The one, the only, Eugene Robinson is on the podcast today. For the uninitiated Eugene is the vocalist for long running artistic post-punk/metal/whatever band Oxbow as well as an author of many books including his upcoming memoir entitled A Walk Across Dirty Water. He's a really outspoken dude and has a long history within punk/hardcore so we peeled back the layers and got into why enjoys writing, sex clubs and how cool it is that he is on the back of the SSD record cover.

HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY TO THE PODCAST! It's wild to say, but this show has been around for 11 years and has changed my life but most importantly, I thank you the listener for caring about DIY culture, punk/hardcore/metal and everything in between...as long as it comes from small/sweaty rooms. Today is a special one because I get to chat with Nick Hexum from the legendary 311. While it may seem like this mainstream band has very little to do with our "scene" so to speak...their origins are rooted within punk. Their very first show was with Fugazi for heavens sake! Nick and I get deep with their DIY origins and the Omaha scene.

I am absolutely thrilled to welcome an incredibly thoughtful human and prolific musician, Dan Yemin. He's played in Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, Paint It Black and his most recent project, Open City is about to drop their new LP on Get Better Records..needless to say, he's been in all of our collective ears for many years. Pull up a digital chair and listen to Dan and I talk about his academic life, intentions and his desire to never make a "living" off of music. So thankful for his time and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast here (executive produced by yours truly)  Buy Podcast Merch Here Theme Song by Tapestry Gold Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Listen to “More On That”, a supplementary podcast to 100 Words on Spotify exclusively Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).

Top of the morning to ya! Pardon the horrible cliche but we have an Irish punk veteran on the show this week in the form of Cormy from Geld. While he's since moved to Australia and plays in the band (who just released a ripper on Relapse Records) he has his roots in Ireland and we discuss all things his band, building your own scene and a deep conversation about identity. After you've listened to this chat dive into Geld and thank me later.  Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast here (executive produced by yours truly)  Buy Podcast Merch Here Theme Song by Tapestry Gold Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Listen to “More On That”, a supplementary podcast to 100 Words on Spotify exclusively Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).

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!  Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast here (executive produced by yours truly)  Buy Podcast Merch Here Theme Song by Tapestry Gold Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Listen to “More On That”, a supplementary podcast to 100 Words on Spotify exclusively Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).
