88. Shudder To Think
<p>After moving to D.C. in 1985, then 16-year-old Craig Wedren helped shape <a href="https://shuddertothink.bandcamp.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shudder To Think</a> into a standout act within the Dischord Records scene, evolving from a raw hardcore-adjacent sound into a complex style that eventually earned the respect of Ian MacKaye. The band pivoted to Epic Records in 1994 during the big alt-rock boom, releasing the sonic anomoly <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pony_Express_Record" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pony Express Record</a> before facing label pressure to produce more commercial hits for their follow-up, 50,000 B.C., which would be the group’s final studio album to date. Following their 1998 split, Wedren built a prolific career in film and television scoring, but the group reunited in 2025 to record new material. Despite a 20-year hiatus from their signature style, their collective muscle memory remained intact, allowing them to integrate modern digital tools with the foundational creative energy that defined their early years. Shudder To Think’s latest single, “Thirst Walk,” is out now on Dischord records. I spoke with Craig Wedren from his home studio in Los Angeles.</p><p>Low Profile is supported by <u>you</u> via flexible monthly or one-time donations at patreon.com/lowprofile</p><p>Low Profile also receive in-kind support from San Francisco Street Bakery, Old School Pizzeria, Three Magnets Brewing Company, Schwartz's Deli and Rainy Day Records, all of them are from Olympia.

Kento Oiwa - Olympia Music History Project
Musician Kento Oiwa interviewed by Markly Morrison for the Olympia Music History Project. Formed in the mid-1990s by Japanese immigrants Kento Oiwa and Michiko Swiggs, IQU was a group unlike anything folks in Olympia–or anyplace else, for that matter–had ever witnessed.. I spoke to Kento in a hotel room on an assignment from the Olympia Music History Project, where this interview was first published. Beyond his involvement in IQU, Kento was also an active DJ and event organizer in the Olympia music scene throughout the 1990s. As you will hear, he’s a killer theremin player too. Kento also helped organize the storied Yo Yo A Gogo festivals that filled downtown Olympia with people from all over the world, including friends from Japan like the Bloodthirsty Butchers and Copass Grinderz. This episode has been gussied up with some tasty music clips for your enjoyment. If you like, you can read the full transcript and dig a little deeper into this story–and other stories connected to it–at olympiamusichistory.org
