Thomas Walsh (Pugwash)

It has been a while since I interviewed Thomas Walsh (way back in 2020) but I was lucky enough to chat with him after a show in person at the 11L-Radio NY International Studio in Brooklyn, NY. Many thanks to my “crew,” Dave “The Boogieman,” and Steven Korn for their assistance. We chat about the new album, The Rest Is History, plus The Duckworth Lewis Method, XTC, Jeff Lynne (ELO), and Joe Elliot (Def Leppard). It was great!

Power Popaholic Interview: Flying Underground

Flying Underground

Sometimes I find a band that I missed the year before, but it had a great album that made me take notice. Ohio-based Flying Underground is such a band. I speak to the main songwriter/guitarist, Brian Lovely, and the lead singer, Kelly McCracken. We talk about a few songs on the self-titled album and more. 🎸 Hear the album below:

Power Popaholic Interview: Richard Turgeon

Richard Turgeon

I’ve followed Richard’s career since his breakout debut with the song “Bigfoot’s an Alien,” and his new album “Life of the Party” is his best one to date. Richard Turgeon has found his niche, and he’s sticking with it. He’s a one-man band that writes, composes, and plays almost everything himself. You can read the review here, or 🎸  listen below:

Power Popaholic Interview: The Weeklings

The Weeklings

Power Popaholic interviewed The Weeklings a few years ago, and now they’ve returned with a new album! Raspberry Park goes in a few different directions. There are still unique Beatles covers, but some new original sounds that recall other 60’s bands, and I dig through the origins of these songs.

Once again, I spoke with Glen Burtnik (Lefty Weekling) and Bob Burger (Zeek Weekling) about the album and how they have evolved with this new album.
