Episode One Hundred Thirteen - Posture & The Grizzly

June 2, 2022 • 41 mins
Today I'm talking to Posture & The Grizzly for the first new episode of Fly On The Call in a hot minute! The band has always flown a bit under the radar, while gathering an extremely dedicated fan base, but they are clear: they're in it for the long haul. We're discussing taking your time to allow music to happen organically, the setbacks, triumphs, and, of course, the process of their self titled LP 3. The band is wrapping up a to...

Episode One Hundred Twelve - Pictora Vark

April 14, 2022 • 29 mins
Pictoria Vark's The Parts I Dread is one hell of a debut. Intentional, spacious, and intimate, this bass-centered music doesn't quite have a singular point of comparison - but that just makes it even better. Our conversation hits on this unique space her music fills, using additional instrumentation to further storytelling, balancing her solo work while being a hired bassist for touring bands, and a whole lot more. Pictora Vark: ...

Episode One Hundred Eleven - Proper. returns

March 31, 2022 • 59 mins
Proper. have done it again - they dropped the best album of their career with The Great American Novel. Bringing in issues of identity, race, sex, and life in the 21st century this record is an in your face assessment of Erik Garlington's inner thoughts. And he's returning for the first time since the very first episode of Fly On The Call to break down the album, writing with Dan Campbell of The Wonder Years, being difficult to wor...

Episode One Hundred Ten - Brutalligators

March 31, 2022 • 44 mins
For the first of two new episodes today we're hopping over to the UK to talk to Brutalligators. They're a punk band with an edge and a healthy dose of emo, in the vein of PUP, Spanish Love Songs, or Latterman. Their debut LP, This house is too big, this house is too small, is not your average break-up record - it's a cohesive journey through grief, mental health, inclusion, and identity. So give it a spin, enjoy the episode, and ch...

Episode One Hundred Nine - Riverby returns

March 24, 2022 • 37 mins
Absolution, out tomorrow, is an absolute heater and a level-up for Riverby in just about every way. From changes in sonic palette, to a more collaborative process, and working with Jim Wert in the studio Absolution is all about making the music the band wants and making it sound the best it can. We're talking all that as well as accidentally creating a concept album, the plans for the Riverby cinematic universe, and more. Riverby...

Episode One Hundred Eight - James Barrett

Today is all about James Barrett's A Series Of... Mostly Nothing. Believe me when I say this album is HUGE. Like room-filling, all-surrounding, epic rock music.

For the next two weeks there will be new episodes of Fly On The Call on both Wednesday and Thursday so I'll catch you ba...

Episode One Hundred Seven - Jaypitts

March 3, 2022 • 46 mins
Today's conversation is with Jaypitts - the first hip hop artist to come on the show. As a jack of all content trades, he's worked for years to not just create music he is passionate about, but also find an audience who connects with him on a deep level. Whether it's been music, TikTok, YouTube, or any other path, he has sought a way to use it to his benefit. Now he is in a position where he has reached a level of success that allo...

Episode One Hundred Six - Raccoon Tour

February 24, 2022 • 52 mins

With extensive lore, multiple re-records, and plenty more multimedia storybuilding the in the works, you can tell this is a special project. Today on Fly On The Call we're peeling back the layers on how this album became so time consuming and meticulously crafted, the growth made throughout its creation, and working with label I Surrender Records to ...

Episode One Hundred Five - Perennial returns

February 17, 2022 • 42 mins
Perennial returns - both musically and to the podcast! After a grueling wait their sophomore album, In The MIdnight Hour, has finally seen the light of day (or should I say the dark of night?). The episodes delves into how the album has changed since fall of 2019, building their own world, and making a record that isn't limited by any one genre.

Episode One Hundred Four - saint judas

February 10, 2022 • 41 mins
saint judas is a newly collaborative solo project that falls somewhere on the folky, vibey side of emo. Their new EP, a terrible year, builds on the previous releases while showing a side of the band that could not have come to be without the DIY community. That, along with music as a form for therapy, is a main focus of this conversation, which I think you'll agree is a special one. Saint Judas: Spotify | Twitter | Instagram | B...

Fly On The Call is coming back at you with a conversation with Jail Socks! Coming Down was one of my most anticipated records of 2020 and while it wasn't 100% what I expected, it is still a great record.

September 3, 2021 • 39 mins

We are here, the final double digit episode of Fly On The Call!

Episode Ninety-Eight - A Tiger Made of Lightning

September 2, 2021 • 27 mins
A Tiger Made of Lightning released one of my songs of 2020 with their debut single "exhausted". It encompassed what so many of us were feeling, with a strong, passionate sound, and without pulling any punches. At the same time there was an undercurrent of positivity that served as a reminder that not everything was shit. That positivity is brought even further in the follow-up single and the soon to be released debut EP, "It's Chao...

Episode Ninety-Seven - Arms Like Roses

August 31, 2021 • 34 mins
Arms Like Roses came together in an almost spur of the moment way and even the band themselves are almost surprised at how far they've come. Their debut EP, Get Some Sleep, melds classic emo and post-hardcore sounds with a plethora of other genres, eventually leading to a more concise vision for LP1, which is currently being finished up. The band just released an acoustic follow-up EP, Past Midnight, and have hit the ground running...

Telethon are back! I say this both referring to the fact that they were one of the first guests on Fly On The Call, way back in episode two, and that they just released their ripper of a new record, Swim Out Past The Breakers. For those unfamiliar with the band, they are a hard rockin', poppin', genre swappin' good ole time! The new album has plenty of features, flourishes that couldn't have been added with a standardized studio ex...
