Who Art Thou?

Today on the podcast I am joined by AJ and Rohan of the emo/shoegaze band from Dublin, Picture Postcard.
The band have just released their awesome new EP, 'With Time', which will be the primary focus of this episode.
I'll be chatting with the guys about this EP, going through it track-by-track and covering all the Iyrical content, the compositions, the inspirations behind the music and a few side stories along the way - I really did not think about I would be talking about the best Kebab in Dublin when I sat down to record this episode.
In support of this release, the band will be embarking on an Irish tour starting this week. The dates are:
May 21st - Dublin - Bello Bar
May 22nd - Belfast - Union Bar

Today on the podcast I am delighted to say that I am going to be joined by two amazing artists, who are Drew of the Grindcore band See You Next Tuesday and the one man noisegrind act,CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP (aka Chop7Times, Chop7x, Chopx7) from New Haven, CT.
Together these two artists have created one of my favourite releases of the year, a collaborative EP titled 'Brothers'.
This collaborative release is based off of a book entitled The Brothers’ War, a 1998 fantasy novel by Jeff Grubb; it is the first book in the Magic: The Gathering: Artifacts Cycle, detailing the epic conflict between brothers Urza and Mishra on the world of Dominaria. The book explores the origins of Urza and the magical and technological arms race that leads to cataclysmic events. For the album, side A, See You Next Tuesday’s Chris wrote his lyrics based on the perspective of the Brother Urza, while Chop wrote his lyrics from Mishra's perspective for side B.
We are going to be going through the entire EP, talking about how this collaboration began, why they choose 'The Brothers War' as the inspiration for the EP and how it was used to construct the music, Magic The Gathering and their awesome music video, 'Old Thoughts, and Regrets'.
The EP is available for purchase now in two vinyl forms, digitally on Bandcamp and will be available for streaming on May 15th, this Friday!

Today on the podcast I am joined by Cameron Johnston of the Death Thrash Belfast band, Microtonal!
Since their formation in 2023, Microtonal have been determined to bring metal back to it's aggressive and fear inducing roots, such as Demolition Hammer, Slayer, Sepultura, Death and Exhorder. With an extreme and explosive sound, their lyrics are also equally as intense, exploring themes like anti religion, civil unrest, injustice and corruption alongside other societal and governmental issues.
They released their debut EP, 'Baptism by Fire' which features such brilliant songs, like 'Dark Side' and 'Forsaken'.
I'll be chatting with Cameron about the band's inception, where their name came from, covering their debut EP and having a deep chat about what makes Thrash Metal so awesome.
Microtonal are through to the Grand Final of Metal 2 The Masses NI, which is going to be held on the 8th May. On top of this, they'll be opening for Uncultivates on July 3rd in Lost Lane as part of the band's Album release tour.
