Who Art Thou?

Today I am joined on the podcast, I am joined by Peter Sisk of the San Francisco Noise Rock band, Wealthy Women!
Wealthy Women are part of the wave of bands led by Chat Pile, Crippling Alcoholism, Kulk and Remote Viewing who combine their rage and despair at the state of the world with influences stretching back to early pioneers of abrasive noise such as Shellac, Nirvana and the Melvins.
Their music and lyrics are about the experience of living in America as an immigrant, disgust at ascendant toxic masculinity and cruel, mendacious and corrupt governments sacrificing innocents around the world.
The band have toured extensively throughout 2026, visiting cities up and down the West Coast from Seattle to San Diego, with their tour culminating in a sold out album launch at Neck of the Woods in San Francisco.
They released their debut album, 'Children', in August of this year, which features such singles as 'Shit Breaks', 'Atheist Wife' and 'Take It Back', with the album being the primary focus of this particular episode.
On top of all this, the band will be embarking on an Irish Tour, which begins today in Belfast, playing the Voodoo! They then will be playing Limerick tomorrow at the Record Room, on Friday will be playing Sin E, Dublin, Saturday Bugler Doyles, Wexford and finishing on Sunday at The Watchtower in Drogehda.

Today on the podcast, I am delighted to have Shane McMullen making his return on the show!
Shane was first on the podcast with his band Ferals back in 2024, this time around he's on as the Vocalist/Bassist of one of the most exciting band's in Ireland's Post-Hardcore scene, Belfast's very own Broncos, that also features good friend of the podcast, Michael Smyth on drums.
In September of this year, the band released their brilliant debut album, 'Fake Laugh', which contains such songs as 'Gloom', 'Lover', 'Hold Me' and my personal favorite, 'In Amber'.
Balancing beauty and heaviness throughout, a healthy sprinkle of Alexisonfire, Deftones and Dracula influences an the album has landed it's way onto my personal end of year lists.
Myself and Shane will be going through the entire album together, talking about how he joined the band, how the album was written and breaking down each song track on the album.

Today's guest on the podcast is Corey of the Cincinnati Noisey Blackened Hardcore band, In Heaven!
Formed last year, I discovered this band recently by trying to find something blisteringly heavy to listen to and came across their brilliant Self-titled debut EP, which was released this year on the 1st of June!
Corey will be on the show today to talk about how this band began, his background in Hardcore, how the Noise and Black Metal elements influenced the music, and will be discussing each track on the EP, breaking down their sound and lyrics in each song.

Today i joined by Jakub of Tolokoshe!
Jakub was first on the podcast with this musical project back in October 19 2024, nearly one week from today, talking about his latest single release at the time, 'Cosmic Holiday'.
Now he makes his long awaited return on the show to talk about his first full collective release as a band with Tokoloshe's latest EP, 'We Fell Apart'!
A lovely direction the band has taken on this release, myself and Jakub will be talking about each track on the EP, covering what the new direction of a full band has taken with the music and why he decided to go in that route. We'll be discussing the ideas behind all the songs (aliens of course get a mention), the beautiful music video that was shot for the band's latest single U.F.O, which is available now to watch on YouTube, the incredible artwork for the EP and of course what the band has in store for the future.
Loving having Jakub on for chats, always an immense pleasure so I hope you enjoy the episode!
And if you want to see the band play live, they'll be playing Sin É on December 4th!
