    Episode 7: Deep Dive with Youth Sector: Nick Tompkins on Post-Punk Precision & Lyrical Disruption
    Aug 4 2025
    Nick Tompkins...frontman of Brighton’s brainy and brilliantly bent Youth Sector...joins me for a conversation that’s more math rock than small talk. Known for their sharp hooks...social commentary...and new wave grooves that twitch with purpose....Youth Sector’s sound is just as deliberate as it is dizzying.... We unpacked stage energy....aesthetics....and the existential weight behind making art that moves people physically and mentally.... We got into Brighton’s DIY scene...being neurotic in the best way....and how every offbeat guitar stab is just as intentional as the message behind the mic.... If you’ve ever danced to a song you wanted to endlessly quote...this one's for you... ABOUT DIGEST THE DIG 🎧📓 Where underground sounds find a voice.

  • Episode 6: Digesting How Music Affects Our Brain with Bonbonfire: From Therapy Rooms to Flaming Truths

    Episode 6: Digesting How Music Affects Our Brain with Bonbonfire: From Therapy Rooms to Flaming Truths
    Jul 28 2025
    Bonbonfire is a duo built on heart, healing, and harmony. Quenton and Krystal Clarke are not just musicians—they’re music therapists, partners in life and art, and parents weaving their personal stories into every note. Their new album, This Wasn't The Plan, is a raw, intimate journey through unexpected twists, resilience, and the power of connection. In our conversation, we peeled back the layers on how their work as therapists shapes their sound, how family life and creativity collide, and the ways they navigate making music that heals while keeping it real. They shared stories of balancing dreams with reality, the soundtrack of love and struggle, and how music became both their refuge and their gift.

  • Episode 5: Digging Deep with Rachel Zamstein: Neurodivergent Narratives & Acoustic Alchemy

    Episode 5: Digging Deep with Rachel Zamstein: Neurodivergent Narratives & Acoustic Alchemy
    Jul 21 2025
    Rachel Zamstein is an artist whose music feels less like sound...and more like self exploration. She’s a multi-instrumentalist, a lyrical soul-searcher, and someone who sees the world through a different sensory lens… We talked about what it’s like being on the spectrum, how emotion lives between her lyrics, and why she doesn’t just learn instrument...she absorbs them. Rachel’s creative process is intuitive, almost spiritual. Every note she plays feels like a form of understanding, both for her and for those listening. If you’ve ever turned to music for clarity or comfort, you’ll feel right at home here.

  • Episode 4: Digesting The Sounds of Sferro: The Pulse Beneath The Beats

    Episode 4: Digesting The Sounds of Sferro: The Pulse Beneath The Beats
    Jul 14 2025
    I sit down with Sferro....a master creator of building universes out of bare beats. Synth-driven...and analog-soaked....his tracks will leave you feeling like you've just learned a new language. From the outside, it’s retro. But from the inside, it’s revolutionary. His sound has been featured in Forza Horizon 5, yet somehow, it still feels like a best kept secret. We talked about the beauty of imperfection...how making tracks as they come to him help shape album emotion....and why restraint for the art....is just as important as rhythm.... If you’ve ever driven just a little slower so a song could finish before you park...you’re already a fan of what Sferro does...

    Episode 3: Digging Into Kyle Gordon: The Mind Behind MammaBear
    Jul 7 2025
    If you’re looking for polished pop...this ain’t it. MammaBear’s Kyle Gordon is doing all the heavy lifting himself...from writing to playing every note. Rough, real, and unapologetically loud. Atlanta born...endlessly layered...and somehow still flying under the radar... We dive into the hustle of flying solo...why sometimes the scruffier the sound...the truer the song...and what it means to make music on your own terms.

  • Episode 2: Digesting Ex Wife: Ria's Raw Reckoning

    Episode 2: Digesting Ex Wife: Ria's Raw Reckoning
    Jun 30 2025
    Had the chance to chat with Ria of Ex Wife about "BLOW" a raw...gut punch of an album that turns heartbreak into something loud...distorted...and unapologetically alive. Think Fiona Apple spirals...Cranberries grit...and a voice that owns the chaos. If you grew up with speakers full of static and lyrics that knew your secrets...this one’s gonna hit.

    Episode 1: Digging Deeper with Taylor Jordan: A Dangerous Affair Begins
    Jun 27 2025
    I sat down with Taylor Jordan (the powerhouse lead singer of A Dangerous Affair‬). We dug into their music, meaning, and how sharing their sound is turning heads, building fans, and putting Texas talent loud and proud on the map. This band isn’t just reviving pop/punk scene...they’re reanimating it with screaming vocals, thunderous drums, and lyrics that hit harder than your ex's apology at 2am.
