Chris Collins Show - Episode 905: Punk Band Weatherworn
play

07/16/21 • 32 min

The boys of Weatherworn join STRIKE A CHORD to discuss farming a band from New York to Virginia, losing band members—AND what the hell does “Weatherworn” mean? Some people argue that the drummer is the sexiest member of a band—BUT band member Steven completely challenges that notion with his clarinet—“it’s all in the way you use those fingers!” What’s better than playing Guitar Hero—“get a real guitar you nerd” — the coolest parent-to- son story you’ll ever hear. The band’s latest track Head in Hands argues the duality of being a kid and the adult expectations to conform to societies predetermined “design of life.” Weatherworn is available on all major streaming services: https://www.weatherwornva.com/

Just Talking

Vanessa Forsblad aka ‘thatonecatholicgirl’ aspiring Catholic apologist joins JUST TALKING on Good Friday to share the goodness. If religion is a relationship with God does that make your boyfriend a “side piece?” Time to change your profile on Christian Mingle to “praying the field.” At 18 most people have no idea what they want to do with themselves, life goals, etc. Vanessa knew early on there were two things she was passionate about, her faith and eating bean and cheese burritos with her grandmother. Religion has provided structure, tradition and values. She loves teaching and sharing, “because I just see the beauty of having something like that in your life.” Do you have to go to church to be spiritual? Millennials and Gen Z feel out of touch speaking about religion. WHY are people so reluctant to talk about their beliefs? Has technology become a new religion? We’re so connected now it should be easier than ever to share your faith. There’s been a decline in religious affiliation with Millennials and Gen Z. BUT is there an uprising on the verge? Apologist Vanessa says young people want the structure back, want a supportive community, an authoritative figure who can provide guidance and spiritual answers —— are we asking for an AI Jesus? Follow your moral compass. Use the search engine inside you and if you get no answers, let’s just pray on it first. Follow, listen and Pray: https://www.thatonecatholicgirl.com

Strike A Chord

Steve Ornest from Total Access Recording Studios joins STRIKE A CHORD to share his story about becoming a world renowned music producer. Lava lamps and keyboard players, it’s the recording studio dream. BUT how did young teenage Steve use his Gibson Les Paul guitar skills to pay the bills and get a new dad named Wyn Davis? Steve earned a degree at the Berklee College of Music in NY where there was fierce competition from eager rivals. He found a new talent arranging and producing songs setting him apart from just being a guitar player. Hard rock and metal forever —— well, until you get a mortgage and family. “It can take 100 hours or more just on one song. It’s not just about making it sound good, it’s about making you feel something, capturing lightning in a bottle can take time.” What are Producer Steve’s pet peeves? 1st more cowbell — a SNL Blue Oyster Cult sketch reference (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVsQLlk-T0s). 2nd I want to sound like this artist! This business is a team effort. You have to develop your brand. There’s writers, producers, agents, managers, etc.. Let’s do YOU and make the best version of what YOU are already doing. Produce that next album at Total Access Recording Studios: https://www.tarecording.com

Moonraker vocalist and drummer David Green joins STRIKE A CHORD to discuss their upcoming album release “The Forest” available on May 6th. Crazy is contagious! First single “Crickets” could be about anything that gets you going—NFT’s, bandmates, cryptocurrency, or simply giving in to the voice in your head that says the world is against you!” Punk Rock life is a hard knock life — just ask Annie. The band’s gear gets stolen, they end up stranded in Mexico and in the middle of what became the pandemic. Most drummers would cry and die on their drumsticks but not Moonraker! Where other groups have joined the bandwagon of sucking on the crowdfunding tit—Moonraker stands defiant in the face of corporate overlords and says NO to whoring themselves out to social media. Moonraker gains strength from “being original, being yourself and doing the thing that maybe isn’t the thing.” Follow, support and listen at https://www.instagram.com/moonrakerpunx

JUST TALKING

Returning Guest Catherine Barnes joins JUST TALKING with her Folk Rock band entourage Calamity. When a Vegas club gig at the Cavern goes south the ladies make a break for the Mexican border in this comedy action radio play “Trouble a Calamity Adventure.” Nisha Catron and Cathryn Beeks started the project with Catherine Barnes after watching a James Bond solo show. Inspired by true shit hitting the fan it wasn’t difficult for the band to create an action, murder drama comedy radio play about calamity—it actually happened! Radio plays are making a revival. Batman Unburied “baterangs” Joe Rogan from Spotify’s number 1 podcast—holy WTF Batman! “There’s something amazing about listening, painting an image in your mind, plus it's way cheaper than CGI — Calamitization!” Rumor has it there’s a Harry Styles rock musical in development. If it’s true he’ll fit in with Calamity’s 5 lady ensemble nicely. “Trouble... it always finds us...” Follow, support and enjoy at : https://www.opendoorplayhouse.org/plays/thecalling57-s9np6-fneh9

STRIKE A CHORD

Vocalist Chris Hoffman of Wolf Rd. joins STRIKE A CHORD to speak on love, loss and rock. Wolf Rd’s new single “Way Down” is about picking up the pieces after getting your heart broken during a pandemic relationship — where’s the vaccine for that? Everybody hates Chris... or is it everybody loves to break up with Chris? Whatever—social media can be a cruel reminder that your EX is having more fun without you in the Metaverse. Technology can offer digital salvation in an analog world —BUT the future is “sex dolls!” When was the last time you had a good song? “As Good As It’s Gets” is a cathartic pop punk track—AND the music video has a hidden message for the fans. Here’s a hint. It’s a park in Chicago and #606. Follow, support and enjoy at: https://www.wolfrdband.com

Chris Collins Show - Episode 1204: San Diego CA, Los Saints, Punk Rock
play

07/08/22 • 34 min

3 piece Mexican American Indie Alternative Rock Band from Chula Vista California, Los Saints joins STRIKE A CHORD. Love is a powerful emotional force which can unlock doors of affection or close them. Lead singer Angel opens up about their single “Lost You.” How does a millennial get over the fear of falling in love? The EP “Welcome to Confusion” was written in the aftermath of breaking up with an energy vampire—a powerful message about receiving and giving love on equal terms. Angel started off as a single artist but found a family connection and an unlikely third member of the band when a mystical jam session unlocked the realm of Kick Ass music forming a trio known as Los Saints. Los Saints breaks down how overthinking can lead to mental chaos on their track “IDK” (I don’t know). Today’s bands need to compete on social media over likes and clicks but what about music videos? “Fouund You Somewhere” is one of the bands favorite music videos from the EP “Welcome to Confusion”—AND Angel’s music video directing debut! BUT why 2 “U’s?” Was it just a typo? “When real love comes it will come at your front door!” Listen, watch and support at: https://www.instagram.com/lossaintsofficial
