In this week’s episode, I get on the phone with ex-Brazil singer Jonothan Newby as he gets lost driving in Muncie, Indiana. Newby and I talk about and listen to three tracks from Brazil’s final post-mortem EP, “Ere I am J.H.”

Newby and I go way back, to his days in Catharsis and the Humdrum, and my days in Mara’Akate. He is a great guy and a talented musician. If you have been listening to the show, you might recall him sitting in on our interview with Waves on Waves a few months ago.

Check out the interview, and be sure to pick up the band’s discography from your favorite digital retailer!

This week Rob and I have decided to shut up and let the rock rock. In this episode we feature some new tracks from some bands that we will interviewing in the coming weeks, so listen up!

RockitBomb – November 6th, 2008

The first track is a new rock from The Bronx, who we will be talking to next week about their new record, “The Bronx III” If you like what you hear you can stream their entire new album on the band’s mySpace page.

Up next is the new track from Third Eye Blind. I don’t hate it, but it sounds an awful lot like “Semi-Charmed Kind of Life” if you ask me. It is a catchy tune, but I still don’t know how I feel about singing “young gay republican” all day in my head.

While we don’t have a 3EB interview scheduled, we do have something lined up with The Juan MacLean, an awesome electronic act. Get their track, and check out the amazing video below.

The last two tracks are two great bands, Emergency Music plays some great Walkmen-esque indie rock, and we hope to be talking with them soon, while Gazelles sounds like Death Cab For Cutie meets The Apples In Stereo. Thin Fevers (my band) had the pleasure of meeting Gazelles here in Indy, and I look forward to getting them on the show soon.

Download Emergency Music’s new record “You’ll Be The Death Of Us, Honey” for free at their site.

Check out Gazelles on mySpace.

The Graduate is one of those bands that are poised to take over the world. They are hard touring troubadors with talent, and Rob and I had a chance to talk to Corey Warning (Yes, that is his real named, listen all the way through the show for some name-related outtakes) for this week’s episode of RockitBomb.

We have 3 (Yes, 3!) tracks from the band. Rob and I talk to Corey about all three tracks and learn some things about the band’s past and influences. If you are a fan of U2, No Knife, Cave In, and or The Dismemberment Plan, I think you will find something to like in this week’s episode. Be sure to pick up their new re-released full length, Andehonia (Revisitied) in November if you like what you hear.
