TagsEqual Vision Fearless Pierce The Veil Vic Fuentes

Backstage Pass: Retro Edition – Episode 9

SHOW: IndieUprising #11
AIR DATE: Wed, 27 June 2007

I discovered Pierce The Veil in 2007 when I received the Equal Vision press release announcing their debut album, A Flair For The Dramatic which released the week of this original podcast. I was able to talk to lead singer Vic Fuentes about the album and the band. I’m glad that Pierce The Veil has continued, unlike so many of the bands I had interviewed. Now on Fearless Records, their newest album Collide With The Sky was released in 2012 and it’s their best yet. The band has also released a documentary called This Is A Wasteland documenting their most recent world tour.

I really dug the band Everdae. They were from Downey, CA and put out a solid EP. However, their singer Omar decided to leave the band to start his own pop-synth solo project, Ohmie. Here is the interview with Paul and Omar that took place right after their EP came out.

TagsEvan Weiss Intersections Into It. Over It. Life Is Suffering Topshelf Records Triple Crown Records

Backstage Pass: Retro Edition – Episode 6

In July of 2008, my podcast IndieUprising was doing pretty well. I was broadcast on XNDRadio and because of that I was given tons of “professional” sounding bumpers and stings. I had the opportunity to speak to Evan Weiss of Into It. Over It. I’m still pretty happy with this interview and am glad to see Evan has continued in his success with his project. Enjoy listening to this interview! I’d love to speak to him for a future Fireside Lounge podcast. You can currently get his book/7″ Life Is Suffering right now via Topshelf Records. Also, look for the upcoming full length Intersections out on September 24th via Triple Crown Records.

TagsDan Maloney Death Ships

Backstage Pass: Retro Edition – Episode 5

The one thing I loved the most about doing the music podcast are the bands that have become some of my favorite all-time bands. Death Ships was one of those bands. Their album Seeds Of Devastation surprised me at how good it was. From the CD packaging to the music, this wasn’t amateur hour. Death Ships meant business. This was a good band. Immediately I knew I needed to interview Dan Maloney founding member and main songwriter of Death Ships. In December of 2006 that happened.

TagsDenton Adam Mourning September Neversaynever Sum 41 The Dear Hunter The Springs

Backstage Pass: Retro Edition – Episode 4

On October 17th, 2006 I spoke with Denton Adam about his band The Springs. I had friends in a band called Mourning September and they had been on tour together. This was when I had just started the podcast and I really loved The Springs’ tunes. Needless to say, you can tell I was a bumbling nervous wreck. I have no idea why. Denton doesn’t seem to be in a band any more, but he’s keeping buy running the Front Of House for the band The Dear Hunter and I believe he’s on the road right now with Nevershoutnever! for Warped! Tour. He’s also worked with Sum 41.

TagsDanny Wolf Small Towns Burn A Little Slower Wrestling With Wolves

Backstage Pass: Retro Edition – Episode 3

This week I resurrect a conversation I had with my old friend Danny Wolf. I’ve always loved his voice and the projects he’s been in. When I spoke with him back in October of 2006 his band Small Towns Burn A Little Slower were in the middle of recording their second album, So Begins The Test Of A Man. I still love this album. During the interview I also play one of my favorite songs of theirs, “Wait For Me Abbey Bernstein” off their first full length Morality As Home Entertainment. Danny now has a called Wrestling With Wolves. They have two tracks up on their Bandcamp page. I suggest you give them some love.

Tagsbear trap pr beartrappr chuck daley deep elm Deep Elm Records tiny engines

Backstage Pass: Retro Edition – Episode 2

On August 7, 2007 I interviewed Chuck Daley about Deep Elm Records. At the time he was the “Promotional Director” for Deep Elm Records and I remember being pretty nervous leading up to this discussion. As you’ll hear, I had some technical difficulties and the audio quality of the conversation was a bit rough.

Chuck now runs Beartrap PR, a PR firm that handles a lot of bands on the East Coast. They provide about 75% of the tunes you hear on each week’s show. If you’re in a band and need someone to handle your PR…Chuck and Will over at Beartrap PR are your guys. They also run a record label, Tiny Engines. Check out ALL their bands. Great stuff.
