Epside 14 with Laurent Lebec of Pelican
<p class="isSelectedEnd">On this episode of What Are You Jamming?, I'm joined by Laurent Schroeder-Lebec of Pelican - a band that has spent the last two decades proving you don't need vocals to absolutely level people.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">We talk about the band's roots in the Chicago hardcore scene, how their sound has evolved over time, and why trying to pin a genre on Pelican is kind of missing the point. Laurent also gets into the creative process behind their latest record, Flickering Resonance, which pushes into more melodic territory without losing the weight they're known for.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">There's also a look at life outside the band - including his work in bar management - plus how the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped both the music industry and personal priorities.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">We get into gear, live performance, and the unique challenge of connecting with audiences through instrumental music that says a lot without saying anything at all.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">And of course, we close it out the only way we know how:<br /> What is Laurent jamming right now?</p> <p>Intro track: "Cascading Crescent"<br /> Outro track: "Evergreen"</p>

Episode 13 with Bryn from Stay Inside!
<p data-start="865" data-end="945">This week on What Are You Jamming?, I'm joined by Bryn Niebohr of Stay Inside.</p> <p data-start="947" data-end="1271">We talk about the band's origins, Bryn's musical upbringing, and how a wide range of influences eventually gets filtered into something that feels distinctly their own. There's a lot in here about evolution - not just in sound, but in process - from more individual writing to something increasingly collaborative and fluid.</p> <p data-start="1273" data-end="1520">We also get into the making of Lunger, including the natural (and correct) decision to bring horns into the mix, the role New York plays in shaping the band's identity, and the push-and-pull between genre labels and just making what feels right.</p> <p data-start="1522" data-end="1700">Along the way, we talk touring, fan connection, and the idea of artistic integrity - not as some fixed standard, but as a moving target that's more about honesty than perfection.</p> <p data-start="1702" data-end="1798">And, of course, Bryn answers the question that gives this show its name: What are you jamming?</p> <p data-start="1800" data-end="1904">Featuring:<br /> <span class="whitespace-normal">Counting Electric Sheep</span> (intro)<br data-start="1856" data-end="1859" /> <span class="whitespace-normal">Ain't That a Daisy?</span> (outro)</p>

We talk about the catharsis of playing live, the collaborative process behind the band's songs, and the gear and production choices that help bring that sound to life.</p> <p data-start="1780" data-end="1990">The conversation also touches on the life-altering accident involving his wife Maddie and how that experience shifted his perspective on life, creativity, and what it means to connect with people through music.</p> <p data-start="1992" data-end="2112">It's a conversation about heavy music, real life, and why sometimes the loudest music comes from the most honest places.</p> <p data-start="2114" data-end="2224">Intro song: "Mourning the Living" - Year of the Knife<br data-start="2171" data-end="2174" /> Outro song: "No Love Lost" - Year of the Knife</p> <p data-start="2229" data-end="2270">Got a record you can't stop listening to?</p> <p data-start="2272" data-end="2304">Tell me what you're jamming.</p> <p data-start="2306" data-end="2395">DM the show or send an extremely retro email to:<br data-start="2354" data-end="2357" /> <strong data-start="2357" data-end="2395"><a class= "decorated-link cursor-pointer" rel="noopener" data-start="2359" data-end="2393">whatareyoujammingpodcast@gmail.com</a></strong></p>
