So for those of you not wrapped up in the uneventful 24 hour news coverage of a 10 year old murder case, we have a new and exciting interview. This week we talk with a musician, carpenter and fisherman. I mean none other than the eclectic Chuck Ragan.
Now if that name sounds familiar it’s not just because his name has the same pronunciation as a former president. Chuck fronted a couple of little Florida swamp bands by the name of Hot Water Music and Rumbleseat. Now a days Chuck is taking time to churn out some amazing solo music that is high in a rockatude, even if it’s low on electrical instruments. This is the only man who can knowledgably discuss major touring, shark tacos and Afro Cuban Jazz. Truly this interview has it all.
Not only do we have some of the only live recorded Chuck Ragan solo material we have a chance for you to win some as well. Just listen to the end of our broadcast (last 8 minutes) to learn how to enter to win. Also, you can send us messages at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, on our MySpace or on the comment sections on the main page. Enjoy, because next week we go back to the chaos that is interviewing whole bands.

This week marks a milestone, not necessarily for us at SSR, but for humanity as a whole. This week is the official release of one of the greatest pieces of cinema du force ever, Snakes on a Plane. Seriously, have the jokes gotten old? Sure. Is it going to be a mark of pop culture embarrassment years from now? Probably. Am I going to be there opening weekend? Absolutely.
And with that we at SSR bring you our very special (in no way related to) Snakes on a Plane episode, featuring the snakiest band around The World/Inferno Friendship Society. This ruckus group of east coasters may think everyone and everything about California stinks but we still can’t help but love them. So check out the interview and learn about Jack Tericlothes machete induced appendectomy, how they got kicked off tour with Mindless Self Indulgence and the origins of WWJD (What Would Jack Do). PLUS, bonus, guest interviewer Justin (a.k.a. Fuzzy) from PunkNews.org.
In addition we will be giving away TWO copies of World/Inferno’s new album Red-Eyed Soul (and let me tell you, your soul has red eyes because it just got its ass kicked by this rocking album). Honestly (and internet ass kissing aside) this is one of the best albums of the year, period. So listen to the last 8 minutes (at least) to learn how to ENTER TO WIN. As always send us love and hate care of SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, our MySpace or on the comments section (especially if you have a name like Balls Mahoney). So take care and fly safe, because if it’s not snakes on your plane you need to worry about, apparently it’s baby formula.

This week we bring you the fantastic second edition of our Warped Tour interviews. So sit back and enjoy music and interviews from The Living end and Every Time I Die. One band is Australian and plays an upright bass, one is American and has a music video featuring Michael Madsen, I’ll let you decide who is who. However, I will tell you that urine, Revolver magazine, and giant hair is discussed.
As these bands are both much to famous to give us stuff (and we didn’t want to ask as Warped Tour is draining enough) we will simply be running our Akimbo contest for another week. So check out the end of last weeks broadcast to learn how to enter to win fabulous prizes. As always, you can hit us up at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, on MySpace or under the comments section. Enjoy and check back next week for continued heights of awesomeness.

So here we are, another week and another wonderful, enlightening episode. This week we have Seattle’s Akimbo. These three guys have a rock-a-tude factor that is only beaten by their awesome hair factor. How good are they? So good that Jello Biafra insisted they put out an album with Alternative Tentacles. So if you love awesome metal infused hardcore these are your guys.
If you’re unfamiliar with their sound this week’s contest seeks to hook you up! You can ENTER TO WIN either a copy of Akimbo’s City of Stars or Forging Steel and Laying Stone or BOTH! Listen to the last 8 minutes of the broadcast to learn how to enter to win. As always hit us up at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, on our MySpace or on the comments section.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Double post today (first one ever, so be excited)! In this very special Warped Tour Edition we decided to bring you the maximum rock possible in the minimum time frame. That means interviews with both Against Me! and The Casualties.
First we talk with AM! bassist Andrew all about Florida, signing to Sire and why Vinnie from Less Than Jake interrupted our interview to dance around shirtless. Next we talk to Jake of The Casualties about their new album, recording a Spanish album and where they get their hair products. So enjoy.
Also, we will continue run our Theo and the Skyscrapers contest, so listen to the end of last weeks broadcast to get all the rules on how to enter that. And please drop us a line at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, MySpace or on our comments section.

“Welcome to hell, bitch!” Martin Lawrence – Nothing to Lose
I doubt one quote has ever summed up my feelings about weather and politics so well. However, to help you cool out and relax in this time of unending heat and political turmoil we bring you one of the coolest bands around, Theo and the Skyscrapers.
For those who don’t know Theo and the Skyscrapers features both Theo (of the Lunnachicks) and Sean (of Toilet Boys). But don’t let the history fool you, this band is a brand new creation. Imagine those bands who say their influences range from Slayer to Blondie, now imagine if their music actually reflected that. Well, Theo and The Skyscrapers music does. It’s an eclectic mix of hard rock and new wave pop, and it rules.
This shit is so good that we are giving away two copies of their debut self titled CD/DVD. That’s TWO discs for the price of none, you can’t possibly beat that. So listen to the last 8 minutes or so to learn how to enter to win (I’ll give you a clue, it involves sending you information to SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com). As always, say hi at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com , our MySpace page or on the comments section.
I’m going to sit in a tub of ice.

So I hope you all spent your Fourth of July week soaking in the beauty that is American Freedom. Apparently there was also some big Kickball tournament or something too (I guess it was on ESPN 8 or Telemundo). However, that garbage is purely for those Un-American godless, third world, countries who need to pray to Jesus for the salvation of democracy.
Speaking of praying, I pray that you’ve heard of No Trigger who hail from Dudley, MA (which is technically America). Their latest album, Canyoneer, has been getting love from critics and audiences alike and they have a live show that packs enough energy to power one of the those heathen third world countries. We got to talk with Tom and Mike from the band, which by the way, is the names of 80% of the band (if you’re doing the math that means two Tom’s and two Mike’s). These guys are not only really talented but funny as well (and cute as one of those buggley eyed kitten posters). So listen to this shit.
In addition we have a NEW CONTEST this week for a chance to win one of two copies of Canyoneer. As always listen to the last part of the broadcast to get the entry rules. You know you love us so hit us up at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, on our MySpace, or on the comments section. Enjoy nursing that week long hangover you got and be sure to come back next week for more awesome music and prizes.

P.S. I forgot to add that the song we play is “Hail Mary Leakey” (not Seeky or seeskey or whatever the hell I try and say). Like the pro’s we are we didn’t have the CD on us so we looked up the track names and apparently someone else mislabeled the track and we just followed them. My bad.

So let’s keep this simple as I have beer to drink and fireworks to watch. This week we talk with Chicken and Ian of the San Francisco, CA band Dead to Me. This band has members from both One Man Army and Western Addiction. How can it not rock? Answer: It must rock!
This isn’t so much an interview as it is me trying to contain the insanity that is Chicken. So if you want something that’s more funny than informative, this is your Podcast. Also we have a chance to ENTER TO WIN a free copy of Dead To Me’s debut album Cuban Ballerina. So check out the end of the broadcast to figure out how to get free shit. Also, drop us a line at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, on our MySpace (which is blowing up son!), or on our comments section right here on the webpage. So check it out and enjoy this amazing week in American independence.

I’m in the middle of watching an Eddie Izzard special I got on Netflix so this will be quick. This week we have Oakland, CA locals The Phenomenauts. I call them locals in that they claim Oakland as their headquarters, however they are truly citizens of Earth and they support Earth. More so than being Earth supporters they play awesome rock music with just enough rockabilly to keep things changing up. In addition their tour bus kicks much ass.
Along with their music and interview we’re giving away two copies of their Springman Records debut Re-Entry. So be sure to listen to the end of the broadcast to learn how to WIN THE FREE MUSIC!!! You can enter by messaging us at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, at MySpace, or on our comments section (if you’re brave). Enjoy and let us know if you enjoy it.

No crap intro this week, just a quick explanation. This week we talk with Oakland, California’s coolest band that used to have members in Link 80, DESA. All you really need to know about these guys is that they rock hard, real hard (and they live in the nicest ghetto you’ve ever been afraid to leave your car in). They’re on tour right now with RX Bandits and they have a new album out called Arriving Alive that blows away any of their previous stuff we play on this show. So, I highly suggest you get it.
Now if you’re unfortunate enough that the tour isn’t coming to your town (or you’re too poor to buy a CD), we’ve hooked it up with DESA so that one lucky listener will get a free copy of their new CD and a DESA t-shirt (which are designed by Aaron of DESA). So be sure to listen to the last of the segment and ENTER TO WIN!
In the meantime, we’re always on at MySpace or email us at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com. Keep checking back for more music and free stuff.
