Jared Stimpfl has been drumming for the last decade in Pennsylvania’s powerhouse guitar/drums/ vocals/grind/groove-trio; Secret Cutter. SC cranks out heavy/blasty/noisy/grooves that celebrate breakdowns and chaos equally and their shows are always a lesson in bombastic performance. We talked about finding solace in said chaotic music as therapy for loved ones that have passed away, writing/recording in barns and out in the woods, going off the grid, the challenges of parenting and taking their sweet -ass time to churn out a record every three years-of which the new full length is expected this year!https://secretcutter.bandcamp.com/Www.capturedrecordingstudios.comhttps://orphandonor.bandcamp.com

Josh Nee is the drummer of Baton Rouge/New Orleans sludge band Thou who has been serving up their brand of southern doom for the last decade. I was able to catch up with him amidst a brief run of NY shows in which we talked about the dedicated fan base for heavy New Orleans bands, how he got the gig, learning to play super slow tempo’s, Thou's artwork/packaging, some of the musicians we’ve both played with in the close knit South East Louisiana music scene and of course… Cat Sevens and Bob Dylan. **Plus how his father would at times take long distance bike rides from town to town while Josh was on tour!!!

Rick Smith has been propelling Torche through their own brand of sludgy, melodic, power pop with propulsive drumming that is both slow and spacious, frenetic and explosive or even out-right dance(y). Even with all these dynamics, one thing remains constant, Rick always seems to be in the right place at the right time. We cover his many projects, side jobs, and what has inspired him to continue his pursuit of music throughout the years. You’ll even get a little comedic side commentary from vocalist Steve Brooks!
