  What we see and here is not only a gift from Ian via Ink 19. If is a fine example of early 90's Grunge. Proof that Grunge was pretty much everywhere at the time. I had the pleasure to see this Orlando based band play a few times. They always had great musicianship and good hair.   Self Titled : SLOW Release date: 1991 Produced by Mark Mason and Slow Recorded at the Bat Cave Track list: - Fluid Flowers - Indian Red - Six     Sites:  dontfreak.tumblr.com facebook.com/dont freak audio zine email: dontfreakzine@gmail.com   host/producer: Adriaan Mol

    The Orlando Music History Group on Facebook has been blowing up lately.  So much I thought it might be time to play this cassette.  A lot of the bands on this cassette have been piping in and sharing old stories, posters, and merch. It has been very entertaining to say the least.     This is side A of a mix tape of Florida bands.  Most of whom were from the Orlando area.  It is a good representation of the Hardcore (and some of the Metalcore) community during the early 90's.  The cassette was made by Andrew Chadwick of Gainesville for Ian Koss of Ink 19 / WFIT.  It is made up of demos and 7"s and is very lo-fi because of it's vintage.  Thank to Ian for sending it in!     Sites:  dontfreak.tumblr.com facebook.com/dont freak audio zine email: dontfreakzine@gmail.com   host/producer: Adriaan Mol

I learned Shut Up, who Ralph Newman was, and how-to Behead Myself all in one night. This is part 2 of the episode with the legendary Athens, GA band Five Eight.  I talked with singer/songwriter/guitar player Mike Mantione after a show. He talked about the stories behind a few key songs.  I meander through the bands discography and play a few key tracks.  It's another hour plus episode full of rare tracks lo-fi and hi-fi.     playlist: Nowhere In A Circle (cassette release) Lifer (demo) Accessorize (alternate take) A Close Approximation Take What You Want Orlando Lousy Decision Guitar Motorcycle Next To Nothing What can One Man Change Goddamnit Paul (unplugged @ Eddies Attic)   Host/Producer: Adriaan Mol dontfeak.tumblr.com facebook.com/dontfreakaudiozine         Bonus Egg          

Back in March of this year (2014).  I met up with drummer Patrick Ferguson of the Athens band Five Eight.  We talked about the Athens music scene, a zine he did, and a lot about Five Eight.  Sit back and listen to some rare tracks as well as some of the classics from a fans perspective.  This is Pt 1 of the series.  Since the recording of this episode, The Weirdo Remix will be released on Chicken Ranch Records (Austin TX) in 2015. It will feature 5 previously un-released tracks and a mix that truly enhances and improves the sound of the original record. Look for it on vinyl and digitally.  Look for our Pt 2 with more info.track list: Missing LinkDepressed All The TimeMystery Song #1Mystery Song #2I Can't Stand ItRalph NewmanMystery JamesBehead MyselfHold Me UpRight To Drivesite:http://www.fiveeight.com/Host/Producer: Adriaan Mol

Way back in 1995 a band from Vero Beach, FL put out a cassette of their pop punk band.  The band's name was Discount.  The cassette was Mom Lied to Me! and it helped the band catch on and gain popularity.  As they did..more and more and more!  Alison Mosshart and more!

Here is a band's record from the NYHC scene (circa 1984).  The band is called RING OF FIRE and they RULE!  Who else sings a song about George "the Animal" Steele?  The record is called Common Enemy MLP and was origanly released on vinyl with only 100 copies pressed (wish I had one).  If you would like to download a copy it is availble on a blog called System//Sabotage//Chaos.

It's time to sit back and listen to a side of an album.  This time it's from the collection of cartoonist Charles Treadwell (ep. 4 and 13).  St John Green (self titled LP) is the pick of the evening.  It's a genuine nugget from 1960's psychedelic culture.  Host: Adriaan MolDontfreakzine@gmail.comDontfreak.tumblr.com playlist: 7th Generation Mutation Canyon Woman Devil and the Sea Do You Believe Help Me Close The Door Message From The Dead

Do you like a good prank call?  Do you remember the time when one could make a prank phone call? If you do let's take a ride back to the mid-80's with this compilation cassette of prank phone calls from the legendary Mark Knoplfer, Pranks for the Memories, and The Pittsburgh Calls. We'll play some excerpts from a tape called OUT OF MIND (somewhere in space a all-star crank call compilation tape).  It is wise-ass humor in it's truest and rawest form.  It is also a great example of good old fashioned pre-internet underground tape trading.     Dontfreakzine@gmail.comDontFreak.tumblr.comHost: Adriaan Mol  Places of interest:Phone Loosers of AmericaHow to stop prank calls Dire Straits Demos The Brats

It's not all just punk rock and metal around here.  Sometimes just a little R-n-R that will do.  If you are a Rush nerd you'll love this bootleg cassette from the 1980 Permanent Waves tour.  You'll also appreciate the TV interview.  Geddy mentions his production credit for an album called No Static by fellow Canadian band, Wireless.  We'll play a few tracks of of that release.  So sit back and Don't Freak!  Host: Adriaan Mol, Site: DontFreak.tumblr.com, DontFreakZine@gmail.comPlaylist:RUSH - MY BRAIN HURTS (bootleg/1980)Archives Medley Jacob's LadderRush TV Interview WIRELESS - NO STATIC (LP/1980)Warm Night With A 3/4 MoonTimekeeper Deep Heat MAX WEBSTER - UNIVERSAL JUVENILES (LP/1980)Battle Scar Blog (chock full O' Rush bootlegs) Jeffa Bootlegs: http://jkoontz.blogspot.com
