#280 The Covid Tapes (Lee Dainton)
This week marks three years since the world went into lockdown following the global outbreak of COVID-19. I've been thinking about that strange and surreal time quite a bit recently, and now feels like the right time to share this series of interviews that I did during the first lockdown period for my supporters over on Patreon. I spent a whole month uploading a new episode every weekday, and for each episode I was joined by past podcast guests and friends of the show. We spoke about our mutual lockdown experiences and attempted to make sense of everything that was going on at that time, and each guest handpicked a five-song playlist to the end of the world, hence the name of the series: Soundtrack Apocalypse. I've renamed them The Covid Tapes here. I hope you enjoy this peculiar little trip down memory lane. It still feels like a bit of a dream/nightmare doesn't it?!? Thank "whoever" it's all over now. I'm very thankful to be working again. And I'm extremely grateful to everyone who supported me during this time, especially the Patreon crew without whom I never would've made it. Thank you. X

This conversation was actually recorded about a year ago, shortly before I took an extended break from the podcast, but now the show is back it's time to share it. Ken talks about growing up in Japan and supporting legends like Johnny Thunders & Michael Monroe in his old band The Dragons, before moving to America and joining The Bronx/Mariachi El Bronx. I've had the pleasure of touring with those guys many times over the last five years, and it's always a pleasure seeing and catching up with them.

Darrin also recalls the time he pissed all over the Sex Pistol's dressing room. It doesn't get wilder than that!

Welcome to my first ever full band podcast here on Life In The Stocks. And what an incredible band to feature as the first one...you wanted the best, you got the best...the hottest band in the world: KISS. This live interview with Eric Singer, Tommy Thayer, Gene Simmons & Paul Stanley was recorded onboard the eleventh annual Kiss Kruise, and it is without a doubt one of my favourite interviews to date. What a huge honour and a great pleasure it was to host this very special live Q&A. I can't thank Kiss, Doc McGhee & Sixthman enough for this once in a lifetime opportunity. See you all for Kiss Kruise XII I hope - I promise to leave the Alice Cooper t-shirt at home. ;)

Legendary music manager Doc McGhee joins me for this week's episode of Life In The Stocks and I could not be more pleased to share this episode with you, since Doc has been a dream guest of mine ever since I launched the podcast back in 2017. The only previous manager guest before this is Alan McGee (no relation), which was five years ago now, and it's great to finally welcome another key behind-the-scenes player onto the podcast. This conversation with Doc was recorded live on the Kiss Kruise last month - more on that in the next episode - and it's definitely one of my favourite podcasts to date. Doc is the real deal, and I can't thank him enough for this fantastic interview. I hope you enjoy it!

#252 Paddy Considine (Actor/Writer/Director/Riding The Low)
Life In The Stocks episodes are a little bit fewer and further between these days, and for the foreseeable future there won't be any regular podcasts. Instead, I'll be hosting the occasional live podcast event, and the audio from those shows will then be published as a podcast soon after.
This conversation has been a long time coming. And it's been well worth the wait, trust me.
It's my absolute pleasure to present Episode 252 of Life In The Stocks: the audio from My Evening with Paddy Considine on May 19th at the West Hampstead Arts Club in London.

After a three month hiatus, Life In The Stocks is BACK with a vengeance. But with a new twist. Season Four of the podcast will consist of 50 episodes all recorded in front of a live audience, because after five years and 250 episodes, I felt like it was time to switch things up. And we launch this new season and all new format to the show with the one and only Glen Matlock from the Sex Pistols, Rich Kids, Iggy Pop's band, the Faces, various other groups, and a solo artist in his own right.

#248 Marko DeSantis (Sugarcult/Bad Astronaut)
It's been a while since I've had anyone this chatty on the show. Marko is one hell of a talker. He's got stories for days. He's also a complete music geek, and his knowledge of early Californian punk rock is second to none. There's all kinds of fun stuff in this episode - if you like NOFX, Lagwagon, No Use For A Name, and that whole Fat Wreck Chords scene, you'll going to love it! We also talk about Sugarcult and the twentieth anniversary of their debut album, Start Static. Enjoy the show!

Welcome to the first podcast of 2022, and Episode 247 in total. My first guest of the year is Jim Lindberg from Pennywise who joins me to discuss a wide range of topics from the formation of Pennywise in Hermosa Beach and the local punk scene in that area, which gave the world bands like Black Flag, Circle Jerks & Descendents, to parenthood and his relationship with his father, The Other F Word documentary, Jim's new solo album, Songs From The Elkhorn Trail, Epitaph Records, coming up alongside bands like Rancid & The Offspring, his decision to leave Pennywise in 2010, and a whole lot more. It was a great chat - Jim is a lovely dude and a brilliant songwriter.

Welcome to the last Life In The Stocks episode of the 2021 with Rob "Blasko" Nicholson from Ozzy Osbourne's band & Zakk Sabbath. Blasko is also a music manager who looks after the likes of Clutch and Black Label Society, and he's previously played in Prong, Danzig, and Rob Zombie's band. We had a great talk about passion, ambition, drive, tenacity, humility, positivity, and his time working in/on all the aforementioned bands and projects. I'm still in the process of moving house at the moment, and all of my equipment is in boxes, so I'm going to take the rest of this year off to unpack my life, enjoy Christmas, and prepare for 2022. Who knows what the hell is going to happen then?!? Thank you for your ongoing support with this podcast.

#242 Laurent "Lags" Barnard (Gallows)
We have another UK guest joining us today for Episode 242 of Life In The Stocks. I've decided I need to show more home country love and feature more British guests on the podcast, continuing today with Laurent Barnard, aka Lags, from Gallows - one of the most formidable UK punk bands of the last two decades. The band's guitarist and primary songwriter joins me to discuss Gallows Mk 1 with Frank Carter, and Gallows Mk 2 with Wade McNeil, as he reveals the full story of the band from a group of young punks on the DIY local music scene in Watford to signing with a major label for one million pounds, Frank's departure, Wade replacing, where the band is at now, and the future of the group going forward. We squeeze in all kinds of other stuff along the way, too.

Something a little bit different this week...I don't feature as many industry / behind the scenes guests as I'd like to on Life In The Stocks, but I always enjoy talking to them when I do, especially when they happen to be a close personal friend of mine, like this week's guest, Ben Ray from Slam Dunk. Slam Dunk is, for my money, the best alternative festival in the UK. It caters to everyone. And Ben's grown in from a ska punk club night in Leeds to one of the most successful festivals in the country. We talk all about that journey on this podcast, and lots of other fun stuff along the way.

Episode 240 of Life In The Stocks features the one and only Paul Stanley from Kiss. I'd never met Paul Stanley before this Zoom call, and I've wanted to interview him for years, so it was an absolute pleasure to finally sit down with the Starchild and hear about his time in the hottest band in the world. We talk about his 45 year friendship with Gene Simmons, the creative and interpersonal dynamics within Kiss, original line-ups, evolving over time, doing what you love, never backing down, the legacy of Kiss, the strong possibility that the band will continue without Gene & Paul, and Paul's latest solo project, Soul Station. His new album, Now And Then, is out NOW and it's frickin' awesome. If you like soul music, you will LOVE it.

#238 Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains/Solo)
This one has been on the cards for a while - at least in my mind! Alice In Chains head honcho Jerry Cantrell has been a dream guest of mine since I launched Life In The Stocks in 2017, and it's an honour to finally have him on the show. The only other podcast Jerry's done before this one is Let There Be Talk with Dean Delray - which, coincidentally, is the one of only two podcasts that I regularly listen to, the other being WTF with Marc Maron. So that makes this appearance on Life In The Stocks extra special. We talk all about Seattle and coming up in that scene with *those bands, we discuss working on movies like The Cable Guy and Jerry Maguire, playing with Duff McKagan, Jerry's love of blues and country music, his relationship with William DuVall, his admiration for Mike Patton, and his three incredible solo albums, Boggy Depot, Degradation Trip, and Brighten - out October 29th. Thanks to Jerry for coming on the show. I hope we can do another one in person someday.

I figured we'd relaunch the show with two episodes seeing as how we've been away for two months. And what better way to reintroduce Life In The Stocks to the world of podcasting than with a conversation with a bonafide punk rock legend: Paul Cook from Sex Pistols & The Professionals. Paul is a lovely man and we had wonderful conversation about his life and times in the aforementioned bands. The new album by The Professionals is called SNAFU and it's out now. And you can catch the band on tour all over the U.K. throughout October. Tickets can be purchased via theprofessionalsband.com

#234 Ben Weasel (Screeching Weasel)
Episode 234 of Life In The Stocks features Ben Weasel from Screeching Weasel. Ben is somewhat of a divisive figure in the punk rock community, but very few outlets or platforms seem to have given him the chance to tell his side of the story following the incident at SXSW in Austin, Texas in 2011. So I thought it was about time I invited him on to my podcast to set the record straight. And we ended up having a super in-depth, interesting & insightful conversation that covered everything from cancel culture & wokism to racism, politics & socio-economics, comedy & censorship, controversy, redemption, parenthood, and a whole lot more. Forget about what you think you know about Ben Weasel. Go into this podcast with an open mind, and see how you feel at the end. If you're not familiar with his band either, Screeching Weasel are one of the most influential pop punk bands of all-time. They are well worthy of your time - if you like that kind of music, there are very few who do it better.

It's definitely for the deep thinkers, but if you've found yourself questioning the very nature of human existence during this pandemic period - why are we here, what happened to lead us to this point, and where do we go from here - then Rou's book is an essential addition to your library. Apologies for taking so long to get you on the podcast Roughton, but it was well worth the wait for this chat.

#220 Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees/Mad Season/Barrett Martin Group)
This is one of my favourite podcasts date. Composer, percussionist, producer, author, and all-round nice guy Barrett Martin joins me for Episode 220 of Life In The Stocks for a deep dive discussion on songwriting, travel, spirituality, mysticism, culture, capitalism, environmentalism, ethnomusicology, and a whole lot more. Barrett His performed on such legendary albums as Rated R by Queens of the Stone Age, Sweet Oblivion by Screaming Trees, and Above by Mad Season to name just a few. He's been involved in so many great projects over the last thirty years. His book The Singing Earth also comes highly recommended.

#217 Jaret Reddick (Bowling For Soup)
Welcome to this very special episode of Life In The Stocks with my dear old Jaret Reddick from Bowling For Soup. I've known Jaret for ten years, since the Kerrang! Radio days, and he's one of my best friends in the music business. It's been six years since we last did an interview together, so we had an awful lot of ground to cover, and we got deep into it. People have been asking me when is Jaret going to make an appearance on the podcast ever since I launched the show in 2017, and believe me when I say it's been well worth the wait. This is one of the most honest, open & vulnerable podcast conversations you will ever hear. It's one of my all-time favourite episodes. Thank you to Jaret for being such a great guest and a great friend. I hope you find this talk as inspiring and life-affirming as I did.

From one member of Against Me! to another this week, drummer Atom Willard joins me for Episode 216 of Life In The Stocks as we attempt to cover a significant chunk (there was no way we were ever going to cover all of it) of the project he's been involved in over the years, from Rocket From The Crypt and The Special Goodness to Angels & Airwaves and Against Me! Like many of the best drummers out there - Josh Freese, Joey Castillo, Ilan Rubin - Atom is insanely prolific and has played with so many great bands. It was cool to pick his brain and hear his unique perspective on all the bands that he's played in.

My dear friend Laura Jane Grace returns for a second Life In The Stocks appearance this week - the first being Episode 003 way back in February 2017. We catch up on what's been happening over the last four years, and unsurprisingly there was plenty to talk about, from writing books and releasing solo records to getting clean and sober and finding oneself along the way. It's a beautiful chat with a beautiful person, and an artist, songwriter and human being that I hold in very high regard.

Punk legend TV Smith joins me for Episode 208 of Life In The Stocks. This is an incredibly exciting guest for me, as The Adverts are on of my all-time favourite punk bands and TV Smith is one of my all-time favourite songwriters. The first two Adverts albums, and his debut solo album, Channel Five, have been key records throughout my life. His new album Lockdown Holiday is also great - it addresses not only the global pandemic that we're still in, but also the state of humanity and where we find ourselves in 2021. I really hope you enjoy this conversation one of the all-time great British songwriters.

#202 Eric Melvin (NOFX)
We're kicking off Series Three of Life In The Stocks with a NOFX double bill. And what better way to initiate the next round of 100 episodes than with not one but TWO podcasts with the guys in my all-time favourite band. Last week, I finally welcomed Fat Mike on to the show, and it fast became my most downloaded episode to date. The response was incredible. And if you think that conversation with Fat Mike went deep, wait until you hear this week's podcast with Eric Melvin. What a beautiful soul.
We had such a lovely talk, taking in the pandemic, how it's affected NOFX, life coaching, listening to and connecting with people, PMA, drugs and alcohol, what's been happening with Mike, getting him in to rehab, how that's impacted the band, the role of Smelly and El Hefe in NOFX, the book, fatherhood, his new electronic project, and so much more. This episode really is a great example of what this podcast is all about: deep philosophical discussions with interesting artists and grade A human…

#201 Fat Mike (NOFX)
This conversation has been a LONG time in the making. If you know me at all, or you've been following me online or listening to this podcast for a while, then you'll know that NOFX are my favourite band of all-time. I'm not saying they're the best, but they are my personal favourite. They've had such a big impact in my life. I even talk about it in my new book, which is out NOW! ;)
The new album by NOFX, entitled Single Album, is also out NOW. And it's their most personal, self reflective, introspective record to date. You might not think that's your bag - you may prefer the upbeat, jovial, political NOFX - but truth be told, no one in the punk scene does sad, dark, confessional compositions quite like Fat Mike. This album is awesome. And because it is a little on the sombre side, this conversation is a little earnest, and perhaps not what you would expect from Fat Mike. But that's exactly why I like it.
I'm obviously going to be biased, but I think this is one of the most open, hone…

#185 Daniel Mays (Actor)
It's been a while since we've had an actor on the show, which gives us great pleasure to announce that this week's guest on Life In The Stocks is one of the finest actors working in TV and film today: Daniel Mays. Danny joins Matt for an in-depth chat about acting - the profession, the craft, the process, the pay-off - and some of the notable projects he's been involved with over the years, from Line of Duty, Des, Code 404 and White Lines, to Vera Drake, Tintin, Star Wars, and more. Danny is not only one of the best actors in the UK, he's also a really great bloke, and you're going to love this episode. Be sure to familiarise yourself with his work, if you're not already. And expect plenty more great performances from this man in the future. In many ways, he's just getting started.

From the band's early days playing the Camden Barfly, to going on tour with The Wildhearts and Metallica, via their quadruple platinum selling debut album, Permission to Land, to their meteoric rise to fame, losing the plot, breaking up, getting back together, the new line-up, and the winning streak they've been on over the last few years - it's all in here. And then some more. Enjoy!

And now for something completely different. A couple of weeks back, I got a message from my good friend Jesse Leach. He had a novel idea: that he come on Life In The Stocks, and not as a guest, but rather the host, and interview me for a change. So we switched roles. And this is the resulting conversation. I had an absolute ball recording it (apologies for the poor sound quality - I'm still figuring out these remote recording methods), and I hope you enjoy listening to it. Thank you so much to Jesse for suggesting we do this, being interested enough to do it, and for taking the time out for little old me. Consider me humbled, in the best possible way.

Dream Nails also happen to be one of the most exciting and important upcoming UK bands around. And with a lot going on in the world right now, it seemed like the perfect time to get Janey on the show. Unsurprisingly, we had an awful lot to talk about, too. Hopefully you enjoy, and take lots of interesting and positive things away from the conversation. Keep an eye out for the debut self-titled album by Dream Nails, coming later this year.

Usually, when we put out episodes that are longer than 90 minutes, we split them into two parts, but we've decided to keep this one whole so you can get swept up and lost in the conversation. It's a DEEP one this week. And things get a little intense at times. But then that's what we do here on Life In The Stocks, and we hope anyone that's previously struggled or currently struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts will take something positive and inspirational away from hearing Jake's story.
Jake is one of Matt's dearest friends, and in the words of Hunter S. Thompson, is "one of God's own prototypes: too weird to live and too rare to die." This already ranks as an all-time favourite episode. There's tales from Warped Tour '97, the final days of CBGB, partying with Kid Rock, and Jake's mental breakdown, suicide attempt, and the long, hard, ultimately rewarding road to recovery. There is something for everyone in here.

He joins Matt for a pre-Corona virus, pre-social distancing chat about New York history, hardcore and CBGB. Vinnie also reveals his wide range of unlikely creative influences, from Jimi Hendrix and Frank Sinatra all the way to Bruce Lee, discusses his relationship and creative partnership with AF frontman Roger Miret, and shares his thoughts on everything from pigeons to the mafia. It's a thoroughly entertaining talk with one of the most original characters in rock 'n' roll. Buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

This week's episode of Life In The Stocks features Chris No. 2 from Anti-Flag. Despite touring together in the past, this was actually the first time that Matt and No. 2 sat down and had a proper conversation together, and it was well and truly worth the wait. What you're about to hear is deep, intense, life affirming, vulnerable and honest conversation that goes to some pretty difficult and at times dark places, but always comes back to the light and a tone of optimism and hope, because that's the kind of guy Chris is. You are going to love this episode. And we hope, if you've also been affected by some of the issues raised here, that you find some form of respite and comfort in No. 2's story.

Thomas also talks about what it was like acting opposite Tarantino's to-go-guy Michael Madsen, how he almost got into a fight with Matthew McConaughey, the American Pie films and their varying degrees of success, working with Roger Avary - who co-wrote Pulp Fiction with Quentin Tarantino - on The Rules of Attraction, playing Frank Sinatra Jr and acting opposite William H. Macy in Stealing Sinatra, Thomas's music career and more.

It's an intense episode this week, but hopefully an uplifting and inspiring one as well. The main thread of the conversation is mental health, suicide and depression, which obviously aren't easy topics to discuss, so thank you to Ginger for being so open and vulnerable and for sharing his struggles - hopefully anyone who suffers with mental health issues can take something positive away from this one.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the last episode of Series One of Life In The Stocks, and Episode 100 overall. Seeing as how Pritchard & Dainton were the top two most downloaded episodes from the first season of the podcast, it made sense to bring things full circle with the audio from one of the Live Dirty Sanchez shows, and we've gone with the Cardiff show because that one was the most unruly and out of control - and it ends with live strip show, which may well be a podcast first. We'd like to say a huge thank you to Pritchard & Dainton for their friendship and all their support with the podcast. We couldn't have come this far without you guys.

#096 Johnny Doom (Kerrang! Radio/Doom)
Well, ladies and gents, welcome to the last interview of Season One of Life In The Stocks. And we end where it all began for our host as he welcomes on to his podcast his old friend and former Kerrang! Radio colleague, Johnny Doom. Johnny's been like a big brother to Matt since he started out in the music and broadcasting business in 2010, and it made complete sense to draw a line under the first season of his podcast with a nice lengthy two hour chat with the Brummie punk & radio legend. This ranks amongst the very best episodes of the podcast so far. Be sure to check out Johnny's show on Kerrang! Radio, too.

He's someone I deeply admire and respect, and I hope anyone who suffers from mental health issues will get something positive and helpful from our conversation together. Stay strong and spread the love. You are not alone. x

This week's guest on Life In The Stocks is solo artist & performer Joe Cardamone, formerly of The Icarus Line. The topic of death comes up a lot, from the death of David Bowie and the effect that his passing had on the musical community to the passing of Scott Weiland (Joe was actually on the tour that Weiland died on) and the tragic death of Joe's longtime friend & collaborator Alvin DeGuzman, which was still fresh on Joe's mind at this point. It's heavy duty stuff, but also very inspiring. Thank you to Joe for sharing his story.
