Nomeansno (2011)

On a recent Kreative Kontrol episode, Mark Molnar mentioned his fondness for a radio interview I once conducted with Tom Holliston, John Wright, and Rob Wright from Canada’s greatest band, Nomeansno. And so, here’s that interview, which occurred over breakfast at the By the Way Café in Toronto, Ontario on April 5, 2011. It’s one of my most cherished work life experiences, so thank you again to Nomeansno, whose entire catalogue is now available on streaming services, and Alternative Tentacles is reissuing their catalogue in physical forms too.

To hear this entire conversation, subscribe to Kreative Kontrol on Patreon at the $6 U.S. tier or higher (a reminder that an annual subscription includes a discount compared to a monthly one).

Daryl Johns is here to discuss his new self-titled album, how an elevated bed is a marker of adulthood, missing Jersey, why Sting cannot possibly be the same guy who was in the Police, how musical technique ebbs and flows in popular music, how he’s been bringing his studio sound to the stage, genre signifiers like “diner rock” and “bubble gum country,” loving sitcom theme music and 1980s sounds, playing shows in New York City, writing new songs, other future plans, and much more.
