When Christopher Patrick Gregory emailed me about releasing the self-titled BELTED SWEATER album I was skeptical. Then I heard the songs and I was beyond sold. The quirky, dancey, groovy, screamy, queer-positive glam skramz was something new I hadn't heard and didn't know I needed so desperately. I can't recommend that album enough (linked here). It was a no brainer to bring him on the podcast...and now here we are! A few things discussed: Playing in Belted Sweater/Littlest Viking/Gayt/Wizzrobe, changing screamo life patterns, skate punk revisitations, being a drum whore, playing Star Wars the card game incorrectly, denied getting into Canada, Belted Sweater writing process, an angry gay protest album, covered in fecal matter, fuck Trump, "glam skramz" is hard to say, thoughts on Billy Corgan, a warrior queer person fighting against the forces that be, etc. Bands played in this podcast: Heaven Through Violence, Lo-Fi-Fnk, Neggy Gemmy, Sleeping People, Spare Change, and Venus Twins. Listen to podcast #176 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.
