a really great job and clearly does his homework with all his guests !! The conversation is easy flowing and he has some true icons on his podcast, Highly recommended !!
It’s very cool to be able to listen to the stories, origins & thoughts by a lot of these local rockers that I’ve only seen live or heard from the turntable!
I fully deep dove on this podcast!!
