This month we talk to Snowpiler! Nick, Adam and Sean!
We talk about music we’re listening to of course. We talk about the journey that led to this incarnation of the band and all the other bands that each member is in (it’s more than 3 that’s for sure). We veer off in different musical directions and have a good time in conversation. Check it out!

It’s episode 100! We thought we should do something special! It’s also coincidentally April 1st (April Fools Day) and while we’re not big on lying and calling that a joke we thought this would be a fun twist! So, here’s this! We’ve had a lot of guests on the show (over 100! Some episodes have multiple guests.)! However, we’ve never been guests ourselves! So, here we are!
Anthony leads a fun interview with us (Rick & Josh) about the store! We talk about how we met. We talk about Record Store Day (check out the details for this year’s event here). We talk about music! We have fun! Check it out!

Zach Fontanez and his family run a coffee shop and sober bar in Meriden that holds events ranging from a silent book club to hardcore shows. He’s also been in and continues to be in a bunch of bands. We thought all that was a great reason to get him on the podcast to talk primarily about Grace’s Place which fills a void in the lack of all-ages venues in the area.
We told Matt from Killer Kin that Zach was going to be on and Matt then wrote this up about him:
Zach Fontanez is one of the most prolific, energy-filled, altruistic rockers to ever grace the Connecticut music scene. With a taste palette that spans all mutations beneath the rock ‘n roll umbrella, this Punk’s voracious appetite for creation germinates a scene and show setting rife with electric elation. A member of groups such as: The Human Fund, Minor Inconveniences, HATERS, and many more notable projects, Fontanez can be seen behind the kit, in your face with screaming into a Shure SM58, or swinging his stud-clad wrists in front of your favorite stage. Fontanez is a paragon of Raw-Powered positivity, patience, and the DIY dreams that most wish they could live.
Austin helms the project All the Pretty Horses and plays in a variety of bands (with a few folks who’d previously been on the podcast in fact!).
This conversation went off in all kinds of directions. We talk about Hit Clips, Danzig, winter weather, audio scrobbling and music too!
