I discovered The Bombpops a few years ago through Fat Wreck Chords, I was living in Barcelona and the weather was just perfect for the vibes, I become an instant fan. Their latest album 'Death In Venice Beach' is an absolute banger and came out last year just as COVID decided to rear it's ugly head.Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/miztrujillo)I was incredibly excited to chat with someone I find so encouraging and we cover a LOT.

On this episode of the podcast I have a chat with Dylan Slocum; lead singer & guitarist for Spanish Love Songs. I've loved every single one of Spanish Love Songs records, last years release 'Brave Faces Everyone' has become an integral part of my lockdown soundtrack. I was excited to chat to Dylan about the band and their wonderful Patreon content, but also to dig a little into his background as an assistant to a Hollywood screenwriter/director. He didn't disappoint. Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/miztrujillo)The conversation is a realistic view on what bands are dealing with both at the moment and on an ongoing basis, the marketing, uncertainty, financial struggles, sustainbility ... that being said, it's also an encouraging chat that shows how important it is to be adaptable. I found Dylan's view on things incredibly relatable, especially when it comes to social media and the amount of energy I have available to dedicate to it. I really hope you enjoy the chat, because I love having Dylan on the show. Can not wait for gigs to be back so I can sing along live again.

Absolute honour chatting to Jason Lytle; singer and songwriter for the band Grandaddy, as well as solo musician and absolute legend, on this episode of the podcast. It's hard to describe how much it meant to me to chat with Jason, I'm incredibly thankful. 'Sophtware Slump' is an album that really affected me and my music taste in a major way, hearing it recently reworked and stripped back on the wooden piano was absolutely wonderful too. It's not just that album though, Jason's work just hits me where it hurts (in the best way possible) and; in particular, his solo release 'Yours Truly, The Commuter' gained new meaning when I had to go back to London and commute daily a while back. I don't think I ever quite cried at 8am on a packed Central Line tube, but I've sure come close (that's a lie, I've cried on the tube plenty of times).Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/miztrujillo)We cover a lot on the episode. I was looking forward to chatting about Jason's relationship with skateboarding and how that affected his trajectory, I obviously wanted to talk about music, but we also touch on mental health, marketing, our relationship with social media, finding balance and everything in between. I really hope you enjoy this one. Thanks Jason.Jason Lytle is playing some really special Grandaddy live stream shows in April and I couldn't be more excited.

On this episode I chat to Jimmy Stadt from Polar Bear Club & now a new band called Shy Tooth. This conversation means a whole lot to me, PBC were a band that inspired and captivated me like few others and I was incredibly gutted when they chose to call it a day. If you'd have told me 10 years ago I'd be chatting to Jimmy about films, music and marketing ... I'd have probably pooped my pants and been too anxious to even consider to idea. Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/miztrujillo)Shy Tooth have a new record coming out called 'Ultrasuede' and I couldn't be more excited!!! The single they've already released from it; 'Too Kind', is an absolute banger; as is the EP 'wavelengths' they released last year. Composed of members of Polar Bear Club, Marathon, Coming Down, Like Wolves and Green Dreams, you know you have to be excited. On the show Jimmy describes it like a super amped up Elvis Costello and I'm not going to argue with that, all I know is, it's bloody gorgeous and I wan't more. We also talk a bunch about films and the film club noYOUgo which Jimmy set up. I've joined but haven't had the pleasure to get involved yet (podcast duties and stuff). Links underneath if you're into the idea as much as I am!! It was an absolute pleasure getting to chat to Jimmy and I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity.

On this episode I chat to Dan Palmer, lead guitarist for Zebrahead, Death By Stereo, Fear No Empire, a bunch of cover bands aaaaannnd he's also a sessions musician. Basically Dan loves to play music and this episode is all about his attitude and passion towards what he does.Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/miztrujillo)Zebrahead have been a band I listened to a lot growing up. I'm pretty sure they got on my radar in 2007 when I caught them at the Bournemouth B.I.C.. and as far as I know Dan didn't start playing with them for a few years still. There a band that I always associate with fun times, they never took themselves too seriously and they were a guaranteed good time at festivals. It was also around this time that I also become a fan of Death By Stereo though, I remember them playing at the Bournemouth Opera House and finding people on MySpace to go watch them with. So, by the time Dan joined Zebrahead I was pretty familiar with both bands and really into the fact that Dan was juggling two bands that toured heavily; not to mentioned sounded pretty different to each other.It was an absolute pleasure getting to chat to him all these years later and getting to pick his brain. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.Follow Dan on - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danbystereo/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DanbystereoCheck out Zebrahead here: http://www.zebrahead.comFollow Zebrahead on - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zebraheadofficial/Twitter: https://twitter.com/zebraheadFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZebraheadYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/thebizman22Check out Death By Stereo - https://deathbystereo.bandcamp.comFollow Death By Stereo on - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deathbystereoband/Twitter: https://twitter.com/skullandboltsFacebook: https://en-gb.facebook.com/deathbystereoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DeathByStereobandFollow Dan's new band Fear No Empire on -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fearnoempire/Twitter: https://twitter.com/FearNoEmpireFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/FearNoEmpireYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVWcTf5Sk32EY1E-vzBTifQIf you can spare a minute, leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or recommend us on any network.

Loved having this conversation with Shane Brady; actor, magician and complete legend, who's been in a bunch of my favourite films including The Endless, Spring, Doctor Sleep & Synchronic.Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/miztrujillo)I initially stumbled across Shane's name repeatedly through powerhouse indie directors Aaron Moorhead & Justin Benson's incredible filmography. I'm a massive fan of their films and kept seeing Shane's name pop up, playing incredibly memorable characters that really stuck with me. I knew I was looking forward to hearing about his career, but I wasn't expecting to have such a great time chatting. He's a super charming, funny and smart guy who's got an incredibly positive and infectious energy. Ever wondered what the difference is between working on an indie film & a major blockbuster? Covered it!Rabbits, hats and Stephen King? There's a story about that too.Prosthetics that never get used, broken necks, magic, it's all in there.Hearing about his experiences working on set of some of my favourite movies was amazing and I really hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

This week I chat to Luke Henery, absolute legend, incredible photographer and bassist for the Brisbane based Alt Rock/Punk band Violent Soho. Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/miztrujillo)I stumbled across Violent Soho years ago whilst trying to find the UK Punk band 'WACO' on Spotify and finding Violent Soho's album of the same name. I was an instant fan of their hard hitting songs which somehow reminded me of a Punk Rock Buck Roger era Feeder; mixed in with 90's grunge and feel good anthemic singalongs. I've followed the bands output for the last few years and have been rewarded with banger after banger, this includes their 2020 release 'Everything is A-OK', which is HUGE and deserves to be heard in live venues as soon as Covid allows. Along the way I also become a bug fan of Luke's photography, so as you can imagine we had a lot to talk about. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Soooo, yeah, it's been a while. Life got a bit hectic there, but I'm back and I have an episode that I guarantee will make it up to you.Just before I lost all sense of time and was consumed with working for others/paying off bills, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Dan Le Sac. Honestly, that's huge for 31 year old me, but even bigger for me at 17 years old, standing awestruck at Mr Kypps in Poole having my mind completely blown by Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip.Weird thing is, I never even finished editing the episode, it got left on an old computer along with every other project I was working on at the time. Fast forward 8 or so months and you can find me frantically going through old hard drives, opening every single badly named file I can find to try and finally finish off the 10 - 12 projects I was juggling before diving head-on into full-time employment. P.S. I'm currently taking on new projects again, so if you think we should work on something together hit me up! Regardless to say, number one on my agenda was editing this episode; and it's honestly the best choice I made! The conversation is just as relevant as the day we recorded it, that I kind of expected as the whole point of the podcast is to create evergreen content, what I really didn't expect was to find it such a needed encouragement boost, I honestly can't wait for you to hear it!Find out more about Dan Le Sac here: http://www.danlesac.co.ukListen to Dan Le Sac here: https://danlesac.bandcamp.comListen To Dan Le Sac's Podcast Falling Forward: https://apple.co/3ch4c8ZWatch Dan Le Sac on Twitch here: https://www.twitch.tv/danlesacFollow Dan Le Sac on - Twitter: https://twitter.com/danlesacFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/danlesac.officialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/danlesac/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/danlesacLooking to set up your own Podcast?

Not sure if you've heard, but apparently Donald Trump's Italian interpreter was pulling funny faces at everything he said. In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised.
