HiddenTrack #274 ACTOR OBSERVER (Greg Marquis)
Q: If no one had heard Actor Observer, what one song would you play to make an impression?
Found Wanting is the gut reaction, as it encapsulates the band's current sound and Journey, with a strong breakdown that could showcase their energy and slice through expectations.
HiddenTrack #276 HORACE PINKER (Scott Eastman, Bryan Jones, Greg Mytych & at times Ford)
Q: If someone had three minutes to play one Horace Pinker song to a newcomer, what would you choose?
Scott suggests a song that embodies the band's energy and history, while others add their picks to reflect personal favorites and the evolution of the band's sound; the discussion emphasizes choosing tracks that showcase their pop-punk blend and tight rhythm section.
HiddenTrack #281 ROSEVILLE (Jake Lyon)
Q: What were your early influences and how did you transition from classic rock to your current sound?
Jake details a progression from Led Zeppelin and Rush through indie and shoegaze, mentioning Decemberists as a pivotal influence that helped him see songs as stories and to value songwriter collaboration.
HiddenTrack #281 ROSEVILLE (Jake Lyon)
Q: How did Roseville begin, and what was the initial spark for the project?
Jake describes starting in 2018 with Kevin, recording ambient guitar music, and using a coffee shop rehearsal space; they were green but excited, with Cory helping to record and mix the early releases.
HiddenTrack #275 ST. TERRIBLE (Zach Herbert)
Q: What sparked your initial interest in music and how did that influence your approach to making music later on?
Early exposure to a mix of rock and pop through family and friends, plus exploring radio and DIY scenes, shaped a hands-on, collaborative approach—one that valued improvisation, community, and finding a personal voice rather than chasing trends.
