In this episode I'm thrilled to chat to Blake Stokes, front man with Los Angeles sonic terrorists Jagged Baptist Club. Recently signed to Blowtorch Records they have a new single Temptation Death House out on all streaming platforms. In a wide ranging chin wag we cover a lot of ground including the US response to the pandemic, the pitfalls of naming bands, Blake's love of Smashing Pumpkins and how he fell asleep on stage at a Wombats gig.
Warm, noisy, sleazy, kinetic, sprawling and cool - JBC are the perfect fit for L.A. We love 'em.

Blowtorch Records Podcast - Episode 10

Episode 10! Something slightly different in this edition with a deep dive into the new Turnstiles EP. I chat to Cillian, Colm, Jake and Cal from the band about the writing and recording of the EP; what inspired the music and lyrics; what they were listening to at the time and the importance of Cillian's shed to the whole process.
We go through the EP track by track so it's a great chance to acquaint yourself with this brilliant piece of work. It's available on all streaming services and on CD and 7" vinyl pre-order at https://www.blowtorchrecords.com/shop and https://turnstilesgalway.bandcamp.com/merch

Blowtorch Records Podcast - Episode 12

Episode 12 - craic agus ceol! Here we go with our latest edition featuring Limerick trio Static Vision. I have a great laugh with Cian, Tom and Toby from the band and learn about their early history, get some insights as to why their brilliant Faith In The Future EP was unreleased for 2 years and also details on their plans for 2021 and new releases. And one of the best entrances ever courtesy of drummer Shane.
Will they move to Berlin? Or recruit a fourth member? Should Cian run for mayor of Limerick? It's all in the chat and of course there's a few fabulous tracks from these purveyors of melodic, punchy, punky garage rock.
