Good Noise Podcast

On this episode of Good Noise Podcast, I’m joined by Paul Leary from Butthole Surfers to discuss After the Astronaut, the long-lost album that was originally intended to follow the band's breakthrough 1996 release Electriclarryland before being shelved by their record label for nearly three decades.Paul reflects on the band's mindset during the late '90s, the success of "Pepper," and the decision to push further into experimental territory rather than chase commercial expectations. We discuss the album's journey from a completed major-label release to a mythic unreleased record, the creative freedom that fueled its electronic, psychedelic, and industrial influences, and what it means to finally release After the Astronaut exactly as it was originally intended.We also talk about the band's legacy, revisiting music from a different era, and how this once-lost chapter of Butthole Surfers history has finally found its way into the world.Butthole Surfers Socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buttholesurfers/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ButtholeSurfersMusic/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYJOr3mUCKt-CFXWXiRnrXg?feature=gws_kp_artist&feature=gws_kp_artistApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/butthole-surfers/396656Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/62BcWP4fzR8axESibNQEhs?autoplay=true

On this episode of Good Noise Podcast, I’m joined by GILT to discuss their album I Saw Myself In The Black Screen.We dive into the creation of I Saw Myself In The Black Screen, a record that explores escapism, trauma, media consumption, and the struggle between self-destruction and survival. The band shares insight into the deeply personal themes woven throughout the album, from childhood experiences and domestic violence to the role fantasy, television, video games, and pop culture can play in helping people process difficult realities.We also discuss GILT's unique "Nu Emocore" sound, blending elements of metalcore, post-hardcore, nu metal, screamo, and alternative rock into something chaotic, emotional, and entirely their own. From crushing riffs and turntable scratches to anthemic choruses and walls of sound, I Saw Myself In The Black Screen represents the band's most ambitious and fully realized work to date.GILT Socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giltflFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/giltfl/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@giltfl?lang=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@gilt9297Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/gilt/1809737247Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/59nCDPMkSmF4iyBkMwzpzx?si=0cOOQxVLT_C3sC3bUi3Jcw&nd=1&dlsi=06f23e69920448d5
