Season 2 Ep. 2 - John Montross of Punk Rock Radar Brings Perspective on History and Current State of Punk Music Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of The Powered By Rock Podcast, I speak with John Montross from the online publication, Punk Rock Radar. John has spent countless hours scouring through punk rock music every day for the last couple of years, and he has spent most of his life loving punk music. So, I figured what better person to bring on to speak about the past, present and future state of punk rock!

If you haven't checked out his site or his social media presence, you definitely should, because it will keep you abreast of A LOT of the punk music releases that come out, and he even helps do rankings from time to time to help you know which ones you should prioritize.

Season 2 - Ep. 1 - Balancing Adulthood with Being an Indie Rock Icon with Tim Kasher of Cursive Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

Hello and welcome to the Powered By Rock podcast where we are going to be speaking with an absolute musical legend in my opinion. He is one of the four musicians I would put on my personal Mount Rushmore of greatest musicians of all time. A man who should really not even need an introduction, but he is not only a demigod of indie rock, but also a TV trivia game champion! That’s right, I will be speaking with Tim Kasher from Cursive and The Good Life.

I have to pinch myself a little bit, because I get to speak with one of my literal all-time favorite artists. Tim Kasher is on the show, and between Cursive, The Good Life, and his solo work, he has put out literally hundreds of songs that can take you on incredible emotional journeys. The god among men himself is here.
