Joining me today is Bael of Kentucky's own Shi - 死! We had a really fun conversation and covered a lot of topics, of course we talked about their new album Pure Disgust and all the awesomeness that went into it, we also touched on things like how to pronounce things, grading bandmates, navigating things as a local/regional band and a business idea that Hallmark will soon be paying out the nose to us for. What the frank?!

Joining me on today's show is one Chris Spencer of Human Impact, and if you're thinking, wait, isn't he the dude from Unsane? You'd be correct. But in our conversation we talk mainly about Human Impact, who have recently released an excellent new album titled Gone Dark. We talk all things from Chris's lyrical perspective and his kind of motto of "don't give up", as well as his very literal interpretation of the band name. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for Human Impact, PUSH PLAY!  Show Links: https://linktr.ee/epitome_of_stupidity_podcast Human Impact links: https://humanimpact.bandcamp.com/album/gone-dark  https://www.humanimpactband.com/  https://www.facebook.com/Human-Impact-2384700478434971/  https://www.instagram.com/humanimpactband/  https://twitter.com/HumanImpactband  Brimming Horn  https://www.brimminghornmeadery.com/ Sonic Temple https://sonictemplefestival.com/passes/ https://www.facebook.com/sonictemplefestival  https://www.instagram.com/sonictemplefestival/ 

Man oh man, had a metric ton of fun on this one with a band that I really enjoy. Spent a while talking with 3/4 members of A Deer A Horse who just put out a stellar album titled Texas Math. Of course we talk a lot about the album as well as using music to work through things, inter band dynamics including who would win in a band brawl, super bummer vibes and the band name as well....it's a great conversation, PUSH PLAY!  Show Links: https://linktr.ee/epitome_of_stupidity_podcast A Deer A Horse links https://linktr.ee/adeerahorse  Brimming Horn  https://www.brimminghornmeadery.com/

Joining me today is one Ash of Sugar Horse! And when I say today I mean back in early August but regardless of that they have just released an absolutely killer album that covers a lot of ground and does it all so damn well. We talk about a ton of things relating to the album and band as well as the importance of simplicity, playing at a volume level that should be illegal and why a sound engineer in France hates them because of it. All this and more....PUSH PLAY!

Joining me on today's show is one Jadd Shickler, a dude who is no stranger to good tuneage and wears a lot of hats in the music biz. One of which is for his band Blue Heron who is the main point of our conversation, we talk all things from the bands inception to the newest album Everything Fades with plenty of things mixed in, including...Mexican polka? Or something like that anyways.

Special guest particularly for me on this weeks show, Billy & Josh of one of my personal favorite bands, Generation of Vipers, join me for a conversation about their fuggin awesome new album Guilt Shrine as well as all things related to the band. And of course because it's this show there's certainly some goofiness mixed in. The guys have plenty of interesting things to say about all these things and more but stop reading what I've written about it and PUSH PLAY!

Joining me today is the ever awesome, Nick of Delving, and yes, Elder too. We touch base about Elder and related news there but todays conversation is more about his instrumental Delving project, recently having released the new album All Paths Diverge we talk about all the things related to the making of the album and relating to the band. It's a really stellar album and listening to him talk through some of the ways it came together was a lot of fun. Speaking of fun, we also talk about the majestic-ness of wiener dogs, and you know you don't want to miss that, so PUSH PLAY!  Show Links: https://linktr.ee/epitome_of_stupidity_podcast Delving links: https://www.facebook.com/delvingmusic https://delving-music.bandcamp.com/album/all-paths-diverge https://www.instagram.com/delving_music Brimming Horn  https://www.brimminghornmeadery.com/  

Joining me this week is Joe of the excellent band, Pijn, and he himself is pretty damn excellent as you'll find out via this conversation. We cover all things from how to properly pronounce the bands name, their amazing new album, From Low Beams of Hope, along with the accompanying EP, Desperately Held, all the things, themes, and feelings held within the songs and, honestly, if you hear him talk about these things and don't want to hear them for yourself you're doing it wrong on an honors level. We also talk about the revelation of understanding you don't have to be miserable just cause you're playing a sad sounding chord, overshooting deadlines...by a lot, and the Greenland Shark, because of course we do. What could you possibly be waiting for, PUSH PLAY!
