We're rapidly approaching the end of Series Four of Life In The Stocks, at which point the podcast will be going on hiatus. I hope you've enjoyed this recent run of guests and conversations. The main thing that strikes me as I prepare to take a break from the show - and as I look back on all the people I've been lucky enough to interview over the years - is all the wonderful friendships and connections that I've made along the way. Thank you to everyone who's been a part of the journey.
Mike Squires is someone I first met 12 years ago whilst working at Kerrang! Radio, when he was out on the road with Duff McKagan. Whit Crane was also there that day, and as well still playing with Duff, Mike now also plays with Ugly Kid Joe. That's a perfect metaphor for the symbiotic nature of this business. When it's good it's great - there's nothing quite like it. And it all seems to come full circle eventually. I know Mike can attest to that. This was a really wonderful conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Be sure to check out Mike's podcast Couch Riffs whilst you're at it. And look out for him on bass on tour with Duff McKagan this October.

Kelly LeMieux from Goldfinger and Buckcherry is my guest for Episode 346 of Life In The Stocks. Kelly is one of the most enthusiastic and stoked people I've met through music. His positive energy is infectious and he's got a great attitude towards both life and the business. We get into the full scope of it here, from the early days of the Electric Love Hogs with John Feldmann to his longstanding friendships and relationships with Feldy, Charlie and Darrin from Goldfinger. Having now had all those guys on the podcast, I'd love to see them all bury the hatchet and play together again. We shall see. Thanks to Kelly for a great talk: this episode offers all kinds of interesting insights into the LA music scene from the 1980s to the present day.

Life In The Stocks Episode 345 features legendary low desert musician and stoner rock stalwart, Brant Bjork. This conversation with Brant explores the history of the desert rock movement and the story of Kyuss. We also discuss Brant's time in Fu Manchu, Vista Chino, Stoner, The Low Desert Punk Band, and his myriad of solo records. It's hard to think of many people with as many albums as this man, and we get into as much of it as one hour permits right here and now. Dig in!

Here's another man that's led a rich and multifaceted life. Pete Stahl is probably best known as the lead singer in Scream, the Virginia hardcore band for which Dave Grohl drummed before joining Nirvana. But Pete has sung in a plethora of musical projects - Wool, Goatsnake, Orquesta del Desierto, The Desert Sessions, Earthlings? - and toured with the likes of Rammstein, Queens of the Stage, Rival Sons and Coheed and Cambria in a multitude of different roles. His Instagram handle is @youshouldwriteabook and he really should. Consider this podcast the introductory chapter. Enjoy!

Musician, actor and composer Zander Schloss has led an incredibly interesting life. And we cover as much of it as time permits in this episode of Life In The Stocks, from his break in the music and film industry to his brief stint in the Red Hot Chili Peppers, his longstanding friendship and creative relationship with Joe Strummer, and his time in the Circle Jerks, who coincidentally are the first band in which every member has now featured on the podcast in individual episodes. There's a ton of great stories and plenty of insightful words of wisdom within this conversation, so dig in and enjoy the ride.

The punk rock legend and gentleman Joey Castillo returns for his second appearance on Life In The Stocks this week. The Bronx, Circle Jerks and Zakk Sabbath drummer - plus a dozen other bands - joins me to discuss the aforementioned bands and his timelines and involvement with all of them, plus side notes like the time he tried out for Guns N' Roses and the band that he's in with Tim Armstrong and Jesse Michaels from Operation Ivy. Joey is not only one of the most talented and in-demand drummers in the world, he's also one of the greatest guys I've ever had the pleasure of touring, performing and spending time with. He really is an absolute geezer. Love ya, Joey!!!

I first met Millie Manders ten years ago. I saw her performing at a Scroobius Pip Presents night in Camden, and I was so impressed I invited her to come and record an interview and live session for my short lived Punk Show on the equally short lived Team Rock Radio. Since then, I've watched Millie build her career up from scratch and grind away as a successful solo independent artist on the UK punk scene. In this podcast, we talk about the realities, struggles and rewards that come with that territory, and the resulting conversation is a super honest account of life as an independent UK artist, and the ways in which Millie has been able to sustain a full-time career in music. We also discuss the changes in the music industry - both good and bad - over the last ten years, and Millie's full range of musical tastes and influences. Be sure to pick up her new album, Wake Up, Shut Up, Work, which is out now!!!

Lily Meff from The Meffs joins me for Episode 340 of Life In The Stocks. The Meffs are not only one of my favourite UK bands around right now, they are also two of my absolute favourite people. I've shared the stage with the band a couple of times - on tour with Sonic Boom Six and for NOFX's final London shows - and we've had the chance to hang out in Berlin and Madrid, and I can't say enough good things about them, as musicians and as people.
In the conversation you're about to hear, I talk to Lily about our mutual friend Frank Turner and his integral role in the story of The Meffs. We also discuss Fat Mike and his involvement with the band, and what it means to The Meffs to have the support of people like Frank and Mike. We talk about two-piece bands, how two is the magic number, and Lily teases new music from The Meffs and drops hint in regards to their new record. The band have a monster arena tour with Alice Cooper coming up in October. Go and see them!!!

Jon Snodgrass doesn't like to call himself a solo artist. He prefers to think of himself as "solo with a bro." He's full of all sorts of bumper sticker philosophies like this, and we get into a myriad of them during the course of this conversation. It also gets quite personal and emotional towards the end. There is no one quite like Jon Snodgrass, as this episode ultimately proves. And remember: 50/50 is 100%

Joining me for Episode 338 of Life In The Stocks is Johnny Marriott from the band Pet Needs. Unbeknownst to me, Johnny has been listening to the podcast for years, so it was a pleasure to welcome him onto the show as a guest. Pet Needs are one of my favourite new UK bands, and their productivity is astounding: since the pandemic they've released three albums and toured all the UK and America with Frank Turner and The Bouncing Souls. If you like this conversation, be sure to check out their music if you're yet to do so. And go see Pet Needs on tour with Laura Jane Grace later this year.

Sam McTrusty from Twin Atlantic is my guest for Episode 337 of Life In The Stocks.
I was one of the first people in the world to play Twin Atlantic on the radio back in the Kerrang! days, and I was a big champion of the band in the lead up to the release of their second album, Free. But I've not really seen or spoken to Sam since that time, so it was a genuine pleasure to jump on the mics and catch up on the last decade of our lives.
We talk line-up and record label changes, and the past, present and future of Twin Atlantic, including the band's forthcoming album Meltdown, which for my money is the best thing they've done since Free. It comes out in August and it's probably the band's definitive musical statement to date. You heard it here first.

Bobby Nerves from the excellent not-new-but-could-very-well-be-new-to-you band Bad Nerves joins me for Episode 336 of Life In The Stocks to discuss the band’s ten year trajectory to get to where they are now, touring with The Darkness and The Hives, how Bobby is building himself up to be a frontman in the same vein as Justin Hawkins and Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist, songwriting and creativity, the difficult second album, and the greatest second album title ever...

My guest for Episode 335 of Life In The Stocks is one of the greatest frontmen alive. And his band are perhaps the most criminally overlooked rock 'n' roll group on the planet. I'm talking about the enigmatic Eric Nally from Foxy Shazam, who I'm so thrilled to welcome onto the podcast.
We have a lot to discuss, from working on the self-titled Foxy Shazam album with producer John Feldmann to some of the amazing guests musicians who played on it, including Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols and the world's best drummer for hire, Josh Freese. We also talk about working on The Church of Rock N Roll record with Justin Hawkins, and the Gonzo album with Steve Albini.
We chat about Eric's friendship and creative partnership with Macklemore, including the smash hit single 'Downtown' that they worked on together, how Macklemore inspired Eric to get sober, and the ways in which his life has changed and improved as a result - creatively, physically & spiritually.
Finally, we discuss the dynamic with his band mates in Foxy Shazam, and Eric teases some new music in the not-too-distant future. I absolutely love this band and I urge you to check out their amazing back catalogue if you're not familiar with their music. I honestly think they're one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands of the last 25 years. Eric is such a powerhouse performer. I was thrilled to have him on the show. Enjoy!

American broadcast journalist, political commentator and published author Alisyn Camerota joins me for Episode 334 of Life In The Stocks to discuss her memoir Combat Love, which is out now on Rare Bird Publishing - the same publication company that put out my two books, Life In The Stocks Volume One & Volume Two.
As well as her book, we also talk about growing up in New Jersey and discovering punk rock as a teenager, the formative experiences she had during that time, how working in hospitality prepared her for a career in live broadcasting, how she prepares for interviews with politicians and world leaders, the impact of social media on the news and how hard it is to discern the truth nowadays, and the ways in which the TV and media industry has evolved over time.
We also talk about going back and making peace with the past through the process of writing her book, healing old wounds, dealing with trauma and sexual assault, and finding true love and happiness with her husband. It's a great talk with a really lovely lady. I hope you find it as insightful and inspiring as I did.

Multi-disciplinary artist and all-round awesome human being Brittany Elliott joins me for Episode 333 of Life In The Stocks. I first met Brittany on the Kiss Kruise in 2022 and we became fast friends. In this conversation that you're about to hear, we talk about meeting on the Kiss Kruise, Brittany's love of music and all things rock n roll, how she fell in love with tattooing and the culture around that art form, the incredible work that she does with her Heavy Metal Tables project, how music and art have the power to heal, her relationship with creativity, her childhood, losing her mum to addiction, how her dad was her all-time hero, dealing with bouts of sadness and how important it is to stay positive, and so much more. This is a wonderful conversation with a truly beautiful soul. I hope you get something positive out of it, as I did talking to Brittany.

Josh Fleming from the Vandoliers joins me for Episode 332 of Life In The Stocks. This episode was recorded back in February when we were on tour together with Bowling For Soup and Less Than Jake. I have such fond memories of that tour, and I'm grateful for Josh's friendship and company and the conversations we shared on the road, both on and off the mic.
Here, we discuss purpose, recovery, healing and hustling, our mutual love of Frank Turner and The Bronx, and Josh schools me on country and Americana music. Be sure to give the Vandoliers a follow on social media, and check out their music on the streaming services. They're a great band and a lovely bunch of guys.

Welcome to Life In The Stocks Episode 331. This is Frank Turner's third official appearance on the podcast.
Here, we break down Frank's recording output now that he’s ten albums in, and dissect all the peaks and valleys of his solo career and how the music industry has evolved during that time, including the rise and infiltration of social media.
We also talk about dealing with negative energy online, using your platform as a successful artist to affect positive change, how working with younger bands like Pet Needs and The Meffs has invigorated Frank as a songwriter, and what it's like to be in a band that doesn’t fit in with any larger musical movement or scene.
We also throw in some chat about our mutual friend Fat Mike and how Frank recently became buddies with Kiefer Sutherland, and why I believe Frank should write his autobiography already.
Thank you, as always, to my great friend Francis for coming on.

I've got an extra special guest joining me for Episode 330 of Life In The Stocks. It's my dear friend Lzzy Hale from Halestorm. I've known Lzzy for 13 years, but this is her first official appearance on the podcast - the Soundtrack Apocalypse episode during the pandemic doesn't count!
And we make up for lost time by diving right into it. We discuss growing up and getting older, moving through life, self-improvement, self-development, being a role model, inspiring others, paying it forward, losing yourself, rediscovering your sense of purpose, going through therapy, songwriting, creativity, connection, cultivating an authentic relationship with your fanbase, showing up for your band mates and them showing up for you, the importance of community and camaraderie, singing with GWAR and Skid Row, Halestorm, obviously, and a lot more more.
I've been doing this podcast for nearly eight years and I've done 330 episodes to date, and this one ranks amongst my all-time favourite episodes. Thanks so much to Lzzy for such a lovely conversation, and for being such a great friend to me over the years. Happy listening!!!
