This week we dive right into our interview with Ian Cromwell.

Ian Cromwell is the creator and host of Locals Lounge, a local music showcase featuring live performances and interview segments held at The Belmont Bar on Sundays once a month.

Our featured guest was Sam Herle who performs as a solo folk artist under the moniker Elf Pity and provides vocals for the band Duck. We had the chance to hear a selection of Sam’s original material and learn about the recording process for the new Elf Pity EP.

A lot goes in to creating a podcast…A topic, great guests, a couple of questions to get the conversation going, and A LOT of editing. Our episodes don’t always sound perfect, but we try our best to ensure it sounds as good as possible. With each episode we release the perfectionist in us has always had a few qualms. So, when the opportunity arose to do Pacific Sound Radio raw, uncut, and live on the air it seemed a pretty intimidating. How are we supposed to sound as perfect as possible now? The point is, we don't.

So here it is, every awkward moment, sneeze, cough, stupid joke, and more. All live in studio every Sunday from 4pm-6pm. And it all wouldn't be possible without the support of the incredible team at Save on Radio, station creator and local entrepreneur Mark Brand as well as the passion for local music that comes from all of us here at Pacific Sound Radio. With that being said, we bring you the the next chapter…Welcome to Episode 6.

This episode features Save on Radio's Creative Theory host Ilya Viryachev who chats with James and Travis about how all of this began, and where he fits in to the world of art, design and launching his own radio show. We also get to follow up with Mark Lingelbach, creator of Lambsbreath. We learn about how he's expanded his sound throughout his releases. He also treats us to a few songs, live in studio! 

This year brought all sorts of great releases from local to international acts. Pacific Sound Radio brings you their favourites in this inaugural "Best Of" episode with a new host, new direction, and some incredible bands. Take a listen below! 

Episode 4 brings a one-on-one interview with Lambsbreath frontman Mark Lingelbach. James Olson had the chance to speak with Mark about all the different projects that he has on the go, including a comic series and his first ever rap album.

Episode 3 features two-piece rockers Smash Boom Pow. Brothers Zane and Ulysses Coppard shed some light on how they have been able to work so well as a creative unit, their new single "Way Too Much", and their plans for their next release.

Episode 2 has Douse joining the Pacific Sound Radio team for this latest episode. Alea Clark, Patrick Farrugia, & Jeremiah Ackermann of Douse discuss what went into recording their debut record, keeping themselves sane on tour, and soap making! Check out parts 1 and 2 below: 

Episode 1 has co-hosts James Olson and Jaeden Froese catching up with local act Wind-Up Birds. Between a new record, denim hoola skirts, and the subject of dad rock, Wind-Up Birds brought a few new ideas to our inaugural episode. Check out parts 1 and 2 below with Sam Willett, Matthew Okuda, & Atley King:
