FUN FACT: While they hail from El Paso, Texas, Knowsuffer drummer Joseph "Jay" James is actually a life-long Philadelphia Eagles fan... partly because his grandfather, Louis "Lou" Lee James, Jr. played for The Birds from 1965-67! Also, go check out Know//Suffer's new EP, The Curse of Care, now available exclusively on Silent Pendulum Records! 🦅🟢🏈💀🫀🧷

New 3 Feet High & Rising feature is now live at The Witzard. We profiled the new single/7-inch from Ol‘ June & The Ashburns. "What's Her Name?" B/W "Can't Let Go" are two slices of buttery smooth Soul that Ol’ June Music music and Johnny Ashburn are calling The New Vintage. It's currently available for pre-order directly from LRK Records and will see a wide physical release on March 20, 2026! Both the A/B-sides are now streaming, as well! 😎🟠⚫️💽

So, this week, Knocked Loose recruited emcee Denzel Curry for their first spirited collaboration called "Hive Mind." I'm sure people don't wanna hear me talk about "Rap-Rock" or (Neo?)"Nu-Metal" anymore... but that's, essentially, what this is and it sounds like something straight off of either the Judgement Night Soundtrack or Loud Rocks compilation... and I f***in' love it! Go read all about "Hive Mind" exclusively at The Witzard now!

New interview is live at The Witzard! Now, this one is a bit of a lay-over from late last year... but I got to talk with Disco Vietnam AKA brothers Barry Shwartz and Kenny Lane Schwartz about their latest effort.

They arranged, produced, mixed, and mastered 110% of Zilla Rocca's FAST EDDIE now available on Three Dollar Pistol Music. Go stream it and check out my in-depth interview with The Disco Vietnam Bros. exclusively at TheWitzard.com! 🪩🪖🏆🦁🧱🎱🃏

New Brunswick, NJ's own Pop-punk/Emo stalwarts Toyko Rose have returned with their first single in some 20 years! "Something Sweeter" stems from their forthcoming EP, Phoenician Fire, due out later this year on Manic Kat Records. Tokyo Rose's new song and the EP were both recorded and produced by Fred Mascherino and Stephen Angello at Diver Down Studios.

Check it out exclusively at The Witzard and read some commentary provided by Tokyo Rose vocalist/guitarist Ryan Dominguez! Gear up for more sweet sounds from the NJ Emo/Pop-punk revival!!!

So, today's latest The Witzard feature showcases one of my favorites from late last year: Cove Park's self-titled debut EP. It was cool getting to know Mat, Matt, Bitu & Tim, learn about their inspirations behind both Cove Park, as well as The Hog Doctors' Simp. Go check out my feature on the Cove Park EP now exclusively at The Witzard. Cove Park is now available digitally on Please Stop Embarrassing Me Reccords 🟡🟤

Now, I have my go-to Christmas/holiday albums (like all of us do!) and I've had the same CD's for the last 15-20 years.

Although, Jesse Wagner (The Aggrolites) & Western Standard Time Ska Orchestra's Bluebeat Holiday has become a recent favorite! I guess they're calling it "Skanatra" (Ska + Frank Sinatra) these days!

So, long story short, I had a chance to interview both Jesse and W.S.T.S.O. bandleader/founder Eitan Avineri this holiday season! It was awesome! Give it a holly, jolly read before Christmas gets up and going! Support The Witzard this ho-ho-holiday season!!! 🤠🏁❄️🟢⚪️
