Our guest this episode requires no introduction (but I'll do it anyway). Peter Hook is the co-founder of TWO of the most influential bands to ever come out of the UK, Joy Division and New Order, and currently leads his band Peter Hook & The Light. Hooky is a true blue punk to this day and I had a fantastic time connecting with him here. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Ep 271 Teza (TeZATalks)
Our guest this episode is Teza of TeZATalks, a Seattle/Tacoma-based singer, self-described as hardcore pop. Seeing Teza perform at SMASH and again for Sonic Guild's award ceremony was amazing and I've been looking forward to this opportunity to learn a bit more about her and share it with you all. TeZATalks new album, Black Girl American Horror Story, will be out in Fall '24 and promises to take Teza to the next level and I recommend keeping her on your radar to catch any live performances she may make in your area.

Ep 270 The Fastbacks
In this episode we host Seattle's darlings, The Fastbacks. The Fastbacks have a new album coming this week titled "For What Reason?" and it is classic butt-kicking pop from The Fastbacks. I enjoyed hosting the entire band but hand in there with me as we wade through the conversation. This is the most folks that have ever appeared in an podcast episode so it was new territory.
