Talking with Pons the band (in your ears).  Sam, Sebastion and Jack had a great conversation with me about their post punk / dance punk band, Pons.  With 2 drummers live and a purposely differing live and recorded sound, this band will have you on your toes and flailing wildly to the beat.  Listen to their debut album INTELLECT now!  Read the show notes here.

I was lucky enough to be able to chat with Anthony about his musical career and various projects he's worked on in the past.  Anthony is currently involved in the band Fall From Sanity (Progressive Rock Band from Burlington, Vermont. Blair Shedd - Vocals, Matt Sicard - Guitar, Anthony Girelli - Drums/Keys, Sean Dollar - Bass), with members spread across the state of Vermont.  This is a special project because most of  he members have only played together a few times in person.  Each band mate records their individual part and then Anthony has been mastering the tracks into very polished and impressive heavy rock pieces.  Listen to them on ReverbNation.
