Halfway Through the Week with Ash Fault Jungle and Berlos Band's New Release, Mr. Trouble
Ever wondered how a music project evolves from a simple conversation to a full-fledged EP? I'll share the intriguing journey of "Destination Unknown," born from my December discussions with John Lloyd of Superposition. From the creative sparks that led to key collaborations with Sarah C Douglas and Peter Calvert, to the quirky moments like writing a song on a hamburger bag during a car trip, this segment is filled with personal anecdotes and the challenges of maintaining a prolific output inspired by Kiss. You’ll hear about how Sarah's serendipitous addition to the project brought a unique flavor to the music.
Finally, we go behind the curtain of the "Let Your Hair Down Power Hour" radio show, revealing our meticulous process of curating each episode to support indie artists. Hear the heartwarming stories of our Asphalt Jungle fan contest winners and celebrate milestones like Laurie Samuelson's song "In the End" gaining airplay at Roxanne's. Reflecting on our journey from a small podcast to a sought-after platform for indie artists, this episode is a heartfelt tribute to the dedicated fans and passionate creators in the indie music community.

Speaker 2:I'm telling you, it was like holy crap. I'm like what is this week? And I was trying to think. I have no idea if there's any rhyme or reason, but you're right, there's a lot of releases this week.
Speaker 2:I know, I keep seeing it and I'm like you know, I planned mine three months ago and it's like no, I'm like all right, all right, but, um, yeah, I had for steven, yeah, we had to share the share tonight with him, absolutely because it's a great song. Um, you got to go hang out. Go hang out in the burlap bar, but for now let's hang out in the jungle. All right, there we go. All right, see you, stevens. Holy crap, you've got so much going. I don't know where to begin with you. Let's begin with the EP Destination Unknown Congratulations. I can't wait for everybody else to be able to listen to it all at one time. On Friday, june 14th, is the release. So where did this project all start? How did this project all start?
Speaker 5:Where did this project all start? Well, oh boy. So back in December I was working with a guy named John Lloyd from Superposition and we were talking about doing all this stuff, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and I didn't know which direction I wanted to take. Asphalt jungle music Uh, if you look at my catalog right now, uh, I've kind of not really all over the place, but I kind of am. You know, um, what you know, one minute I'm doing, you know, straight up rock. Next minute I'm doing some harder, harder, harder edge rock. And then I'm you know, and then I'm you know, and then I'm doing a blues song. And I'm doing, you know, and I was like you know, I I got that's all fine and dandy, but you know, I want to steer it in a certain direction, okay and um, so, destination unknown the title just came out, you know, and we had this plan, all blah, blah, blah, and it was going to be, uh, basically it was going to be nothing but guest musicians.
Speaker 5:But things fell apart, things went their own direction and things like that people got bit, people got busy and I just decided to pull back on because it was going to be a full-length album and, um, I just decided, okay, uh, you know, you know I need a break.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 5:Because last year was really busy for me, right? Well, I mean, I put out let's see 28 songs last year, starting in May, wow. And right now my catalog is at what 30?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:So I was really busy. I was doing the Kiss thing where you know a lot of Kiss fans will know what I'm really busy. I was doing the Kiss thing, where a lot of Kiss fans will know what I'm talking about. When Kiss first started out in the 70s even when they did break, they stuck to this regimen. They put out an album almost every six months to nine months Most bands two years. Kiss did this thing like flood the market and keep your stuff in people's eyes.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 5:I thought you know this is a great idea. So last year I was putting out two, sometimes three, releases a month.
Speaker 2:That's crazy.
Speaker 5:And it was, and I almost got burnt out Again. I took the time off, focused on certain songs and things and, of course, for Now was one of the newer ones that got written, and she Moves was a song written two years ago. Had it on the back burner and I probably should pay is a very old song. I wrote it in the 90s. Um, yeah and uh, tears are falling is the most newest one. I wrote that in february I think oh, wow so.
Speaker 5:But the album, what it ended up being, was my very good friend, sarah C Douglas, over there in England. She has collaborated with me before on Voices, carried by Till Tuesday, and Peter Calvert, her guitar player and producer. You know, that's how I got to know Sarah. We belong to a group called Mixcraft and that's what they call the DAW, the recording software that we use and it's a private group. You've got to show your license for your DAW to even join this group. Really, that's kind of cool, yeah, but we all in there are talking to each other saying, no, you need to do this, you need to do that. Well, I latched on to Peter because I just think he's a great producer, a great guitar player too, very bluesy, but I just love his producing style and him and Sarah their band is called Sarah and the Others.
Speaker 5:They were doing a rendition of Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton and he was like I got all this hiss and blah, blah, blah, blah, I can't get it out of there. And he posted this in the Facebook group and I was the first one and I kind of grabbed it and downloaded it and put it through my system and I cleaned it up. I said here's what I did and I posted it back to him. He was like that's brilliant, mate, you know. And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, well, here's the settings I use, here's what I use blah, blah, blah. And the funny thing is he's got this crystal clear sound and I've always had this muddy sound and here I cleaned his stuff up, but can't clean my own stuff up. Oh my God, it's like right. So that was kind of funny. But at the same time I asked him who the hell was that singer?
Speaker 5:And he said well, that's my girl, Sarah. I said do you think she'd be open for a collaboration? Well, what it was was I heard her singing this Wonderful Tonight song and I thought of this original that I've had for 30 years. Right, and it's my, it's my baby, it's. It's one that I, I just always loved. I wrote it in a matter of five, ten minutes, traveling down the road in a car so I had to pull over at a rest area to write stuff down on.
Speaker 5:On a uh, on a uh napkin not not a nap, but the bag that the hamburger came in. But I don't when I write music. I get a riff in my head and I lay it down and I put a simple drum beat to it and then I come back to it and I start dissecting it. Well, this is one of those songs where I actually wrote the chords on the paper bag and the lyrics.
Speaker 5:I don't do that a lot. I can't read, I don't read music, yeah. So here I am writing these chords down, and not just basic chords either. I'm like, okay, this is going to be a D, sustained two, blah, blah, blah. Things like that. I know that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:I a D sustained too.
Speaker 5:Blah, blah, blah, Things like that. I know that kind of stuff, so I'm writing all this down, and so the song is Southern. Grace and it's about being on the road and being away from the people that you love, and I've been playing with this song, playing with this song, playing with this song for 30 years now. And my voice, Sarah, said it was great, but I'm sorry. I always felt like it needed something more and the moment I heard Sarah singing Wonderful Tonight, I thought there's.
Speaker 2:There's the voice there's the voice I've been looking for.
Speaker 5:Well, I didn't want to throw this original at her, so I threw Voices of Carrie at her and she's like I don't really do rock, I don't know if I can do this. I said, trust me, you can do this, because at the same time I you know, I had this all laid out and I know I wasn't gonna sing it I would have trashed it.
Speaker 5:No, uh. So we did that and we had a lot of fun doing it. Well then, I presented her southern grace and she fell in love with the song. Oh my god, I love these lyrics.
Speaker 5:She goes this, and she was in love with the song immediately oh man, oh my God, I love these lyrics. She goes, this is. And she was like wow, this is not like you, this is a departure. She goes, but I can hear you in there. She goes, I can hear you. She goes, but this is different. And lo and behold, she got sick last year, and so that put everything on the back burner. And then, coming back around, everything that happened in december, uh, she finally reached out to me. She goes, I'm on the mend, I am ready to jump back in.
Speaker 2:Let's do this. Oh my god she goes.
Speaker 5:I need this. I need this to therapy, you know therapeutic and all this stuff. I'm like, let's do it girl and um, so then I decided okay, you're still going to use the title Destination Unknown, but I'm going to build this, this EP, around this song I love it and this and I do.
Speaker 2:I love this song. This is probably. This probably is my favorite on the EP.
Speaker 5:Thank you, thank you, I I I mean, it actually was inspired by this. What's so crazy? It's inspired by, uh, a britney fox song, which is a hair metal band. Um, oh my god, I just forgot the name of the song.
Speaker 2:Um you've been hanging around me too long it's it's also well.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's also talking about being on the road right and it was just the melody of it and I was like, ooh, I've got to write a song, I'd love to write a song like that. And so and behold, I'm listening to that song in that car ride going back home, going back to Jacksonville. I just got done visiting Mom and Dad in Spartanburg, south Carolina, and then here we are. So Sarah says you don't mind me tweaking it. I said no, you've got carte blanche. I'm usually like that. When it comes to collaborations, I'm open. I'm open to ideas because you know, sometimes somebody will interpret things better than you interpret them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, of course, yeah.
Speaker 5:And she did, she laid all these vocals, she did the main vocal track, and then she sent it to me and she's like hi, what do you think of this? I said, oh, this is great. She's like well, I got one more thing. And then she threw these background vocals at me and I was like Whoa, she had all these like special harmonies. And then the part in the originally laid out like that, so um, yeah.
Speaker 5:So then you know, I'm sitting there listening to these lyrics, the vocals, I'm going oh god, and I'm getting goosebumps, you know right and then then I throw it into the system and just start chopping it up and playing with it and taking her harmonies, putting them, putting a little blurb here here, here, you know, taking it out here, all that kind of stuff that a producer crazy and I sent it back.
Speaker 5:There she goes, oh my god, because she was even like wow, that's pretty cool and the great, the great thing is I, she's like you, you know, if you want to sing this with me. And I thought, and I did, I thought this would be kind of cool to do, like a kenny rogers, dolly parton type thing, you know, right, right, uh, uh, you know, islands in the stream, I think is the name of the song, you know. But I thought about it and I did, I did a couple and it sounded good, but I felt it, the song breathe so I thought, no, this, this song.
Speaker 5:I said that's it. I'll harmonize with her. That's about it, you know, and I had a blast harmonizing with her. I really did. Here's the cool thing about Southern Graces. Normally when I do because I do everything when it comes to my songs I do do a lot of the backups through a harmonizer, a voice harmonizer.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 5:But a lot of times what I'll do is to make it sound more real. Is I'll go back and emulate what the harmonizer put out on top of that? Sometimes I can't because I just don't have all those ranges, but Southern Grace is the only song other than Tears Are Falling.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow.
Speaker 5:Tears. Are. Falling. Uh, all that is real vocals. Wow, background and all. So, yeah, so southern grace was what got me going that way. Uh, and now it has taught me a lesson that I can use the harmonizer as a tool, but don't use it in the recordings. Try to emulate them and pull those back out. And that's what I've been doing lately, so I'm proud that Southern Grace happened this way.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, this is a great song, so I think we have to listen to it. Oh look, I just happened to have it loaded. Ladies and gentlemen, southern Grace Ashfall Jungle featuring Sarah C Douglas and and C Stevens, and I will be back.
Speaker 3:I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm. Look in the mirror, the miles behind you. I still got a long way to go. I'm holding my arms. I still got a long way to go. I'm holding my arms close and highly. Sometimes I feel I'm on my own, but I bet there's someone special. It's so much special On my highway. I'm coming back home. You feel the sun rise, hit you coming back From all that happened. It's so much special, no more special. I'm trying hard To see my baby, but it's just Sometimes. They seem to grow. I'm heading down Through the valley. I just want my baby Safe and warm Out there. There's someone special. We'll be right back On the highway. I'm coming back home. You feel something worse Keeps you coming back From what happened. It's someone special On the highway I'm coming back home. You feel the sun rise Keeps you coming back for more. Nothing is someone special.
Speaker 2:I'm on the highway On the highway, I'm on the highway nowhere, I'm on the highway, nowhere On the highway, nowhere. And I am back with C Stevens of Asphalt Jungle and we have been talking about his new EP, that's right. Destination, unknown, being released Friday June 14th. C Stevens, I do love Southern Grace and Sarah's voice is really. I mean. You complement each other so well on this song.
Speaker 5:Yeah, that ending part, she that's. She told me that she fell in love with that because the ending part where we uh, you know, sing back and forth to each other, she's not in my part and I'm not in hers, you know and she loved that that I did that because at first you know I had all the levels down. She's like I can't hear you, you need to pull yourself up.
Speaker 5:I gotcha yeah, and she was. You know, I was just. You know I'm not a great singer. I know I'm not. You know, I'm not afraid to say it. You know I get by. Uh, I am a guitar player oh yes, you are through and through um. But you know, um, yeah, that was one song, that um. Everything came natural.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I think from that everything just fell into place for you on this EP. It just really worked so well.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I mean I'm happy with every song on there. My favorite one is Tears Are Falling, I think because it's so new too.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Because it's got that hair metal type of feel to it it's true, true, yeah, she moves. I do like the message in that one. That was a fun one to do and they always are when they're two, three chords. But it just goes to show you you know two, three chords can make a song what it is.
Speaker 2:That's funny. You should say that because, stephen, when I was interviewing him, I said something about you know that I was self-teaching myself the guitar and I said I'm up to like four chords. He goes you're good, run with it.
Speaker 5:It's like OK, there you go. Seriously, you know, and that's true, I mean, keep it simple, stupid. You know, it rings true in music. It really does Too much, too much in music, and I don't care what platform it is country rap, hip hop, metal, whatever. They're trying to get too intricate with stuff.
Speaker 4:And.
Speaker 5:I get why you want to do that, but on every song, come on, you got to let stuff breathe. That's my opinion. Want to do that, but on every song, come on, you've got to let stuff breathe. That's my opinion. I like that. I'm not trying to piss anybody off.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. Oh my gosh, so what else?
Speaker 5:Go ahead. I was the same way. Oh, let's put this breakdown here. Oh, let's invert this. No, keep it simple. When you're a singer like me, with a not so great voice, you've got to keep it simple.
Speaker 2:I know, but somehow you make it all work, that raspy voice in that guitar, just mmm Speaking of that raspy voice.
Speaker 5:So me and Candy Rocks from Miss Hyde and the Wild Side, we just finished writing. We haven't really recorded, but we just finished writing a song and it's well. It's a dirty song, kind of Well. The title of it is Tainted in Shame.
Speaker 2:Okay, tainted in Shame, okay, I like it.
Speaker 5:Candy wrote all the lyrics except for the chorus. I wrote the chorus always have, have, have had the chorus there, but it's about uh, the verses are from you know, uh, well, they're from a guy's point of view, but it's about a stripper on stage. Okay, now let me elaborate what the and then the chorus turns around to the girl thinking about the, the guy sitting there at the stage throwing money at her. Um, so basically it's talking about the guy Like, okay, don't you have anything better to do than be here six, seven days a week throwing money at these girls? That's basically what the song's about. But we did it that way because of how raunchy the song sounded in the first place.
Speaker 3:All right.
Speaker 5:So yeah, all candy, stay tuned for right.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, all candy, stay tuned for that. Hey, listen, you know you got to take it to different places sometimes, so why not? Why not the strip joints?
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, and we'll be bringing up strip joints again here in a little bit when we talk about the CD giveaways, right, oh?
Speaker 2:Lord.
Speaker 5:But me and Kurt from Crypt13 are really starting to get serious about what we're going to do. We're going to do something together.
Speaker 2:I'm excited about that too.
Speaker 5:We're throwing some ideas around. He is working on another song right now. Oh God, if he gets this done it's going to be great. I can't let anything else out of the bag on it. Somebody who is very well known to this show is also collaborating with him on it. So that's all I'm going to say. I haven't sworn to secrecy.
Speaker 2:We'll talk off air.
Speaker 5:I can't. I swore I would not let anybody know. I really didn't. It's in writing.
Speaker 2:It's in the messenger on Facebook. That's funny.
Speaker 5:So he's got legal recourse on me.
Speaker 2:Oh man, so intriguing. Now I really have to find out. Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 5:I am working on a couple more covers, but going forward, most definitely my covers are not going to be covers, they're going to be remakes, kind of visiting america, where they're going to be my interpretation on the song so uh, yeah, um yeah. I don't want to let anything else out on that this is one that I'm working on.
Speaker 5:it's going to be like everybody's going to be I hope they're going to be like whoa. So yeah, then we are still trying to get the other project off the ground again with Candy, me, kurt and Candy on that, we Care A Lot song that was originally done by Faith, no More.
Speaker 3:Oh, wow.
Speaker 5:So that's the other thing it's going, that's going on musically oh, that's great, that is really great oh and, of course, you know the other one I am looking for lead singer. By the way, anybody out there that wants to take this one on there?
Speaker 2:you go.
Speaker 5:Um, I have and deb has heard the uh, the, the finished product. I have a song that's completely done, but I need I need a vocalist for it and anybody who thinks they can do Jefferson Starship. Find your Way Back. Please reach out to me or Deb. I would love to work with you on it. It's in the original key, it's in the original timing. It's just that song needed to be left alone the way it was. I just wanted to do a version of it and bring it more to today's sound.
Speaker 2:And bring it up. That's what I wanted to do. Oh my God, yeah, so, yeah. So I have listened to it and, yeah, I can't wait to. I can't wait to find the right vocals for that song, because that will be amazing.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That was a labor of pure love.
Speaker 5:I had a blast recording every piece of instrument on that, you know, the piano, the, the synthesizers, the guitars, the drums, the bass, even the tambourine. I had to sit there and play a tambourine, um yeah. So I did everything. And those back, I'm so happy. Again those vocals, that's all me. So you know, again I ran it through the harmonizer generator and said yeah, and then I had to sit there and lay each vocal in.
Speaker 2:And some of them were hard.
Speaker 5:I was like holy crap and I had to actually use the, which I hate doing this, but I got to start doing it, which I hate doing this, but I got to start doing it. Melodyne is a program that's out there that it doesn't allow you to stretch your voice like some of these programs do. It just helps you. It'll help you tweak it and you know, like, say, if you go, you got a melody that's supposed to go A G E and you go A G E flat by accident, you can tweak that portion of that voice to E and it fixes it and it doesn't sound like it's been fixed.
Speaker 2:I think this is so. It's so crazy what you can do now in a studio and all that you have at your fingertips to use when you're recording and laying down tracks and everything. It's just amazing. I've got to find a local studio here just to go in and play around with it.
Speaker 5:Well, you know, I didn't want to have to ever use that stuff, but I learned it's got to be done. You know, if you want it to sound right Again, you go back to some of my catalog. Ooh, I got some flat spots in there, you know. But I left them in there because to me it's like you know what it shows you that it's real.
Speaker 2:It is Absolutely. Oh, you're absolutely right. Oh my gosh, you've got a lot going on, so I'm going to take a break. We're going to take a music break and when we come back we've got something we've got to like. You know, I'm not going to give that away either, but don't go anywhere, people. We'll be back. We might be giving something away, but all right, we'll be right back guitar solo.
Speaker 3:She said come over, I can't stand feeling sober. We could score a little something to get out of our minds. But I don't want to be another Regret because you needed a lover To get you through the night, Cause it helps to forget. It's not about you, it's not about me. It's not about you, it's not about me. It's not about you. It's not about me. It's not about you, it's not about me. I call to say I'm sorry and that you shouldn't worry. It's hard to find any comfort when you're on the edge. You know I can't come over To watch you pass out on the sofa. Don't throw your life away Like your last cigarette.
Speaker 2:Don't throw your life away. I'm in guitar solo. It's not about you, it's not about me. It's not about you. It's not about you. It's not about me. It's not about you. It's not about me. It's not about you. It's not about me. It's not about you. It's not about me. It's not about you. It's not about me. It's not about you. It's not about me. All right, welcome back. I'm Deb LaMotta. This is Halfway Through the Week and that was Dinky. It's not about you. I'm telling you Gavin's voice and the drummer and the guitarist oh my.
Speaker 2:God. So they have been reviewed by Melodic Harmony Reviews and I am in partnership with them and I will be interviewing them coming up next month, so stay tuned for that. All right, c Stevens, we are back and you have. You got more things that you've been working on, but I like this next one. Why don't you tell everybody what else you've been working on?
Speaker 5:Well, this next one. You wrote me into it, if we can. You know I don't mean it like it sounds, but no, I'm glad that you did. Yeah, every Friday night right here on Real to Real Broadcasting 9 pm Eastern, I got my own radio show for a whole hour called Let your Hair Down Power Hour, and I have been having a blast doing this.
Speaker 2:Oh my God. Well, you blew me away when you sent the email and said I've got something to run by you. What about you know? Listen to this? Blew me away when you sent the email and said I've got something to run by you. What about listen to this? Let me know what you think. And I was like holy crap, yeah.
Speaker 5:You know, I've been, I listen to you, I listen to the legendary Ron Kay and DJ Nordique, all that stuff. You know and I was like you know and you're. You know, when you play music by the indie artists, you're all over the place.
Speaker 5:Blues gospel you know, everything, and so and I told we had this conversation through text that, uh, that night, um, that I thought you guys need a hard rock show and I was like taking notes, and you like why don't you do it? And I was like I don't know, you know, but then I put together a test one and you fell in love with it. Oh, my. God, yeah, oh, my God.
Speaker 2:And I excuse me. So see, stephen sends me the file every Sunday morning and if you know me, I'm up at 5 o'clock every day having my coffee, so that's been a thing now. So I get the file Sunday mornings, I get to listen to it first, ha-ha with my coffee, and oh my God, you do such an amazing job. So you do. I mean, you have so much in that head as it is with all these bands and who's who and who's done what.
Speaker 5:So tell them what you do, just to do the show every week. I want to add something here. My ex used to tell me that I could put out a book called the most useless trivia that you ever need.
Speaker 2:There you go. It's like my fun facts I do.
Speaker 5:Right. So it's about music and you know, I mean I know things I should know, like who lost their pet poodle on what day, blah, blah, blah. You know I shouldn't know that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5:but I am a true fan of the music, I do, but yeah. So basically what I you know in the name let your hair down power hour. You know in the name let your hair down power hour. Yes, it's a, it's a nod to hair metal. I hate that term. I really do, because to me it's derogatory I mean just because the guys, just because the guys have long hair like I do, oh, it's hair metal and then people say, well, that's glam metal.
Speaker 5:No, it's not no no, but it is a part of it. It basically is just the 80s hard rock and metal that was coming out.
Speaker 2:That's all it was.
Speaker 5:Good music it was. It was good music, it was fun music, it was party music. And I've been missing hearing some of that stuff you know on the radio and even some of these podcast shows and stuff. I'm like damn man, I love the music that they're playing, but I'm like same thing every week. So when you gave me this opportunity I thought, okay, I can do something here. But then I did make one mental note I'm not going to play the top 10 song by that band. I'm not going to do it, you know, because you can go to any radio station and hear that song one time during the week. So to give you an example round and round by rats, how many times have we heard that song?
Speaker 2:Maybe a couple.
Speaker 5:Right, okay, smoking in the boys room by Motley Crue. How many times we heard that one, you know. So I was like, okay, I'm going to do deeper cuts and then I will play the hits by the bands that people might not know or might have forgotten about.
Speaker 2:That's why I like this Power Hour, because you have taken you know you have that niche now with exactly what you're saying, and it just puts a great twist on the whole show.
Speaker 5:Right so. But then it took a twist. I was like, oh, but I still want to do something for the indie people that I love so much. Exactly so I started listening, going back, looking at my playlist on yes, I'm going to say the bad word right now. Spotify, don't get me started on that one.
Speaker 2:we don't have enough time, that's another show I'm.
Speaker 5:I'm actually on the other side of the fence of everybody else, but anyways, um, but yeah, I went through my playlist and everything and I'm like you know what? There's a lot of bands here to have. You know, it's newer rock, it's newer hard rock that fits with some of that stuff from the 80s. I was like, oh yeah, yeah. So basically, like you said, what I do, okay, so what I do is I pick, and I've already got so many episodes, uh, you know already, you know laid out right so what I do is I I pick five independent bands, or generally unknown bands, who are assigned to independent labels right
Speaker 5:um, I research it and I go through their, their catalog. I go, okay, that song, that song gets me that, oh, I love this one. So I take the five independent songs and then I build around that the rest of the show with the mainstream artists. So like, uh, last week I did sit on six doing a great version of um, don't you forget about me, by some mind. Did did that and then was like you know what will fit right here april wine, boom, yeah, right, yeah, but I didn't. I pulled the april wine out. It's because it fit better on something that's coming up this week. It's things like that, it's things like that. So, yeah, so it starts with the independence. And you, you know I had mentioned, we had talked about this, and you know there have been a couple of bands that submitted stuff to me.
Speaker 5:But right now I'm not taking submissions and and there's a reason for it- right um, this is music that grabs me and I hope that it grabs you, but also, at the same time, when I'm doing all this research, um and and stuff like that, and then the song that gets played on the on this Friday night from an independent band, it's one that I have downloaded. I have purchased it or downloaded it in some capacity, so there's a little bit giving back to that independent community in that way a little bit of support there.
Speaker 5:But at the same time, when I'm sitting there researching these guys, I'm listening to that whole catalog. That's a stream for you. So that's how I do it. I do a lot of research and then I go to the band's webpage, if they have one, and then I pull the information from there. I might give out some future release dates or concert dates or whatever they're doing release dates or concert dates or whatever they're doing. But the other reason I'm not taking submissions is I don't want to be that guy that says no, I, I can't play this on my show I don't want to do that.
Speaker 5:Right, right, right yeah, there's enough rejection out there right now and I don't want to be a part of it I hear you and what they send me still might grab me. But I'm like, well, it doesn't fit with van halen or it doesn't fit with Motley Crue, it fits with a Van Sevenfold. I'm not going to be playing that on the show, right, right. So I apologize ahead of time to anybody for that. Right.
Speaker 5:Because, like I said, this show is to show you what gets me going, and I'm hoping that it gets you going too at the same time.
Speaker 2:Absolutely, at five o'clock in the morning with my cup of coffee. You have done an amazing job Amazing. Thank you. Yeah, absolutely. We're so happy to have you at the R2RB as part of the family. Come out to Delaware, come party with us in August.
Speaker 5:Oh, speaking of that, you're getting a bunch of CDs for that, by the way.
Speaker 2:Well, so there's a couple of things going on. August 4th I am at the Wyoming Peach Festival with DJ Nora Deke and the Afterlife Paranormal. And yes, if you're listening to tonight's show, if you are an indie artist, if you would like to get in contact with me at info at r2rbcom, you can find me on Facebook at R2R Broadcasting. If you have anything you'd like to send me, as C Stevens is going to be sending me CDs to hand out at the festival here in and this is and Delaware is a big, big on their indie artists I will be more than happy to hand out anything you want to send me. So get in contact with me Then. Then DJ Nordique and I are having I'm sponsoring the Dance the Night Away with DJ Nordique. We're having a big party here in Delaware people.
Speaker 2:So if you're listening and want to invite, just reach out. So yeah, lots going on. If you're listening and want to invite, just reach out. So yeah, lots going on. So yeah, but this show Friday night. I mean, I was hoping you would do it, but when I heard the demo I was like holy shit, like where was all this? What else are you keeping a secret? Like amazing, amazing. So yeah, kudos to you.
Speaker 5:I have a blast doing that show because, like I said, it is fun putting it together because you know, you know, again, it's, you know, it's, you know it starts with the core of the five independent bands and I'm going to, I'm going to, you know, showcase that week, but then the songs that I pick, I'm going'm going. Man, I can remember listening to that, you know, and you know I get all these memories back because, again, it's stuff that I love and when I, when I listen to a band, I don't listen to the single, I listen to the whole album yeah, and the nine times out of ten.
Speaker 5:What makes it in top 40 for that band is not the one that I love off the album. Nine times out of ten. It's always been that way. There's always the deeper cuts that I love and I scratch my head and go why was this never released as?
Speaker 2:a single Right. It's crazy and I'm so glad you took the time to explain how you put the show together, because I think sometimes people will just say, well, why is he doing it that way? Or why doesn't he use my music? So, giving that explanation, which makes total sense when you hear it, and then when you go back to listen to the show and it just flows, oh my God, from start to finish, it's like holy crap.
Speaker 5:The funny thing is I know people probably saw some of the posts on Facebook and they go oh, he's playing Rat, he's playing Motley Crue, and they're probably thinking right away oh, he's probably playing, you know, smokin' in the Boys.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no people, nope, no people, nope, nope, nope. It's the deeper cuts, man. Yeah. And then again, you know, with having those indie artists once again to you know, take that into consideration and put five every week. So, yeah, absolutely love it. I'm so glad you thought of it and you're doing it. And yes, c Stevens is a permanent resident of R2RB. You heard it here first. Or train wrecks, that's it. We're known for our train wrecks. I'm like, yeah, so I, you know, before the show, you know, I don't know yesterday, this morning, we're always like last minute, like do you have any points that you want me to bring up that I don't know about? He goes, no, let the train wreck happen. I'm like, okay, let's go Toot toot.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's our little thing.
Speaker 2:It is. It is, oh my God, just really quick, because I like the story. How I met you was last year Last year, yeah, or the year before. I had just put out the post about you know who wants to talk about being an indie artist, and you and Michael Bate said, yeah, let's go. Like what the hell do I do? Like all right, and the rest is history. And Michael's been on the show several times and now look at you, I'm telling you, yeah, I know, it's awesome, really awesome. I'm so excited about the next. Well, let me ask you, is there anything else you want to talk about at the Let your Ear Power Hour?
Speaker 5:No, I mean, um, no. I mean I think I explained it all and, like I said, if you, you know, if you have listened to the show and you get what I'm doing, yeah then, yeah, go ahead and send me a song, right an mp3 song for me to listen to.
Speaker 5:Yeah, um, you know you can. You can do it two ways uh, asphalt jungle band at gmailcom. Or you can do it to the uh, it's called let your hair down power hour at gmail. But know this that again, the reason I really don't want the mp3 submission is because I'm not buying it. I'm not supporting you exactly I hear you.
Speaker 2:I hear you yep, uh.
Speaker 5:So that is but I will, I will take them. I will, yeah, know what the show is about before you send it in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, and I'm so glad that you were able to do that this evening. All right, I am excited about this next part. We got winners, we got winners. So go ahead, explain what we got, because I love it.
Speaker 5:Well, I put out a little contest for people to tell me what their favorite asphalt jungle song was, and I didn't constrain it to the originals. If you like how I did a cover song, that's fine. Or if the cover song isn't the reason but the original song is the reason because of some memory, that's fine. Or if the cover song isn't the reason, it but the original song is the reason because of some memory, that's fine too right um so and I said you know, uh, the, but you got to tell me what song and why you know.
Speaker 5:you got to give me a, why you can't just say, oh, it's great man, or uh, yeah, I like the guitar, lick in it. No, I'm, I'm sorry, and I did get some of those. I bet you did, but I wanted to hear from the fan themselves on again what grabs them, what drives them. And I got over 300 submissions.
Speaker 2:That is crazy.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I had a lot of great stories. It was hard to narrow down. It really was, and I would like to go ahead and uh, um, uh, give a shout out on these um real quick though. Uh well, I'll explain that when I get to the to the fourth one, that's fine all right, so uh, stacy pemberton from birmingham, alabama.
Speaker 5:She's our first winner. Uh, her favorite song was the donny ir Aaliyah song. Her memories of that song are actually. What's so funny is she used to live in Pennsylvania and she used to go to damn. She told me the name of it too, but it's Darien Lake. That's it, darien Lake, okay, and ride the roller coasters and everything, and that was one of the songs they would play. So that gave her a great memory. Wow, yep, our second giveaway is Jesse Cortez from Mesquite Texas, my boy, mesquite Texas, right outside of Dallas. His favorite song is who's to Blame, which is my original about the screw-ups with COVID. Wow, yeah, this third one. I'm happy that I get to give one away to this guy. You know him, I do. I am Marshall. I am Marshall from the Truth Music, north Canton, ohio. He has loved from day one the version of ACDC's. If you Want Blood, you've Got it.
Speaker 5:He even did a segment where have you seen where he does those barbecues, where he's cooking something and he's what music he's playing in the background. Well, I made it on one of those, so, and it was, if you want blood. So, wow, yeah, so, uh, I am marshall, you're getting one too. This next one is Carlos Esposito Gonzalez, from Monrovia, california. He's a huge Judas Priest fan and he loved the version of Metal Gods that me and Mike Abel did. Oh, cool, and that's where I want to stop, because Mike Abel is another guy that I met from that group, that I met, peter and Sarah in Gotcha, and, of course, me and Mike have collaborated on three songs already. We do stuff all the time together, cool, but yeah, so Carlos actually said he goes, dude, he goes. I thought that was a newer version or a bootleg version of the song. You almost sound like Rob Halford what a compliment to say to somebody, because Rob Halford is the man when it comes to vocals.
Speaker 5:And he's like you did a great job, and so, carlos, I mean come on man, you touched my heart, you really did. Believe it or not, I didn't have a problem singing that song.
Speaker 2:No, I don't understand.
Speaker 5:And last but not least, here comes the train wreck.
Speaker 2:Don't tell the train wreck. Nope, we're not going to tell the train wreck. Hold that thought we're going to break for a song, so this is Okay and then we're going to come back. All right, she moves asphalt jungle from the EP Destination Unknown. All right, don't go anywhere, because you will want to know who this last winner is, and we'll be back.
Speaker 3:Ha ha ha. We'll be right back Hanging ten with her friends. She'll always be there till the very end. Fun comes and comes, she doesn't care. All she wants is the way around Big town. Slow down, it's all the same. When the music plays, she can't hear the same. She's dreaming and she's dreaming. She likes her music, fast and slow. The type of girl that you wanna know, Living life to the edge. The only thing that can be said Sit down, stand up and move around. Everywhere you look, she's in your town. Slip and slide into the beat. This is the girl that you want to meet. She's dreaming and she's dreaming. She's free today and she's free today. She's free today and she'd breathe away.
Speaker 2:And welcome back. That was she Moves Asphalt Jungle's new EP coming out June 14th, this Friday, destination Unknown. See, stevens, I am enjoying all the music tonight, enjoying all about you and all the things you got going on. All right, so we're back, we are back. We're back to the CD giveaway. We've had one, two, three, four that we've already announced Stacey Pemberton, jesse Cortez I am Marshall, carlos Esposito Gonzales, and now the last one, last but not least, that's right, go ahead, let them know. Go right, go ahead, let them know. Go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 5:All right. So it's Laurie Samuelson from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, and I just made a milestone with her and you know a lot of. I'm going to say the story about it. But also, although you know, I don't know if any girls ever want this milestone, they might, but every guy does. And if you say you don't, you're full of it. So Lori Samuelson works at Roxanne's, a gentleman's club in Kitchener, and every night she gets up on stage to my song. In the End I made it. I finally made it.
Speaker 2:I can't with you.
Speaker 5:When you get your song played inside of a strip club. You've made it. I finally made it. I can't with you when you get your song played inside of a strip club.
Speaker 2:you've made it, I just can't, I'm done and, ladies and gentlemen, that's the train wreck. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry if I offended anybody with that, but I'm sorry.
Speaker 5:I'm sorry if I offend anybody with that, but I'm proud of that. I am proud of that because how many times, oh I better not, never mind I can see people unfollowing me right now it's like the man has gone off the edge. Oh my gosh, wow, but this is fantastic it is a run, it is a raunchy song and it is kind of talking about that kind of lifestyle. So I get it. Yeah, hey, hey, listen but I just thought that was so cool for her to be so honest, so honest about it and everything else and I was like taken aback too, because I was like, wow, that's kind of cool that you did that.
Speaker 5:So no, really, and I'm happy there were some really other good stories and stuff and I couldn't give all of these CDs. I wish I could have. Right, I couldn't give all of these CDs. I wish I could have.
Speaker 5:That's why everybody has to go buy these CDs, so you can give more away, right, but you know, on top of that, everybody's showing that how much they really do care about asphalt jungle music. Absolutely, it really warmed me and touched me. Um, you know, you see these numbers and you know, you, you pay attention to some of these numbers and but you shouldn't pay attention to them too much, right, uh, hard lesson I learned, because you can get uh fixated by them and, uh, it makes you go down avenues that you don't need to go down. But, um, I have questioned many times uh, you know, are these followers, you know, for, really, for me, and you guys, I told you all fans are the best.
Speaker 5:I'm sorry, I've said it before and I'll say it again because, um, because, yeah, I mean you guys ponied up, you listen to my music every day. Those numbers show and then when I put this contest out there, the numbers they went through the roof. That means, you know, showing that people were going back, going. Oh, I better listen to the rest of this stuff and see what I like. And it's just again. I can't thank you enough Again. The Asheville Jungle fans. Amazing I wouldn't be on this radio station, right now, if it wasn't for them.
Speaker 2:That's right, absolutely. The fans are. You know what drives you all the indie artists, I mean, without the fans, what do you got?
Speaker 5:Yeah, you don't have nothing and on top of it, I'm I'm not a touring band, I'm a one-man studio band. So even the love that I'm getting because you can't see me live or interact with me in a person-to-person state like you can with some of these other great bands out there um True, you know that also my heart, but at the same time, do this for you guys.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and we appreciate you. I know I appreciate you. You know from the first time that I heard your music. And coming all the way to today with Let your Hair Down, Power Hour, your new EP Destination Unknown, all the projects that you have coming up, you are doing something right.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I'm blessed. As Sintel would say I'm very blessed you are, that's right, sintel would absolutely.
Speaker 2:He'll be on the show. He'll be on this Sunday Out of the Attic. Oh my God, what another great guy, another great indie artist. I'm so, I am so honored. I'm always flattered that you know, because I just started out doing a little podcast on a little little network station before I started my own. Oh my gosh, over almost three years now, to where I am now.
Speaker 2:Where I have you, I have great indie artists, you know, now reaching out to me and saying, hey, can you spin this? Or hey, can I do an interview. It's like who, who, who with me. So I'm humbled and I'm very grateful to be able to sit down with you, find out all about Ashwalt, jungle and all the other indie artists that have come my way. So yeah, I mean your music is great. I love how you put spins on, you know, do your covers or your originals, and it is such a passion of yours you know that we've talked about that too. I mean all the indie artists. It has to be a passion for you all and when I get to talk to you or any of the others, it just comes flooding through you know you're all so grateful to your fans as well.
