Part-Time Rockstar Podcast

Episode 206: Kruiser - Liam & Mikey (Hard Rock) [Columbia, MD]

Episode 206 features Liam & Mikey of Kruiser who are a hard rock band originally from Hartford County, MD. They have a new song out called “Take You For A Ride”  which I featured on this episode. I would describe their sound as a bit throwback to 80’s hair metal. Although they definitely add some modern elements. In our conversation we talked about the new music that they’ve been making and the cities they’ve been playing lately. Kruiser has made it down to Nashville to play as well as up to NYC the other weekend. The guys are still fairly young and have a lot of good years ahead them as a band so be on the look out for good things to come. Thanks for listening and supporting local music. You can find the podcast on all the socials.

Episode 202 features Stephen of Truly Strings Guitar Shop. He is a local luthier based out of Laurel, MD and has been the O.G. sponsor of this show. I’ve wanted to get him on the pod for a long time and we finally made it happen. He’s got a cool story behind how he got into working on guitars and we also talked some of the other things he’s into such as Yoga, songwirting, and “finding the muse.” I featured two live recorded acoustic tunes that Stephen played after the conversation. The first one you’ll hear is called “Stone Cold” and the one at the end, which we touched on in the interview, is called “Friday Night.” As I say every episode, I take all my guitars to Stephen and if your guitars ever need some attention you can email him at stephen@trulystringsandthings.com and he’ll get back to you quick. You can also find Truly Strings on Instagram and Facebook. Thanks again for supporting local art, music, and business.

Episode 200! features my longtime friends the LJR (Luke Roberts), the DJR (Daniel Roberts), The Slang (John & Felix), and my brother Dylan. All former guests of the show. We had a fun round table discussion/celebration of 200 episodes and talked about all the things we’ve been up to collectively. We spent a fair amount of time roasting each other as well as talking about some of our general philosophies everything from pop culture to music. LJR & DJR has been playing a lot of shows lately, The Slang have been releasing new music, and Dylan and I we’re able to join forces on an episode again for the first time since episode 3. Anyway I just want to say thanks for everyone who’s listened to an episode over the last few years and also thank everyone for supporting local music in general, which despite our banter, is what this podcast is all about. On this episode I featured my band’s new track “Gimme Back My Guitars” by The Hollow Truths and at the end I featured “More Time” by LJR.
