They may, may not, maybe, not sure, but they will be putting out new music soon as well as embarking on a tour with some of their heroes; it's gonna be a banner year in the Winona household. Also, the Misfits are a pop/punk band at the heart of it, just with a few more demons.

Making Waves, Episode 119, the Christmas edition, featured Jack Underkofler Dead Poet Society, who offered us everything but a lump of coal for the hour. Their new album, Fission, is a heavily influenced breakup record due out a week before ShipRocked 2024; timing is everything. We spoke about the band's popularity in Europe, especially in the Netherlands, because it's like a national holiday when they come to town. The absurd beauty of Prague and Amsterdam, why his two dream rooms to play are both in Virginia and why it's crucial to play basement parties from time to time. This plus his experience at Berklee School of Music when, in a brief moment of anxiety, he changed majors immediately.

Making Waves episode 118 features Jami Morgan of the mighty Code Orange. The Pittsburgh native took the time to discuss the band’s latest album, The Above, and its continued growth of the group from hardcore upstarts to metal titans who treat their albums in a cinematic approach while expanding their sonic palette beyond pure cacophony, giving the music and the listener a chance to breathe. Wrestling, the opportunity to work with Chicago legends Steve Albini and Billy Corgan, and the grand life of a tortoise are touched upon.
