Can’t Ignore the Train

In part two, 10,000 Maniacs: Can’t Ignore the Train brings listeners a new sound. As the once-heavily populated Jamestown music scene began to thin out, a new group with little to no musical training but a fervor for expression and undeniable chemistry emerged, blending different styles into a hybrid sound.

Aaron Perez and Emily Drew produced the Can't Ignore the Train audio documentary.

Can't Ignore the Train (Documentary - Part 1) Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

This week's episode of Unfinished: A 10,000 Maniacs Podcast features Part 1 of a four-part audio documentary that originally aired on WRFA 107.9 in Jamestown, NY.

--------------------

Can’t Ignore the Train, Part 1, begins in Jamestown, a small, forgotten factory town in the Western part of New York State where long winters and gray skies gave way to the nuanced sound of 10,000 Maniacs. The band’s global success came with their first major-label record deal in 1984, but the story begins with the local scene that shaped their creative voice six years earlier.
