Podioslave Podcast

In our 107th episode, we’re rejoined by our Episode 57 guests, Sean (vocals) and Seth (bassist) of the band Trawl. We catch up on what they’ve been up to over the past year, including opening for Blacktop Mojo and Nonpoint, new music in the pipeline (which we lended our voices to!) and much more. Lots of interesting talk about being a DIY band in todays landscape, don’t miss this one! We also talk about summer shows we’re excited for as fans. This was recorded before the news of the untimely passing of Taylor Hawkins, who we were massive fans of. RIP Taylor.  We’d love for everyone to hear this episode!

In our 106th episode, we take inspiration from Ep 21. This time around, instead of discussing band names that elevate the band, we’re discussing album titles that elevate the album (we call this a Bandvantage). The 3 of us come to the table with a few titles that we feel take albums to the next level —- album title cheat codes if you will. Spoiler: every album we picked is either a classic or on its way to being a classic. Do you have any that come to mind? We’d love to hear em! The beginning of the episode starts with a game: Band names….real or fake? Play along and let us know how you did!  We’d love for everyone to hear this episode!

In our 105th episode, we (finally) turn the camera inward at our resident rain man, Tony. He’s often heard spouting off facts and memories on the podcast, so we figured we’d put him to the test. “Stump the Tone” features different trivia curated by both Anthony and Nate, and is set to test Tony’s (and all of the PodHeads) Nerdery acumen. Play along and let us know how you did! The beginning of the episode features a quick mention of 2 years of the podcast, as well as a brief explanation of how the boys provided additional vocals for Trawl’s new song, “Kaiju King”. Stay tuned for more on the song, and for new music from Trawl!  We’d love for everyone to hear this episode!

We’ve all heard of the typical mailbag episode, where listeners submit questions to be answered on the podcast (we’ve done two of them - Ep 22 and 48)….well this is the host mailbag episode. We, the hosts, ask questions to each other. A few teasers: What is your most bizarre/unexpected interaction with a musician? Which listening medium to get rid of— in headphones, in the car, or on your home stereo? What’s your bucket list concert venue?  What’s your take on the current Spotify landscape? These and plenty more. One for the nerds!  If you like what you hear, please rate, subscribe, and share!  Check us out at: www.podioslave.com  Email us: podioslavepodcast@gmail.com

In our 99th episode, we’re joined by Benny Horowitz, Drummer of The Gaslight Anthem and Mercy Union. Benny is a 90s OG, having booked and played shows for over 25 years at this point. We dig into Benny’s DIY roots in the NJ punk/hardcore scene, the start of The Gaslight Anthem, signing to SideOneDummy, eventually signing to a major label and everything that comes with it — and much more. Benny’s conversation chops rival his ability to crush the drums, and we couldn’t have asked for more. This is another can’t miss episode!
