This week I break from my typical format and instead of broken up bands from the past, I revisited my friend Jeffrey from Elias and the Error (our first guest from episode one). We talked about his new record (coming out this week!), making music during COVID, Star Trek, growing up in the 90s, and so much more. Make sure to pick up a copy of the new Elias and the Error record, BACKPILL, available on Bandcamp.

ALL of The Plain Daisies — Kara, Kenric, Chason, John, and Seth joined me on a conference call and we dished daisy. This episode felt very special because it was the first time in 20+ years that all five of them had spoken together, let alone listened to this music, and I found myself transported back to the early nineties as I listened to them reminisce. You can listen to more of The Plain Daisies at their Reverb Nation page.

I sat down with Doc Singles to talk about his pop-punk band, Red Carpet Rats. We talked about what it’s like to live with your band for 12 years, being on tour in the Caribbean, and filming a reality show that never gets made. Check out the Red Carpet Rat’s on YouTube.

I sat down with Aaron and Kern from Harbinger of DOOM back in 2016, and we spoke about death metal, AP English, and coconut bras. Check out more of Harbinger of DOOM at their Bandcamp page.

I spoke with Jeff from Elias and the Error back in 2016 about his high school band, Mighty Mohawk Man. We also debate the best era of Hot Topic in store music, Marilyn Manson’s place in the Holy Trinity, and pizza vs ice cream. Find Elias and the Error on Bandcamp, Twitter: @Elias_Error, and Instagram: @elliasandtheerror. Watch Elias Iscariot’s epic Hot Topic gig.

Harbinger of Doom Danvile, CA – 1999 My life with the Harbingers of Doom When people see Harbinger of Doom play a show they never understand what is going on. Many ask harassing questions like “was that puppy real?”, “where did that guy get that hat?” and “do their parents know they do this?”. What people fail to realize is that it doesn’t matter. Even if that puppy was real, Harbinger of Doom is trying to send a message deep into our social conscience that deep within us all is a little harbinger trying to harbinge some doom. I have followed Harbinger ever since they played at the San Ramon talent show, and I pledge my life towards the realization of their vision. My life for Harbinger. My mind for Harbinger. Yes, even my nacho’s for Harbinger. Harbinger is lord and master, and I shall obey (and hula to) their greatness. People sometimes ask me if Harbinger is serious. Well, there are a lot of ways to answer that question. The easiest, is yes. Harbinger is serious. Serious about EVIL. If you aren’t serious about evil, well… THEY ARE. Anyone who thinks that is wrong, well it is the most right thing I have ever seen in my life. credits released May 1, 1999 Kern McFEARson – Cleaving AXE Griz – Pounding MACE Master Kenn – Skull Crushing Melkor – Dying, Screaming, Funk director All Sound performed by Harbinger other than Skeleton Warriors remix: Eryk, Kenn and Melkor Four Kazoos remix: Eryk Produced recorded and mixed by: Eryk Bateman All of the Ballads were written by: Harbinger of Doom All words of love written by: Melkor Harbinger Thanks: The Griswolds, the Thatchs, and the Batemans for letting us commit evil + atrocious acts in their garages.
