PODCAST #94 KEN Mode


KEN Mode has been absolutely killing it for a helluva long time (let Jesse give you the timeline, he's always spot on) and I've been following them since hearing 'Entrench' back in 2013. Actually, my first video interview was with the band in 2013 (linked here) in Hamilton, and again in 2019 (linked here) as a written interview. Off the heels of 2018's 'Loved' comes 'Null', a new 12"LP releasing on September 23rd, 2022 with a brand new single already out, embedded below. We discussed a lot about the band's history, the lead-up to 'Null', even the album after 'Null'! More things discussed: fun intros, best and worst Nirvana albums, deep-diving pre-internet, Columbia House cassette christmas, Black Sabbath influence, Evil Dead and the underground, a history pre-Scott, getting signed to Escape Artist, booking agent woes, Green Jelly, myspace connections, Scott's a screamo fan and he doesn't know it, what are death metal vocals?, etc. Bands played in this podcast: Aeviterne, Evil Dead: The Musical, Henrietta Collins & the Wifebeating Childhaters, Jenny Piccolo, Nhomme, O, Shortparis, and Some Girls. Listen to podcast #94 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.
