Luke Bentham (Dirty Nil)

Discussion with Adam Henceroth, board-certified anesthesiologist and  also co-founder of Egghunt Records since 2014 (Lucy Dacus, Grace Vonderkuhn, Sara Bug, Eric Slick)

 Our March 2021 conversation with Nancy Barile about her book “I'm Not Holding Your Coat: My Bruises-And-All Memoir of Punk Rock Rebellion” on Bazillion Points Books. (RIP Al Barile)

Linda Smith is the great mystery of lofi/home recording lore. Without Linda Smith, there’s no Elliot Smith, Sebadoh, Guided by Voices, Olivia Tremor Control, etc. We were honored to have her on the Artifact podcast in May 2021. Check out her career retrospective on Captured Tracks if you’re inclined to go down the lofi rabbit hole.

From April 2021

Matt and I interviewed Luke in March 2021 just as the Dirty Nil’s third album, Fuck Art was being released. Since then, the band has released another LP, Free Rein to Passions (2023) and they just released a single “I Hate the Internet” in January. They are currently touring the US. 

Conversation with Brendan Canty about the salad days of DC hardcore, the formation of Rites of Spring and Fugazi and beyond...

One of our favorite guests - Andrew Rieger of Elf Power. We had a great discussion about the old days in Athens, GA, the inception of Elephant 6 Records, touring with GBV and REM and many other topics. Enjoy! 

A discussion with legendary musician (Let’s Active) and producer (R.E.M., Pavement, and many more) - Mitch Easter!
