Episode 14: The Violent High Fives

Episode 14 of the Akron Hour podcast features local folk-rock-but-other-stuff-too type of band, The Violent High Fives. Paul Gilbert, Seth Grable, and - none other than my co-host - Richie Cole sit down and get to the nitty-gritty about their power trio. They were kind enough to record a song live in the studio and we made a music video for it right here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=39zA4fwH_OM The show ends with "Down the Road" from The VHF's new EP. Follow The Violent High Fives on Facebook now! As always, thanks for listening.

Episode 13: Milk Spot

Episode 13 of the Akron Hour podcast features the highly energetic, fast-paced, and eccentric band Milk Spot from Florida! They played Annabell's in Highland Square of Akron while they passed through on their first ever cross-state tour. We play two songs off their new release - "Heteroflexible" - and you should definitely turn it up when you hear those tunes. These guys and gal really know how to write a song that not only showcases their tight musicianship, but also provides comic relief in their lyricism. Check out more music from Milk Spot on milkspot.bandcamp.com/ or like them on Facebook.

Episode 12: Respect Our Hustle (Behind the Scenes & More)

Episode 12 of the Akron Hour podcast is a special edition episode! We had enough random material from past episodes that we cut but still found interesting or too funny to not share. Clips from Meow Meow Kitty members Matt Bond & Maze Haze, some Time Cat stuff, a bit called "Letters from Nay-Nay," and the episode closes out with a sweet jam session with Richie Cole, Greg Blair, and Zack Lint. We also had a short interview with one of our best friends, Kaia Smith, that we wanted to include. As well as a recording we did with John Aylward when he interviewed Paul and Richie for an Akronist article (akronist.com/akron-podcast-duo-…heir-comfort-zone/). Thanks for listening and email AkronHour@gmail.com for any feedback or inquiries!
