Puscifer's Normal Isn't: Carina Round Gets Elbows Deep in Creativity, Chaos & Joy
Carina Round from Puscifer joins We Wreck Records for a conversation that goes way beyond the music. We get into the psychology of creating under pressure, the strange balance between darkness and joy, and what it really means to build something meaningful with other people. Carina opens up about finding her place inside Puscifer's world, the trust that fuels their creative process, and how pushing yourself into the unknown is often the only way forward. From feminine energy in heavy music, to the chaos of the pandemic, to carving out beauty when life gets difficult - this is a deep, thoughtful and unexpectedly funny conversation about art, identity and staying creatively alive. If you've ever wondered how great records actually come together, or why we make things at all, this one goes there.

War on Women's Time Under Tension: The Riff Is The Vehicle For The Message
Xtina sits down with Shawna Potter, frontwoman of feminist punk band War On Women, as well as an author and intimacy coordinator working across film and theatre. They talk about the band's new album Time Under Tension (out May 8), and the role of music in activism, the balance between message and heavy riffs, and what it means to create in a world that feels like a pressure cooker.

Primitive Man's Observance: Death Sludge, Occult Art & Surviving the Surveillance State
Ethan Lee McCarthy of Primitive Man joins host Christina Rowatt to talk about the band's devastating album Observance and the ideas behind their uniquely oppressive sound. In this conversation, Ethan explains why Primitive Man rejected the limitations of traditional doom metal and coined their own term – "death sludge." He dives into the band's sonic philosophy, from crafting guitar tones that feel like "the surface of the sun" to drawing influence from artists as diverse as Portishead, industrial music and film soundtracks. The conversation moves from sound to worldview. Ethan discusses the themes driving Observance, including techno-feudalism, the surveillance state and the growing influence of authoritarian politics around the world. Primitive Man's music may be punishingly heavy, but it's rooted in a deep awareness of the human condition. Along the way, Ethan also shares a surprising origin story: how drawing demonic imagery as a child led to accusations of satan worship in his religious household – and ultimately pushed him toward picking up the guitar. It's a conversation about extreme music, art, politics and the strange paths that lead people to create the soundtrack to the end of the world.

Gogol Bordello's We Mean It, Man!: War, Punk's Bastard Children & Beaver Power
Eugene Hütz of Gogol Bordello and their new record We Mean It, Man! isn't just a clever name. Raised on punk rock and all that came after it in Kyiv, Ukraine, the band - merging punk, gypsy music, techno, post-punk and more - brings electric energy musically and conscious power lyrically. Eugene reflects on friends fighting on the frontlines in Ukraine, the spiritual resilience of people at war, and what it means to "make life possible again" after devastation. We talk Joe Strummer, Nick Cave, Bernard Sumner, Fela Kuti, post-punk lineage, and the alchemy of working with legendary producer Nick Launay. From punk scenes in Kyiv built on smuggled tapes with no chronology, to the philosophy of protest, rebuilding after catastrophe, and why beavers may have done more good for the planet than humans - this is a conversation about music as frequency, resistance, inheritance and survival.

Mariachi El Bronx (IV): The Bronx Minus Punk Rock, All Heart
Mariachi El Bronx is punk rock band The Bronx's double life expressed through mariachi music - a project that began as a fun experiment and evolved into something far deeper and more meaningful than anyone expected. Frontman Matt Caughthran dives into the wild netherworld of the band's new record Mariachi El Bronx (IV), his personal evolution, love, grief, and why both styles are more than just a sound - they're culture, identity and community.
