The Ledge #482: Record Store Day
The joke may be that every day is record store day for this goofball, but it is a fact that I do love almost everything about the actual Record Store Day event. Or events, as the last couple of years the event has been split up into multiple days.
This year is no different. The first round was on June 12; the second half is toorrow (July 17). Tonight’s show is a mix of releases from both of the events, and once agai is a show featuring 55 years of great rock and roll. There’s some good old standard reissues, but there’s also a plethora of demos, outtakes, alternate mixes, and more than a few cover tunes.
I would love it if every listener bought at least one record I played on either of these shows. These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion!

Red Red Wine On A Sunday #497 – Trouble On The Way
It's The Best of 2021 so Far Show
Here's the Playlist:
Continue reading "Red Red Wine On A Sunday #497 – Trouble On The Way"(*both laugh*) Episode 41: Nate Cook from The Yawpers!
For Episode 41 of (*both laugh*), we caught up with Nate Cook from The Yawpers for a quick hitter about his upcoming bike ride from New York to Los Angeles. Yes, you read that right...beginning on the 4th of July, Nate Cook from The Yawpers (whose 2019 Bloodshot Records release Human Question is still in heavy rotation in this house) is cycling from Brooklyn to Los Angeles.
Cook took up cycling early in the pandemic, and last summer he embarked on a 700-mile ride from Denver to Tulsa as a fundraiser for the Sweet Relief Musician's Fund. For this year's ride, dubbed Go West, Aging Man (or GxAx for short), Cook decided to go bigger, since he figures he'll be on tour every summer going forward. Two months. NY to LA. A few shows along the way. All on a bicycle, and all for Sweet Relief again.
As an added bonus, GxAx has added another rider this year. Badass singer/drummer Liliana Urbain is going west to east via a more northern route; she left Washington State a couple weeks ago and is presently in Montana with her sights set on Portland, Maine! As a semi-avid road cyclist, I cannot even comprehend how hard that is (particularly given the all-time high temps lately).
Find out more about Nate's ride here: https://gxaxride.com/

Continue reading "(*both laugh*) Episode 41: Nate Cook from The Yawpers!"The Ledge #480: What Would Paul Westerberg Do? (New Releases)
It’s a question I ask myself multiple times a day. What would Mr. Westerberg do? The answers guide my day to day life, which explains quite a bit about the status of Mr. Hudson these days. But Geoff Palmer understands, and his great track that gives thsi episode its title is just one of the many incredible songs on his upcoming record, Charts and Graphs. (BTW, somebody please count the Westy song references on this track. I just may have a prize for the person who comes closest.)
As always, this isn’t the only great record coming out soon on Rum Bar Records, and the last 20 minutes consist of nothing but great tracks from that label. There are also sets devoted to wonderful new music from Red On Red Records and Big Stir Records. These are all great records that really would appreciate some support from Ledge listeners. Go check them out.
And that’s not all. I mentioned last month the mystery of a band called The Revenants. They have released over 30 records so far this year, and they’re all free! Please, if somebody out there has any info on this prolific act give me the deets! There’s also the return of the great 80’s Australian band Scientists, and all kinds of other great new tunes!
I would love it if every listener bought at least one record I played on either of these shows. These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion!

(*both laugh*) Episode 40: Chachy from Round Eye! (Shanghai freak-punk)
For episode 40 of (*both laugh*), we went international again, this time catching up with Chachy Englund from Shanghai-based freak punk band Round Eye. The present incarnation of the band features ex-pats from three different countries (the US, Italy and Ireland), and are slated to officially release the physical version of their latest album, Culture Shock Treatment, via Sudden Death Records post haste (the digital release was handled last year by Paper + Plastick). And if you order the album (check the link below), there's a very realistic chance that it'll be in your grubby little paws WAY before anyone from the band actually sees it themselves.
Such is the way of the world when you're doing the punk rock thing under the watchful eye of the CCP. We covered a lot of ground with Chachy - literally and figuratively, and he's got a fascinating first-hand perspective on the COVID outbreak (and subsequent mismanagement), making a record with the iconic Mike Watt (and having it mixed by the equally iconic Bill Stevenson), the state of international touring, and the rigors of touring mainland China as a band of outsiders...and trying to return once you've toured outside the motherland. It's a fascinating chat if I do say so myself. Wonder if Chachy and his bandmates will actually get to watch it!

The Ledge #478: Covers
The decision to do an all-covers show was decided sometime on Wednesday when my good friends High On Stress announced that they would be releasing a Tommy Keene cover on Friday. This was shortly followed by emails containing new cover tracks by Kid Gulliver and The Dirty Denims. Always having a folder full of such tracks ready for air, it was an easy decision that this was the week to do such a show.
I also had an intriguing idea to put a new spin on such a show. Searching through my archives, I discovered that I had enough Replacements covers to recreate side one of the “Pleased To Meet Me” album. Although my broadcast program decided to suddenly play two tracks out of order, all of the songs from that group of tracks did make the air.
There are also country-tinged coves of old alt-rock tracks by a fabulous British band called Independent Country (including a great ‘mats remake), Richard Thompson and Dead Moon tributes by Country Westerns, Brad Marino doing a lovely Ramones’ track, and many, many other similarly fantastic tunes.
I would love it if every listener bought at least one record I played on either of these shows. These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion!

The Ledge #477: Summer Means Fun (Plus Recovered Bonus Show)
On last week’s new release broadcast I had attempted to right a wrong. I definitely missed the boat on the fabulous Minneapolis band Low Rats blend of “proto-punk meets ’90s garage rock style”, as reviewer Carolyn Keddy recently wrote. Their full-length debut, Year of the Rat MMXX came out late last year, and last week they debuted a brand new “double-dose” single, “Taxi Driver/Brand New Cadillac”. I was so pleased to finally give some of their tunes a little airplay.
And then guess what happened? I had an issue with the file, and I couldn’t upload the episode. Ugh!!! So this week I tried again, and I actually played a couple more songs than I did the week before. And, as an added bonus, I’ve also included a couple of tracks from vocalist Michael Myers’ previous band, Narco States, who I interviewed wasy back in 2015.
The rest of this week’s show consists of music I’ve been playing around the house the last fw weeks. There are well over 60 years of tunes on this broadcast, including some stories I’ve picked up from a couple of books I’ve recently acquired.
And you fine people also get as a bonus the surviving portion of last week’s show. The first hour or so of new releases, and I’ve got a question for listeners regarding a band called The Revenents. I’d appreciate a little help about this band that has released well over a dozen albums for free these last few months.
The combination of these two broadcast means you guys get over three hours of tunes in this week’s download! But please do me a favor and purchase some Low Rats at their bandcamp site. In fact, I would love it if every listener bought at least one record I played on either of these shows. These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion!
Episode 80: The Dignity of the AN*L BABES is Unimpeachable (Re-Upload)
Deathpunk has been the definite style of the first Turbonegro albums. Enter the An*l Babes, their illegitimate Norwegian step-brother who most definitely lived up to all the prototypical qualities of early Turboneger tunes: sexy-funny-violent. TJR picked up the mic and talked to two Babes, Abdullah the Thief and Turd, consequently shoving an overdue history lesson.

Continue reading "Redox #270 – Another Girl, Another Planet (Live in Boston)" The Big Takeover Show – Number 333 – June 7, 2021 – Homebound Edition LXIV
This week, after a short 1967 Beatles remembrance: brand new Descendents, Art Bergmann, Lou Barlow, Jane Weaver, Dinosaur Jr, Gary Numan, Petrified Max, and A Place to Bury Strangers, plus Martha & the Vandellas, Mose Allison, Desmond Dekker, The Who, Yardbirds, Steeleye Span, Bill Monroe, etc.; and R.I.P. B.J. Thomas (1942 – 2001)
(*both laugh*) Episode 39: Max Collins from Eve 6!!
tl/dr: we asked Max Collins from Eve 6 if he wanted to chat and he said sure!
This episode is going live on May 27, which coincidentally marks the 21st anniversary of the first time I saw Eve 6. It was the 2000 WBCN (r.i.p.) River Rave and it took place at the old Foxboro Stadium and it featured bands like Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Everclear and Godsmack (lol) and Stone Temple Pilots and Static-X and Powerman 5000 and Cypress Hill. The turn of the century was a time, man...
ANYWAY, Eve 6, in my opinion, got a little unfairly lumped in with a couple of scenes that, stylistically, they weren't really a part of. Their self-titled debut album, written while the band's members (Max Collins, Jon Siebel, Tony Fagenson) were essentially still in high school, debuted at a time in music that was probably just a bit too late for the punk revival of the mid-90s and just before the nu-metal/butt rock wave of the early 2000s. Stylistically, the band probably had more in common with Alkaline Trio (whose own debut full-length came out six months after "Eve 6) than with the likes of either Third Eye Blind or Sugar Ray or Staind or whoever they got paired with along the way. The lead single, "Inside Out," (aka "The Heart In A Blender Song") blew up and the album sold almost two million copies and so school buses turned into tour buses before very long and, well, here's the 25-cent version of what happened next: sophomore album, Horrorscope, spawned an unlikely hit ("Here's To The Night") which was probably your prom and/or graduation song if you're of a certain age, touring with Bon Jovi, third album didn't spawn a likely/unlikely "hit", band got dropped by RCA and essentially broke up, Max got sober, band reconnected, new album in 2012, bunch of 90s-band style tours, pandemic.
The last year or so have found Collins and Siebel and new drummer Ben Hilzinger started working on new material, the result of which is a five-song EP, "grim value," which is due out next month (see links to the first couple videos below). It's also seen Collins reach a new level of sorta-fame via Twitter, where he's maintained the band's official feed as a mix of 90s-band shit-posting and progressive realist light-in-the-darkness (Much of it is aligned with the dance-pop self-help spiritual guru Chevy Mustang that Collins created that is, if you haven't checked it out yet, completely brilliant.) We talked about all of this and more (Jawbreaker, sobriety, touring with Bon Jovi, etc) over the course of this chat and it was super fun and I still find it amazing that he agreed to do it.

The Ledge #476: Happy Birthday Bobby D!
Putting together a Dylan tribute show for this week was clearly a no-brainer. After all, he turned 80 years old this past Monday! Of course The Ledge would celebrate!
It actually wasn’t until the day of his birthday that I decided on this theme, though, and I have to give special thanks to Lydia Loveless. To help raise money for NIVA (National Independent Venue Association), Lydia and a dozen other artists were a part of Happy Birthday Uncle Bob! A Dylan Tribute.
That release is just one of many recent releases that are the focus of the first half of the show. Daniel Romano, Billy Childish (as The William Loveday Intention), Lucinda Williams, and others have full-length albums of Dylan remakes, and the second half of the show consists of some old favorites such as Paul Westerberg, Jason & The Scorchers, Mike Ness, and many others.
After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion!

(*both laugh*) Episode 38: Punk Rock Saves Lives founder Rob “Rover” Rushing
In case you weren't aware by now, May is Mental Health Awareness Month. That's a cause that's pretty near and dear to my heart, and for Episode 38, I finally got a chance to promote it! If you've been to Warped Tour or the Flogging Molly Salty Dog Cruise or any number of other punk shows/festivals over the last decade, you've probably run into Rob "Rover" Rushing. For many years, he was the on-the-ground face of the Love Hope Strength Foundation, a non-profit that was co-founded by The Alarm's Mike Peters and that aimed to sign people up for the International Bone Marrow Registry. When LHS moved on from their street team a couple of years ago, Rushing and his wife Tina took the opportunity to create a non-profit of their own, and thus Punk Rock Saves Lives was born! Though it's still in a stage of relative infancy, PRSL has hit the ground running. Focusing on equal rights, human rights and health campaigns, PRSL has shown itself to be a versatile organization, helping to raise money and awareness for mental health campaigns, women's health and reproductive rights campaigns, and much more. The charity was founded in November 2019 and had some big plans for its first full year, but then COVID happened and, like most of us, they were forced to pivot. Now that things are opening up ever-so-suddenly, it seems, more good things are on the horizon. Check out the list of links below to get involved!

The Ledge #475: New Releases (Pt. 2)
This week’s show may be a sequel to last week’s new release episode, but there’s no letdown in quality. Here are two hours of some of the best new music from all over the world – not only the U.S. but Canada, England, Sweden, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Spain. There’s some pure punk, along with power pop, heavy rock, indie rock, and much more. There are longtime veterans with five decades of rocking, along with some brand new bands with their first releases.
One of the many highlights is the opening set that includes a handful of newly-discovered tracks by an obscure band called The Jacks. Originating in Oklahoma, one member of the band found himself living in Minneapolis. Working in a record store allowed him to befriend members of The Replacements, Husker Du, and The Suicide Commandos. Recordings featuring these amazing musicians have now been released on the album “Make ‘Em Cry”.
We also have the premiere of three tracks from Geoff Palmer’s upcoming album, “Charts & Graphs”. Due out on July 23, this fantastic collection of power poppish punk should be a highlight of the summer. There’s also new tunes by Dropkick Murphys, The Dictators, Juliana Hatfield, and many others!

(*both laugh*) Episode 37: Scott Radinsky (Pulley, ex-Ten Foot Pole, 11 year MLB vet)
To say that I've been looking forward to finally catching up with Scott Radinsky for a long time is an understatement. Radinsky has spent more than three decades carving out a career in not one, but two of my lifelong passions: baseball and punk rock. If you're watching this as a long-time Dying Scene follower, you no doubt know Radinsky as the trademark voice behind a couple supremely influential - if underrated - California punk rock bands: Scared Straight, who were vital in getting the "nardcore" scene on the map before reconfiguring as Ten Foot Pole, and, for the last quarter-century, Pulley. At this point, you're also no doubt aware of Radinsky's successful career as a quality left-handed relief pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, LA Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals and, finally, Cleveland Indians (you can Google his stats if you want, but he finished with a solid career record of 42-25 with 52 saves and a 3.45 ERA over the course of 11 years. Trust me: that's rock solid.) His career was also interrupted by a bout with Hodgkins Disease, and his comeback won him the 1995 Tony Conigliaro Award. As a lifelong Boston-area guy, also trust me...that's a big deal. We finally caught up with Radinsky recently to talk about how the COVID shutdown has impacted both of his beloved professions, and how they both had to pivot in different ways. Pulley, obviously, had to cancel some overseas tour plans, but the lockdown allowed them the opportunity to work on some brand new material in different and more focused ways than they have in years. It also found them playing a handful of acoustic sessions , which spawned a series of releases containing stripped down renditions of a few songs from each of the band's revved up studio albums to date. The first of those releases, Different Strings, is due out this month on SBAM Records - a label that should sound familiar as its founder, Stefan Beham, was our guest for Episode 36. Find Pulley on Bandcamp here: https://pulley.bandcamp.com/ Pre-order "Different Strings" here: https://shop.sbam.rocks/blogs/news/pulley-different-strings Watch the Pulley "Monsters Of Rock" Livestream we were referencing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQgl11nTNJg&ab_channel=PulleyTV

I’m back! Yes, I had to take last week off due to some behind the scenes server issues that are too complicated to go into here. That means that this month’s new release episode is NOT the first Friday of the month…which is a fact that I probably care about more than anybody else.
There is so much great new music out there these days, however, that once again the new release episode is a two part extravaganza! This week features a ton of great new and old bands, along with all kinds of new and upcoming Rum Bar Records’ releases! Next week will be a similar collecton of great garage, indie, power pop, and punk new releases!

(*both laugh*) Episode 36: Stefan Beham on graphic art, SBAM Records and finding punk in 1990s Austria
If you've been a fan of punk rock over the last decade especially, you probably know Stefan Beham...only, you probably don't realize that you know Stefan Beham. The Austria-based graphic artist has designed tour posters and album covers and the like for a Fat Wreck Chords-heavy laundry list of artists that includes acts like NOFX and Frank Turner and Lagwagon and Get Dead and the Bombpops and Bad Cop Bad Cop and myriad more.
We caught up with Stefan recently to chat about his journey from being a kid growing up in Austria to finding punk rock to eventually working for - and with - some of the biggest names in the scene. We also talked quite a bit about his growth from visual artist to festival producer to record label head honcho, and how he's had to constantly pivot in those roles over the course of the COVID pandemic.
For more on Stefan, check out his site here: https://art.sbam.rocks/

Continue reading "Red Red Wine On A Sunday #492 – Cool Water"The Ledge #473: This and That
A few weeks ago, I experimented with a show that didn’t really have a theme. It consisted of nothing but songs and/or albums I had been listening to around the house. Apparently plenty of listeners enjoyed this show, as I received a number of encouraging messages, so I guess it’s now sort of a “non-theme” that I’m going to try to do at least once a month.
So that’s what you’re experiencing on this week’s show. These are all records I’ve been playing around the house the last couple of weeks. Included are excerpts from two giant box sets of important works by John Lennon and The Who that came out just last week. There’s an attempt to prove a theory that Gang of Four influenced Credit In Heaven, the third album of the Suburbs. There’s a few records I pulled out of the archives for the first time in years, along with some great new finds at the used store.
And there’s also a set of two great new releases that came out today! Brad Marino’s latest, Looking For Trouble, is every bit as great as expected, and fellow Rum Bar Records artist The Nuclears put out a smoking new album. Look to hear more from those records on next week’s new release show!
After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs.

Just before the world shut down last year, Chicago's Kali Masi drove to suburban Massachusetts to hole up at Jay Maas's Getaway Recording Studio to get to work on the full-length follow-up to their 2017 debut, Wind Instrument (Take This To Heart Records). Fast forward a year (March 26th, to be precise) and the band unleashed the final product, [laughs], to the masses, also via Take That To Heart Records. It is, in your humble host's opinion, is one of the best albums in recent memory.
We managed to convince the quartet to forgo their regularly-scheduled band practice and, instead, to chat with us for an hour or so. We of course talked about the writing and recording processes, and the decision to embrace some of the weird directions that they scratched the surface of on Wind Instrument. We also dug into some of the different ways the band not only kept busy but kept productive in the run-up to the album release, included a handful of brilliantly self-produced videos (see links below, especially "Trophy Deer" and "Guilt Like A Gun"). Much thanks to Sam and Wes And Anthony and John!
