York, England’s own Blackbeard’s Tea Party, a wild folk rock band who mash up sea shanties, traditional tunes, punk energy, and glam-level stage antics. From their nautical banger “Chicken on a Raft” to politically charged originals like “I Am People” and “England Bound,” this episode is packed with pirate rock riffs, distorted melodeon, and fiddle lines that feel like Gogol Bordello jamming with The Clash in a pub.​

You may know The Corey hotline from a Simpsons reference, or you may actually remember when Corey Haim, and Corey Feldman had a hotline in the 1980's.

Dr. Sure's Unusual Practice is a five-piece synth-punk art rock band from Melbourne, Narrm, Australia — and they are exactly as described on their website: rock music for oddballs and outsiders. Henry Rollins put their 2024 album Total Reality in his top 10 of the year. Rolling Stone put it in their top 50. They've toured with King Gizzard, Tropical Fuckstorm, and Cosmic Psychos. And about a month ago, they pulled all their music off every streaming platform — Spotify, Apple Music, all of it — because they refuse to contribute to what they called "the war machine." You can find them at their Bandcamp. You can find them on YouTube. And now you can find them right here.

What happens when you mix Marine Corps drill cadence with heavy guitar riffs and a "no fads" attitude? You get 434, a band that is reclaiming the raw energy of rock and roll. And we have some serious role reversal going on in this one, Gary introduces JR to a new band he's never heard of (sort of)! In Part 2 of our feature on 434, we sit down with Mike and Scott to discuss their Central Virginia roots, why they chose a "number name" and the truth behind those Clutch comparisons. From the "whiskey fist" shock value to their "Rock and Roll Sermon" live shows, we dive deep into how this band stays authentic in a world of recyclable radio hits.

Don't let the name fool you, Joan Smith and The Jane Does are somebody. They are coming on strong in the Canadian Rock scene, based out of Toronto. Jane's vocals, dirty guitar, along with Tom's edge of insanity lead guitar bring to life a sound that is both 90's alternative rock and as fresh as the falling snow. If you are a fan of Nirvana, Queens of The Stone Age, Rage Against the Machine, or just good solid rock, you are going to love JSATJD. 

Three brothers from Long Island. Started playing jazz together when the youngest was eight. Won Amateur Night at the Apollo — multiple times. Opened for Slash and Living Color. Endorsed by Paul Reed Smith. Most played song on Spotify: 15,000 streams. The band is MJT. They were the Michael Jazz Trio until they decided they'd rather be like the Foo Fighters. The jazz crowd was not thrilled. They did it anyway.

JR went to the Edinburgh Fringe and stumbled on to the Royal Mile and was immediately greeted with the warmest Scottish welcome possible. Real Scottish musicians, a family band, playing traditional Scottish folk tune alongside their wonderful original tunes. JR knew immediately this band was perfect for BYNHO. A month later, they are done busking at Fringe and were ready to sit down with JR and Gary to talk about their music, songwriting, busking at the Fringe, being multi-instrumentalists, how Scotland should be its own country, and their opinion of JR's Kilt.
