This week, we're scratching The Itch for a homecoming! Itch guests Dorothy [https://dorothyonfire.com/] and her guitarist, our fellow St Louisian Sam Bam Koltun [https://www.instagram.com/sambamkoltun/?hl=en], played at The Hawthorn [https://www.thehawthornstl.com/] with Cory Marks [https://www.corymarks.com/], and The Itch had to be there! After dropping The Itch's Album of the Year, Gifts From the Holy Ghost, in 2022, Dorothy just released her follow up, The Way, which adds a bit of outlaw country flare to her rock stylings. Meanwhile, Sam Bam recently added yet another band to his resume by playing a European tour with Godsmack. Plus, Dan looks on the bright side and people state the obvious to KC. Enjoy.

It's our podcast anniversary and this month we're scratching The Itch to celebrate! The Itch Rock Podcast debuted on May 9th, 2020, originally under the name "Rock Matters". What started as a replacement for our radio show when lockdown closed the station has now become a 5-year journey that's taken us across the country, the podcast world, and even into international waters all in the name of rock. Now, 300+ audio offerings (including 100+ artist interviews) later, we're going strong on our longest weekly interview streak to date. We'll be celebrating this month by bringing back some of our favorite guests and seeing many more in concert. To start the party, we're combining two features that were staples of our earlier shows but have become less frequent as we've focused on talking with our favorite artists: Short Cuts and games. This not-quite-a-full-episode bit was recorded shortly after our conversation with John Cooper of Skillet, when Aaron went down a deep, dorky rabbit whole of bands you could find in the kitchen. Enjoy our tastiest Short Cut, dubbed "The Music Menu", and let us know what delicious dishes you would add! If you like what you hear, you can hear more of us every Sunday night broadcasting rock to the masses from 6-9pm CST on KCLC-FM.

This week, we're scratching The Itch for honesty! Han Mee and Jim Shaw of Hot Milk [https://hotmilk.co.uk/] join us for a refreshingly candid conversation about their new album Corporation P.O.P [https://hotmilk.lnk.to/CorporationPOP] (out June 27th) and the ideas surrounding it, including shedding an ill-fitting "pop punk" tag, writing quickly to capture the moment, English identity, and American insanity. Plus, a dodgy opening scene, an Anchorman joke, and Dan's family responsibilities strike again. This is a good one. Enjoy.

This week, we're scratching The Itch to get with The Program [https://linktr.ee/BRKNLOVEMUSIC]! BRKN LOVE [https://www.brkn-love.com/] just dropped an excellent album by that name, and we talked all about it with frontman Justin Benlolo [https://www.instagram.com/justinbenlolo/?hl=en]. We discuss the recording and release rollout differences from their prior records, worrying less about how a studio recording will translate on stage, and how in relationships, we're often the ones hurting ourselves. Then The Itch gets further context about BRKN LOVE's memorable Shiprocked 2024 performance and Justin reveals the album to bury him with. Plus, a surprising genre tag, the allure of Charleston, South Carolina, and the Michael Jackson song that absolutely sucks. Enjoy.

This week, we're scratching The Itch to bloom! Aaron had quite an unusual adventure seeing Superbloom [https://linktr.ee/superbloomnyc] and Footballhead [https://linktr.ee/footballheadchi] at the Cobra Lounge [https://cobralounge.com/] in Chicago, so we had to discuss the oddities of the evening and how he might be the ultimate anti-wingman. But also, bands! Superbloom is a standout in the 90s rock revival, and Footballhead had the right energy to make a good first impression. Enjoy a brief interruption of our interview streak for a quick reminder that live shows are the best!
