Brian Case discusses the new FACS album Wish Defense, when we met in Edmonton, St. Louis musical mentors, seeing Fred Armisen’s band Trenchmouth, loving underground Chicago rock music and key British post-punk bands, a shared adoration for Hoover, exploring duality via Naomi Klein, why FACS recorded Wish Defense with Steve Albini, his perspective on Steve’s demeanour and behaviour during what was sadly his final session, how they and Electrical Audio colleagues dealt with Steve’s sudden death by honouring and finishing the work he’d started, FACS tour dates, other future plans, and much more.

Adam Goren and Brian Sokel from Dead Best discuss their album Second and its lyrical themes, growing up together and now living right next to each other, a Guelph house show my old band Captain Copilot played with Atom and His Package in 1999 before I randomly ran into Adam in Philadelphia a year later, finally having Adam on the show after conversations I’ve had about Atom and His Package with guests like Chris Gethard, Kurt Vile, and Pissed Jeans’ Matt Korvette, being straight edge in grade one and high school reunions, getting into punk and DIY culture and infusing it all with comedy, why a number of post-hardcore bands in the 1990s seemed to be named after American historical figures except for Franklin, playing shows, other future plans, and much more.
