Ep. 265: White Kaps w/ K.C. Maddox
Go follow my Instagram Support here White Kaps were a Southern California punk band known for their surf-punk energy, goofy humor, and rowdy live shows. They released several records through Fearless Records in the mid-’90s, standing out with songs that mixed skate culture, beach vibes, and tongue-in-cheek lyrics. While never a mainstream name, they earned a cult following in the punk scene for their fun, fast, and irreverent style. I never got to see these guys play cause they never came to Jersey but I remembered their name from the Fearles Flush sampler that I purchased in 98 so I reached out to KC, got him on the Zoom and this is what we chat about Bob Becker being their first front man Being the first Fearless Records release His thoughts on recording vocals for the records The weekend tour with Green Day Humorcore Getting some backlash for their name Why they didn’t want to tour so much And a ton more

Ep. 264: Hunter Gatherer w/ Matthew Palmerlee
Hunter Gatherer carved out a niche in Athens between approximately 1997 and 2004, folding into the post‑hardcore and emocore wave that was surging at that time. Their music drew equally from punk’s intensity and emo’s emotive melodies—yet with a poppier, hook-oriented bent, making their sound more accessible than one might expect from that blend. Despite a relatively brief run and limited releases, they made their mark in a vital era for Athens music, resonating with scene contemporaries and contributing to the city’s enduring reputation for musical diversity and authenticity. I got Matt on the Zoom and this is what we chat about: Playing with them back in the day Finding their old angelfire website with 95 shows they played Growing up with Whippersnapper Chuck from Hot Water working at a Subway Getting compared to Hot Water Music The Athens scene The Frotus Refused show Almost signing to Cargo Their roadie almost dying on the Europe tour Playing a woman's prison What lead to them breaking up The recent passing of their bassist Jason Mcnew His Brother’s label Aqua lamb records And a ton more Check out their angelfire website And their Instagram
