  • SPIT IT OUT MAN

    The podcast is decent. Guests are cool. I just wish the host wouldn’t try to fit 20 words in a 5 word question. He starts to ask the question and then drags it out with “ums” “likes” “such as” etc.. maybe write down the question and just read it word for word. Or if you can’t form the question in your head just let the guest speak. Again, good content, just some quirks to work on. I’ll be listening.

  • One of the best if you love this scene

    Mason & Cullen are great together, they get the best guests and ask really good questions.

    Growing up in this Tooth and Nail/ Solid State/ Christian music scene is great to listen to the artists that I listen to and hearing about new bands to discover. Keep up the great work! Oh and keep working on getting Josh Scogin to come on 🤘

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bleach on Reuniting, their New Album, and if They Identify as a Christian Band
Q: What is the current status of Bleach and what can fans expect in the near term?
The band is actively touring, has new music in the works including a Fox Den Volume 2, and plans to release Epidermis Girl as a single with a broader project around The Sessions and a potential new Bleach single in 2027, along with continued live performances.
Levi Benton on the Legacy of Miss May I and their New Album
Q: How has the band's approach to making music changed after twenty years and a major lineup shift?
We've moved toward a more DIY mindset, leaning on trusted collaborators, embracing the opportunity to experiment without being forced into the old, corporate playbook, and treating the process as something we genuinely enjoy rather than a job.
Levi Benton on the Legacy of Miss May I and their New Album
Q: What were you hoping to explore sonically or thematically with No Place For Me that you hadn't in previous albums?
We aimed to push into soundscapes and production ideas we'd held back, especially with a new lineup, while still keeping the emotional core and accessibility that fans expect from us.
Mae on the Legacy of The Everglow
Q: What is a band on paper you should like but you can't get into?
Zach mentions Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. as bands he should like but hasn't connected with yet, while Dave cites older pre-scene acts like The Smiths and Fugazi as bands he never quite connected to, despite their influence on others in the scene.
Josh Porter from Showbread on the Legacy of Age of Reptiles
Q: What do you want to plug or share about your current projects?
Porter highlights his work as a pastor at Van City Church in Vancouver, Washington, ongoing writing projects including fiction and non-fiction, and a solo album direction inspired by early Elvis Costello, while noting Showbread remains active in a text-thread-like format.
