Season 2 - Ep. 6 - California's Great Rock Historian with Marko DeSantis of Sugarcult & Bad Astronaut Part 1
The Powered By Rock Podcast
02/28/22 • 48 min
I am going to be speaking with a veritable legend of rock music over the last 30 or so years, Marko DeSantis. Marko has played in such bands as Sugarcult, Popsicko, a short stint in The Ataris, and was a member of one of my personal favorite bands of all time, Bad Astronaut. Now Marko teaches the business side of music and DJ’s as well as helps promote bands. His life is intertwined with the California rock scene of the 90’s in so many ways, and we are going to hear some incredible stories.
I am pretty stoked to talk to Marko, because having people like him on the show is exactly why I started this podcast in the first place. Marko has been ingrained in the punk scene in California for the last 30 or so years, and I figured it would be great to have a first hand account of some of the coolest stories straight from one of the sources. Marko has been a member of some very well known bands, but he is also really good friends with bands that are household names as well.
This is Part 1 of our 2-part conversation.

The Powered By Rock Podcast
05/06/24 • 18 min
Episode Summary:
In an industry where rejection is as common as a three-chord song, Isaac Kuhlman sheds light on the surprisingly rough beginnings of some of the most revered names in rock history.
Bands like The Beatles, U2, Nirvana, Radiohead, and Linkin Park all share histories marked by initial industry rebuffs, only to later ascend to legendary status.
This episode delves into the narratives of missed opportunities, relentless perseverance, and the fateful intersections that changed the course of music history.
Each story Kuhlman shares is a testament to the tenacity and innovative spirit of these artists.
From The Beatles being turned away by Decca Records to Lincoln Park's whopping 40 rejections, these tales underscore the transformative power of belief in one’s artistic vision.
The summaries recount the lessons learned and the triumphs earned, reminding listeners that many music industry trailblazers once faced closed doors and skeptical ears before breaking through to achieve worldwide acclaim.+
Key Takeaways:
- The Beatles, despite being rejected by Decca Records, went on to revolutionize music after signing with EMI’s subsidiary, Parlophone.
- U2 overcame initial resistance to secure their place within Island Records, which led to global fame and the genesis of anthemic rock.
- After numerous rejections, Nirvana found success with Geffen Records, catalyzing the grunge movement with their album "Nevermind."
- Radiohead proved that artistic integrity could yield immense success after a lukewarm reception from EMI led to their groundbreaking works like "OK Computer."
- Linkin Park * faced a staggering number of rejections before Warner Bros Records took a chance on them, resulting in a debut album that would define their genre.

Dissecting Sleave's New EP "All These Songs Are About You" with Julien Robert
The Powered By Rock Podcast
11/09/23 • 88 min
Hello and welcome to the Powered By Rock podcast where I am going to be speaking with Julien Robert of the Richmond, Virginia alternative/punk/hardcore band Sleave today.
They have a brand new EP called All These Songs Are About You that just came out at the end of October via Engineer Records in the UK and Sell The Heart Records in the U.S., and it is a 4-song roller coaster ride and marks their first new music since 2019.
I actually came upon these guys via me playing music videos on YouTube and their videos coming up after something that I had played which led me to immediately post about how awesome they were on Instagram. I believe it was the video for “Swept” and then subsequently watching the other videos immediately afterwards.
The band has grown over the years to the point that they toured Canada and even India, and they are in the process of putting out more music in the near future.
So, keep your eyes open for all the goodness that your ears will enjoy soon.

In the Spotlight - Season 3 - Ep. 16 with George Pajon Jr. of Black Eyed Peas and Cairo Knife Fight - A Powered By Rock Podcast Short
The Powered By Rock Podcast
11/11/22 • 14 min
Hey there, it’s Isaac from Powered By Rock here to bring George Pajon Jr. from the Black Eyed Peas and Cairo Knife Fight into the spotlight for a few minutes, and make him sweat with some on-the-spot questions.
Welcome, George. Are you ready to be put in the spotlight?
1 - You have traveled the world and played probably every size stage imaginable. What was the single coolest show you have played, and what group were you playing with? Do you have a “worst show” experience?
2 - You have worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry over the past 35 or so years. Is there anyone you have NOT worked with that you are really wanting to do something with them?
3 - You have one of the most insane pedal board rigs and amp setups I have ever seen. How much money and time would you say you have invested into this system to allow you to play the loops and switch between amps and all the other crazy shit that you play live?
4 - Another thing that you have is an absolutely sweet guitar lineup. Let’s say your studio started on fire while you were in it, and because you only have two hands, you can only carry two guitars out of the fire, which two are you taking with you?
5 - If you could go back in time and change one thing about your musical career, what would you have done differently?
I want to thank the man, the myth, the legend, George Pajon for stepping In the Spotlight and answering these hot seat questions.
Make sure to go to the show notes below this episode for links to the music and watch our full podcast interview as well!
Until we see you again for the next episode,
Rock on!
