The Flint Connection Podcast: Scott Carlson (Repulsion)

Michael A talks to one of the pioneers of Grindcore, metal legend Scott Carlson, bassist and singer of the influential band that almost wasn't, Flint's own Repulsion. They talk about meeting in the 80s and bonding over Redd Kross, Mudhoney and Mother Love Bone, Scott spins tales of metal madness, failure and surprise delayed success, and they're left with more questions than answers about Faygo Rock 'n' Rye. Will Repulsion make another album? Scott has an answer. Flint is one of the most unique cities in the world, with a vibe and a heart like no other. Any musician who plays here is somehow transformed by it. This podcast explores the experiences of those musicians, visitors or native Flintoids, both onstage and off. We'll check out some of their music, look at their history in my hometown of Flint, and have a few laughs along the way. We call it The Flint Connection.

Michael A welcomes Stephen, James, Ryan and Mark, the four former members of one of Flint's most unique and beloved bands, May/June.

The Flint Connection Podcast - Fernando Silverio Solis

Michael A sits down with singer/songwriter/cringe video creator Fernando Silverio Solis, and they have a long and wide ranging conversation covering performing music in Flint, vegan coneys, vomiting frontmen, excessive volume, bad CGI, and most importantly, connection via art. Isn't that lovely? Full disclosure, there is a low level echo in the background of the interview. It comes and goes. Hopefully it isn't too distracting, it's a really enjoyable conversation. I'm still learning how to do this stuff, my apologies.

The Flint Connection Podcast - Ice Halo

The three old punks in acoustic trio Ice Halo are from Fenton and Grand Blanc, but the city of Flint is crucial to their story...and a lot of their jokes. John, Lee and Steve join Michael A for a few songs and some rambling conversation about Ice Halo, long running punk rock band the Guilty Bystanders, Flint (of course) and whether Slim Chipley was a real person.
