Goddamn I've known Gus for about a decade at this point, and with OSTRACA playing ZBR Fest 2026 and then releasing a new full length the next month, this podcast was a no-brainer. I had spoken with Gus, Brian, and John as a full band back in 2017 (video interview linked here) but I wanted to pick his brain, specifically. You can check out a podcast that I did with drummer John by clicking on this text. Some things we touched on: Weird Al and our favourite UHF scenes, at time when Gus could not be outskanked, Gus' Red Hot Chilli Peppers cover band, a fallow period for the screamo genre, the June Paik effect, Black Metal and Medieval Associations 101, "big" vs. "meaningful", the Zach Hill school of drumming, the lowdown on 'Thread', recording and songs that aren't meant to be played live, album release show, remember Horny Al?, etc. Bands played in this podcast: A Recorded Dawn, Gregor Samsa, I.O., Mercy Necromancy, Peter Rehberg feat. Dennis Cooper, and Sangre De Muerdago. Listen to podcast #198 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.
