Episode #9 - Smoking Stuff

We're celebrating Easter in Bulgaria, but this show is going to be anything but Godly, we have a noise rock extravaganza planned with Ed Fraser from Heads. who are at the forefront of what's up with noise rock scene in Europe.

We discuss Christian's take on rock music, his newly discovered interests in synthesisers, post-punk and desert roaming.

Our guest is JJ Koczan from The Obelisk who we got to talk about staying curious about music from around the world, his involvement in the 1000mods North American tour, being a dad and what's up in the worldwide underground stoner community.

Martin and Maksim leave you with almost 2 hours of what's hot and what you would consider not from the rifftastic world of European bands that you'd like to share a beer with.

We don't like stuff. We love music. Let us correct that. We LEUVEN music. Really funny episode with a a lot of great European gems with a pretty dominant presence of Leuven, Belgium! Martin asks Maksim how does it feel to try and book a European tour.

The latests notable releases from the European rock underground. The second half of the show we showcase the roster of the beautiful Swedish label @The Sign Records for some amazing 70's inspired heavy metal goodness.

We pay our respect to Boris "Brodnik" Nikolov from the Bulgarian doom band Upyr who passed away recently. May you rest in power, brother. We continue with a selection of the most interesting bands around.

After their respective European Rawk trips, Maksim & Martin are back tonight with a top-notch guest in the face of Mr. Balazs Pandi, also known as 666 Cent (according to Wikipedia) and one of Europe's most prolific noise/free noise drummers.

Peter Pires is co-owner and head of A&R for the Swiss based label - Elusive Sound, which is dedicated to supporting bands in creating musical artifacts. In short, Elusive Sound is basically every post-rock vinyl junkie’s wet dream.

We babble about artwork and we create a new show segment - Iron Curtain Blues. Great music and talk with Costin Chioreanu - the brains and the hands behind the artwork for bands like Mayhem, Arch Enemy, Opeth among many others.
