This month’s episode features the FIRST in-person interview Coyler has had since February. On his way up to Bellingham he stopped in Olympia to shoot the shit with Michael Maker and Vic Mostly. During the poorly-recorded interview you might hear the brothers discuss The Makers’ life after Estrus, Tim Kerr’s dreadlocks and how to get blood stains out of vintage car upholstery. The latter half of the fifth episode includes Zack Static of The Statics. This particular discussion was recorded via Zoom back in April shortly after Zack finished his training to become a Kundalini Yoga instructor in Burien, Wash.

June’s been tough. If you’ve been bumming, you’re not alone. So for the fourth episode of Estrus Podshock, Scott and I thought our conversation with Mike LaVella of Gearhead fame could “kick some dick,” as Ghandi once said. In this one we chat about LaVella’s legendary zine Gearhead, the label of the same name, and signing The Hives. Plus, as always, a “plethora of trash rock and scandalous impurity,” as Ghandi also said one time.

In this episode, Podshock talks to a bunch of nobodies and their tiny record labels about Estrus Records, running a record label "business" and peddling Garage Punk in 2020. Featured labels: Hidden Volume (Satan’s Pilgrims, The Insomniacs, Teen Cobra), Pig Baby (The Schizophonics, Woolley Bushmen, Deadbolt), Valley King (Altamont, Phantom Ships, Cavity) and Tall Pat (The Rubs, Bleach Party, Son of a Gun).Insensitivity Warning: This episode was recorded in April and was finalized on Friday, May 30. Dumb jokes are cracked as per usual, but just know they were cracked well before this past tumultuous weekend. We hope you find this entertaining if you need a distraction. As usual there's a lot rock and/or roll at the end because this is our frickin' podcast.
