First Names

Josh and Shelby. Captains of Cringe. Nolan Potter. Wizard of Weird. Can you imagine a more appetizing combo? (This is rhetorical. We know peanut butter and celery exists.) We filmed this in his house (with real cameras). This discussion includes topics such as: 1. Nolan's recording setup and process. 2. What really makes The Lord of the Rings special. 3. Is Austin still Austin? Dive deep with us as we swim the murky waters of Nolan. Did that last part sound weird? I'm feeling weird about it. We meant for it to sound cool. Let us know.

Shelbert and Jernie speak to Bert Hoover of Hooveriii about music, the benefits of a label, and navigating the digital future via social media. Butterfly in the sky. I can go twice as high. take a look. It's in a podcast. A Couch Radio.

Josh and Shelby made a long distance call to Zak Olsen [Traffik Island, ORB, Hierophant, The Frowning Clouds] in Melbourne on April 27th, 2020. Zak is a stellar, prolific songwriter and multi-instrumentalist wizard who doesn't pigeonhole himself to a single genre. He's diligent to the craft and usually chooses to spend his days in his studio. He's most likely there right now. Like, right now. Traffik Island's newest record is titled 'Sweat Kollecta's Peanut Butter Traffik Jam' and it's a genre-bending, beat-driven, groovy record that you should check out right meow.

Shelby and Josh talk to Lexi and Staz from The Paranoyds. They create scowling,  grungy garage rock goodness with clap-along twee.
