Cacophony Music Podcast - Obscure Music for Obscure People

Cacophony is BACK and what better way to blast season 4 off than with our pal Theo from London's finest synth punk band POWERPLANT? This multifaceted group has quickly become one of my favourite go to bands over the past year, melding synth punk, black metal, dungeon synth and Elder Scrolls references into one of the finest noise alloys I've heard in a while. Throughout the interview, Mr Zhykharyev and I discuss his musical journey, Powerplant, the band's debut album People In The Sun and how inflation has infuriatingly affected picture framing prices.  Thanks again for checking out this episode! Season 4 will be slightly more sporadic as I'm currently trying to figure out adult life and all it entails. Until next time..

On this episode of the Cacophony Music Podcast, my bandmate Tim and I got to interview local band and good friends Eyes to Argus. Being in your late 20s and early 30s is not easy and t [https://www.instagram.com/eyestoargus/?hl=en]his band is here to remind you just that. The Argus boys' music strikes up feelings which hit very close to home. Big life changes, preoccupying nostalgia, insecurity, constant comparison to your peers’ lives along with biting off more than you can chew are a few of the topics explored over the course of the album. As a fan and friend of the band since its infancy, I can confidently say that their sound has evolved to become more personal and refined than previous efforts, veering (ha) on a poppy, or indie shoegaze sound featuring sounds reminiscent of TTNG and American Football. Its warm sound is curated by nostalgic ambience which compliments the band’s exquisitely written music. This is captured by spotless production which allows the listener to experience the individual layers of all instruments and the dynamics of the 2 vocalists. Tune in to hear us talk about the origins of the band, their new album REROOT and other existential crises.

On this episode of the Cacophony Music Podcast, I got to speak with hardcore punk & grindcore pioneer Rob SIege! SIEGE, a hardcore punk outfit from Weymouth, Massachusetts is considered to have provided the essential building blocks necessary for erecting the dissonant grindcore megalith we have all come to know and love and it was a absolute honour to have Mr Williams on the show. Over the course of roughly an hour, we discuss SIEGE's history, Rob's musical journey, drumming on  Dunkin' Donuts' jelly buckets and.. DEVO?

On this episode of the Cacophony Music Podcast, my partner Althea and I got to interview one of our childhood heroes - Mr Josh Mancell! Many know him for scoring the popular Playstation video games Jak & Daxter and Crash Bandicoot, alongside classic TV shows such as Clifford The Big Red Dog! Over the course of roughly an hour, he gave us some insight on how he wrote these soundtracks,  working with Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh alongside discussing his musical journey and current projects! We might have also mentioned Kraftwerk a couple of times..  ONLYNOISEISREAL STAYOBSCURE Tracks featured in this episode: Josh Mancell - Fire Canyon CELL \ BORG - 7X Returning Josh Mancell's Links: Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/joshmancell [https://soundcloud.com/joshmancell] Bandcamp: https://joshmancell.bandcamp.com/ [https://joshmancell.bandcamp.com/] Official Website: http://www.joshmancell.com/about.html [http://www.joshmancell.com/about.html] CELL \ BORG Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cellborgmusic/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/cellborgmusic/?hl=en] Fuzzy Warbles Cassettes: https://fuzzywarbles.bandcamp.com/album/cell-borg-fw37 [https://fuzzywarbles.bandcamp.com/album/cell-borg-fw37] Exploding Flowers Bandcamp: https://explodingflowers.bandcamp.com/music [https://explodingflowers.bandcamp.com/music] Althea's Links: Personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/althea.formosa_pole_x/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/althea.formosa_pole_x/?hl=en] Althaerial Eclipse Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/althaerial_eclipse_/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/althaerial_eclipse_/?hl=en] Cacophony Podcast Links: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/CacophonyMusicPodcast13 [https://www.facebook.com/CacophonyMusicPodcast13] Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cacophonymusicpodcast/ [https://www.instagram.com/cacophonymusicpodcast/]
