Tom interviews Eren and Vidi from Seventh Station about their upcoming EP, On The Shoulders Of Giants set to release on February 22. The EP, featuring five tracks, blends various musical styles and pays homage to contemporary classical composers. The writing process involved arranging existing classical pieces with modern instruments and sounds. The band members, spread across different countries, faced challenges in recording but managed to create a cohesive and tight album. They emphasize the importance of storytelling in their music, aiming to provide a immersive, distraction-free listening experience.

Greg of Voidward discussed the band's evolution since its inception in 2013, highlighting the transition from a solo project to a band with Noah Kessler and Alec Farrell. They recorded their 2022 album in 2019 but released it in 2022 due to COVID-19 delays. Greg mentioned recording 11 versions of "The Plowman" and experimenting with different recording techniques. He also discussed the concept of a "micro album" and "macro single" to challenge traditional album formats. Future plans include releasing a new full-length album and potentially touring. Greg emphasized the importance of having fun and the flexibility in the music industry.

Labros, of Greek band 1000mods, joins me for an in-depth conversation about the band. We discuss their DIY approach to growing the band and their own label along with how they've made distribution work and their growth as a band. After years together working to grow the band, they decided to help other bands grow. Forging new paths in places they haven't played before, the band continues an upward trajectory that is amazing to watch happen from the outside. Their new album "Cheat Death" is their 5th album and the introduction to their relationship with Ripple Music and the love of music all those folks have. #1000mods #ripplemusic #andnowtheband #fyp #viral #viralshorts #viralreels #heavymusic #stoner #doom #diy #podcasting
