It's an outstanding record and Season to Risk stays loyal to their roots, but if you realize those root

UTP Special Guest: Nick Sakes Jun 17, 2025 00:52:47 We've been excited to make this happen. We at Undetermined the Podcast are proud to welcome Nick Sakes to the family. When I was a young punk, Dazzling Killmen were a core element of everything I loved about hard-core music. His work in Colossamite, Sicbay and Xaddax, had made him seem like an otherworldly figure, to me. We had the pleasure of meeting Nick at Caterwaul a couple of years back.

Special Guest: Joy Thieves' Dan Milligan Jul 26, 2024 00:48:41 Tonight on UTP, we are joined by chief Joy Thief Dan Milligan.

UTP Special Guest: Forbidden Place Records' Tony Willis Feb 20, 2024 00:41:43 UTP label partner in crime and the Prince of Doom, Mr. Tony Willis of Forbidden Place Records joins us to discuss a wild, upcoming project.

Special Guest: Death Pose's Jason S. Thompson Nov 1, 2023 00:58:23 big bird. is dead. Long live Death Pose. Jason S.

Special Guest: :NoMeansNo/Dead Bob's John Wright Sep 13, 2023 01:26:30 NoMeansNo is an absolute powerhouse of a band that combines elements of punk, metal, precision rock and made Jon fall in love with audio sampling. Since being introduced to the band at 17 years old by our brother Matt Amyx, Jon's wanted to pick John Wright's brain. (If you've spent any significant amount of time around Jon you've likely been forced you to hear their Acapella co

Special Guest: Conan Neutron re-returns...again! Sep 4, 2023 01:23:37 When he's not busy writing/recording killer records, organizing music festivals, maintaining multiple podcasts, engaging in relevant social issues, or showing up in documentaries (we've probably left out some stuff...), he's also a great friend who never refuses an invite from a pair of his biggest fans to share the scoop on what's on the horizon. You'd think with all that runn

Special Guest: Hayes Noble Apr 19, 2023 01:00:27 Hailing from Galena, IL (near Jon's old stomping grounds) and featured on Forbidden Place Records Hayes Noble might just be the future of rock and roll. Hayes has been touring the Midwest to much acclaim with a sound reminiscent of Dinosaur Jr. (with less dysfunction) as he performs with Team Noble as a sort of punk rock Partridge Family. His debut album, "Head Cleaner," is as intens

Special Guest: Side 4 Collective's Dave Hingerty Apr 11, 2023 01:19:25 It's always a refreshing and interesting conversation when we talk to one of our favorite guests/people Dave Hingerty.

UTP/ACS: "Battle For Pandora" Mar 29, 2023 01:16:59 On another very special episode of UTP, we venture back into the Asylum Case Studies universe with comedian and friend Tressa Slater. Join us as we pay homage to actor, Tom Sizemore as he has now passed on to a realm beyond. The Battle for Pandora is The Asylum's attempt to cash in on some of that sweet, Avatar 2 money with a mockbuster that has absolutely nothing to do with the original film.

Special Guests: Godzillionaire's Mike Dye and Ben White Mar 1, 2023 00:46:53 If you know the podcast, you know Jon and Matt love them some Godzillionaire!

Special Guests: Maddie and the Deadnames Dec 19, 2022 01:07:10 Hailing from San Marcos, Texas, Maddie and the Dead Names are an amazing, multi-genre rock band that are coming up! A force to be reckoned with both musically and politically, they are also great to chat with. Enjoy, Dandies!

Special Guest: John Forbes of Tijuana Hercules/SKiN GRAFT Records Nov 26, 2022 01:05:52 John  Forbes of Chicago's "Tijuana Hercules," has lived a storied life.

Seriously, Western Hemisphere peeps, you need to check these guys out if you

Special Guest: dUg Pinnick of King's X Oct 14, 2022 00:33:14 We've been looking forward to this for a looooong time. Such an honor to spend some time with a true legend's legend. Mr. dUg Pinnick of King's X and so much more! We could have talked for hours with dUg as we discussed King's X origins/living in Springfield, MO, mutual friends (s'up Monty?), evolving musically/philosophically...even buying awesome t-shirts from Matt in the 90s. Such a great time!

UTP/ACS: "Jungle Run" Oct 7, 2022 01:30:05 Back by popular demand!

Special Guest: Captured! By Robots' JBOT Sep 16, 2022 01:02:29 What's a musician to do when they love making music, but hate depending on other musicians to make it happen? Build a robot group of band mates, of  course! Alas, the best laid plans can backfire, and you could become enslaved by those metal automatons. From the early days in his career as a "Blue Meanie," to the present, JBOT (aka Jay Vance) would have never guessed that  this was to be

Special Guest: Aaron Ball Sep 10, 2022 01:29:56 It would be impossible to find a better choice to narrate legend hunter/writer/musician/(future guest?) Lyle Blackburn's latest book, covering "The FOUKE Monster," AKA- the story behind the  "Legend  of Boggy Creek" than a man who was integrated into the film's inception. (Literally his first on-screen appearance.) Throw in a golden voice....done and done! So happy to welcome back our lo

From hometown sports hero, to Oklahoma City first responder, to FBI agent assisting in the takedown of Enron, to corporate security executive, to Ukraine envoy, to historical preservationist, to documentarian, to...comic book thief? (The dude's done some stuff!

Special Guest: Action Chief's Conan Neutron Aug 11, 2022 01:42:52 Just when you think this guy couldn't put any more insanely impressive items on his resume, he and a rag tag crew of rock-n-roll vets provide us with this gem of a project. As Jon puts it, Action Chief "is what post punk is supposed to be." They are amazeballs and we UTP are so stoked to be among the first to experience them!  We always love catching up with one of our oldest and dearest podc

Special Guests: No-Where Jets Aug 2, 2022 01:14:06 The No-Where Jets have been a Pop-punk staple in Dallas for years.

The windy city is gonna have their hands full with this one! So good! Check out thei

Special Guests: Seal Party Jun 10, 2022 01:06:08 Listeners of the show know Kevin Seal and Chris McGrew as their current incarnation of the Bay Area band, "Seal Party." Some may not be aware  that before they set out to musically conquer the world in the group, "Griddle," they came from the Midwest.  One never knows where conversation is gonna go with these guys. (We dig that!) Join us as we discuss everything from new material, to Mid

UTP/ACS: "Rise of the Zombies" May 27, 2022 01:08:06 We get it all the time. "You guys need to do more B level zombie movie reviews." We are proud to tell you Dandies, that day has come! "Not enough" you say? We know our listeners have refined cinematic palates and wouldn't dream of attempting anything below their standards.  So we brought in a ringer. Enter fellow podcaster and Asylum film aficionado Tressa Slater of The Asylum: case studies p

Special Guest: Short E. Dangerously of Hellzapoppin Circus Sideshow Review May 13, 2022 00:50:40 If it's entertainment you're after, he doesn't come up short.  Aaron Wollin, A.K.A. "Short E. Dangerously," is a world renowned daredevil/circus side show performer who has earned his moniker in spades. You wish you were half the man he is.  Hailing from Hellzapoppin Circus Sideshow, his act and the rest of the show is something to behold. On tour NOW! Check the schedule at Hellzapoppin.

Special Guest: Susan O'Neill Apr 22, 2022 00:58:16 Singer. Songwriter. Multi-instrumentalist. Director. Inspiration. It's hard to know where to start when talking about the charmingly refreshing talent that is Susan O'Neill. An hour certainly doesn't do her justice. (But we think it's more than enough to give you a taste of  just how amazing she is!) We had a wonderful time discussing Susan's wonderful documentary The Space Between, conn

Special Guest: Byron and Jason of Interstellar Overdrive Apr 14, 2022 00:56:14 What does it take to produce an incredible Pink Floyd Experience in a medium sized, yet highly artistic community in the center of America? It takes a team, and they do it WELL! We were super stoked to have Byron Neighbors and Jason Caton of Interstellar Overdrive on the show to help promote their upcoming show on April 22nd at The Blue Note, in Columbia, Missouri. As a long time fan, I can tell y

What comes out? The outstanding work of Young People's Deathkamp's, Andy Stoma. The Ithaca, New York has created an amazing amalgamation of sound and art that

Special Guest: Artey Slick Apr 1, 2022 00:45:36 While we Americans don't always recognize the name, there's no mistaking the voice! Born in Lancashire, England Artey Slick began his musical career as the drummer for the soul band FBI. Following this, Slick rose to fame through his association with the production trio Stock Aitken Waterman. Emerging as a solo artist in the late 80s, he has gone on to sell over 40 million records and top multiple

Special Guest: Andrew McGibbon of The Bonnevilles Mar 25, 2022 01:24:48 How did we not discover the Bonnevilles sooner?? This amazing "garage punk blues" duo has been rocking Northern Ireland since 2009. Damn, they are good! It was such a pleasure to spend some time getting to know the band's front man/ace guitarist Andrew McGibbon.  Along with being a truly gifted artist, Andy's a great story teller. Join us as he shares tales of growing up in Northern Ireland d

Special Guest: Mick Flannery Mar 17, 2022 00:49:12 Mick Flannery is truly a generational talent with an impressive and ever-evolving body of work. Seriously...he's done some super cool shit and keeps producing more! We've wanted to get to know this Irish singer/songwriter for some time and were not disappointed. He could tell us to F*ck Off anytime and we'd still love him!  Had a great time talking about the creative process, current projects

Special Guests: Dungeon Weed Mar 11, 2022 01:32:17 With an incredible response from lovers, and critics alike, the birth of the  Bay Area doom duo Dungeon Weed got ears and minds popping, all over the  world.

We were lucky enough to have Chris and Dave f

Weird Sh*t: 1928 West Plains Dance Hall Explosion Mar 4, 2022 01:03:43 In 1928 calamity struck our former hometown of West Plains, MO when the local dance hall exploded leaving dozens of community members dead or injured and making headlines around the world. To this day, an official explanation for this tragedy has yet to be presented. Theories and legends, however, abound.  When we had Dr. N (Undetermined: Deaths, Disappearances, and Mysteries) on previously,

Special Guest: The Amazing Mr. Lifto returns! Feb 25, 2022 00:49:18 Still need more weird after the last episode? We've got ya covered!

Special Guests: Jon and Matt Feb 16, 2022 01:10:45 What happens when you leave Jon and Matt to their own devices with no guest to keep them in check? To quote Matt: "Definitely our most effed up yet!" Join us as we discuss topics such as: Near death experiences: the custom of the sea; cannibalism; body modification; mutilation...and kittens! (We also offer great parenting advice!) For reals...this one's not for the squeamish!

Special Guest: Justin Pearson of The Locust, Dead Cross, Retox...and more! Jan 28, 2022 01:18:46 Man, he's cool!  What an honor to be joined by The God of Noise, Mr. Justin Pearson.

Special Guest: Conan Neutron returns...again! Jan 21, 2022 01:56:44 Theoretically, alternate realities explore infinite possibilities. But we're pretty sure he's busy in all of them.  Had a great time catching up with Conan Neutron and getting the latest from our old friend. It seems he's kept himself occupied with a project or three. (We're looking forward to all of them!) You definitely want the scoop! But that's not all! We also discuss: Politics...Pandemi

Special Guest: Isaiah Radkey Jan 7, 2022 00:49:32 When you hail from St. Joseph, MO and your first gig as a band is opening for Fishbone, you're off to a good start. When you follow up by playing festivals around the globe and touring with the likes of Jack White, The Damned, and Foo Fighters you're off to an AMAZING start! While it may seem odd to call Radkey veterans of the rock scene at ages when most bands are just getting started, it's hard

Special Guest: David Pastorius Dec 29, 2021 00:55:46 When you've jammed with an eclectic group of musical legends (Tech N9ne, Pat Travers, Carl Palmer and more...), can crash at Robert Trujillo's pad, and have your own amazing band (Local 518), it's pretty safe to assume you've got some serious chops and some great stories!  Sure...being Jaco's nephew makes him a fascinating case study in nature vs. nurture. But we'd think he's cool as hell, re

Special Guest: Trevor Dunn Dec 17, 2021 00:59:08 When your resume includes Mr. Bungle, Electric Masada, Fantômas, Secret Chiefs 3, Melvins, Tomahawk, MadLove, The Nels Cline Singers, Trio-Convulsant, (and more) it’s safe to be considered prolific. What a treat it was to get to know legendary bassist Trevor Dunn! This was a dream guest for us and Trevor definitely didn’t disappoint! Lots of great stories and fascinating perspectives in this one.

Best of 2021 (Part 2) Dec 16, 2021 00:36:18 Hello  Dandies! We hope everyone enjoyed listening to part 1 of "The Best of  2021." However, if you thought that was all encompassing, I hate to tell  you that you're dead wrong. Only because the list of stellar guests we had just kept coming. Each of these three, "best of," episodes contain  some excellent clips from some amazing artists. Keep an eye out for part  three,

Best of 2021 (Part 1) Dec 10, 2021 00:43:24 2021 was a lot of things, but boring was not one of them!  Here at UTP, we thought we'd relive some of our favorite moments with some truly amazing guests.

Special Guest: Byron Huhmann (Knife Crime; Onward Christian Glover) Nov 12, 2021 00:47:27 Knife Crime's front-man Byron Huhmann is kinda weird. (We dig that about him!) He also puts together one Hell of a record (Thanks again, Black Site!) and has a great sense of humor.  We love the Kansas City music scene, so it was an honor to spend some time with such a well established/respected member of it. And while the band's name has other origins, it still feels fitting that Knife Crime

Special Guest: Dr. N (Host of "Undetermined: Deaths, Disappearances, and Mysteries" and "The ForenPsych Files" podcasts.) Nov 5, 2021 01:44:09 When we first learned of another "Undetermined" podcast, the original plan was to sue. Unfortunately, Dr. N has better lawyers than us. So we decided to invite her on instead. What a great surprise to learn we have more in common with Dr. N than just a bad-ass podcast name. Turns out, she's also into cursing and talking about weird shit. (Soooo much weird shit!) We really like that about her! Ghos

Special Guest: Phil "Phildo" Owen Oct 29, 2021 00:59:04 Due to statute of limitations considerations, this six hour episode has been reduced to just over 59 minutes. (But they are quality minutes!) Want the scoop on the new Skatenigs record/tour? (We've got you covered.) Uncle Al stories? (Got 'em!) What huge tour did the band get screwed out of? (Listen to find out!) We are so pumped to welcome back one of the coolest assholes we know! Ladies and gen

Special Guests: Bleed The Victim Oct 22, 2021 00:48:25 What's in the water in Topeka? Much like fellow Topekans Unmerciful, these cats have metal running through their veins!  From putting the band together, to musical influences ('sup Don Henley?), to killer guitarists, to Chiefs football, to excrement related beverages. This one's got it all!   Brett, Alec, and Tyler, are some fun and talented dudes who put together one hell of a band. It

Special Guest: Jason Offutt Oct 15, 2021 01:04:58 Sure, Jason Offutt is a little creepy. But we like that about him! Interested in time travel, ghost stories, UFOs, monsters, and other such mysterious subjects? A fellow Missourian, Jason literally wrote the book on Missouri ghosts. (Along with a prolific number of other books on the supernatural/paranormal/unexplained.) Throw in a few fictional novels and sprinkle it all with a great sense of hum

Special Guest: Patrick Keenan Oct 8, 2021 00:52:38 Slinging the six string for Columbia MO's StoneThrowers is just the tip of the iceberg for this talented dude!

Special Guests: Frogpond Sep 24, 2021 00:53:03 They're back! (And it was so worth the wait!) What a pleasure it was talking to the gang from Kansas City icons Frogpond. Heidi, Justine, Kristin, and Michelle were gracious enough to give us updates on what's new with the band (like an amazing new record...seriously...it's so good!), coy recruitment of new members, stories from the past and thoughts on the present and future.  Some takeaways

Special Guest: Brendan Tallon Sep 16, 2021 01:51:10 Some know him as the front man of Ireland's critically acclaimed Revelino. But these days, Brendan is earning much deserved acclaim on his own. He's a true talent with a passion for music that shines through in the breadth and color of his work. Lucky for us, it comes through in conversation as well!  Whether discussing the evolution of his career, his creative process, his influences and dee

Special Guest: Danny R Phillips Sep 3, 2021 01:25:27 Don't let the villainous looking mustache fool you! He's totally safe. (We think!)  Hanging his hat just north of KC in St. Joseph, MO, Danny is a nationally published music journalist/critic, concert promoter, and collector of musical artifacts. It's safe to say, the guy's got stories.  We've known Danny for a while now and have lost count of mutual friends. So glad we finally had him o

Special Guests: Tony Willis and Cale Bruggeman of Forbidden Place Records/Spider and Bat Merchandise (New and improved episode!) Aug 20, 2021 01:12:00 As Jon likes to say: "Throw a dart and you'll hit a winner with Forbidden Place." If you like it loud, these guys have you covered with more solid acts than we can count! Tony and Cale clearly love what they do, which probably explains why they do it so well. So glad we got to FINALLY catch up with this awesome pair and can't wait to see/hear what they have in store. Turns out they've got some pre

Special Guest: Mike Morasky (Composer; Animator/Visual Effects Artist; Director; Bad-Ass!) Aug 9, 2021 01:19:33 What do underground art bands like Steel Pole Bath Tub and Milk Cult, video game classics such as Left 4 Dead and Portal 2, and visual masterpieces of film such as Lord of the Rings and The Matrix have in common?  The answer?

Special Guests: Kevin Seal and Chris McGrew of Seal Party, Griddle, and more! Jul 30, 2021 01:02:09 Man, these guys are talented and a whole lot of fun! We always have a good time talking to Chris McGrew, so we were thrilled to have him back with his equally entertaining partner in crime, Kevin Seal to talk about their awesome new project Seal Party! (It's so good!) Some seriously great stories in this one, Dandies!  PS - Check out Kevin's game show!: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lofidel

Special Guest: Steve Tulipana of Season to Risk, Kansas City's recordBar, so much more! Jul 23, 2021 00:47:23 Steve Tulipana is one busy guy! Prolific musician (singer, guitarist, bassist best known for his work as front-man for Kansas City's Season to Risk); entrepreneur (co-owner of Kansas City's recordBar, miniBar, and Lemonade Park); and more other stuff than we'd even know how to list here. He's legitimately an institution in KC and we're a little embarrassed that we've taken this long to have him on

Special Guests: They Watch Us From The Moon Jul 16, 2021 01:02:20 If you're like us, you likely suffer from a lack of quality sci-fi/metal/opera projects to kick back with. Fear not Dandies! UTP's got you covered! Shane 13 and Ben White (you know...the killer axe slinger from Godzillionaire and Vedettes) blew our minds giving us the low down on their inspired offering "They Watch Us From the Moon." These guys are as fun as they are talented and if you aren't itc

Special Guest: Monty Colvin of Galactic Cowboys, Monty's Rockcast, Art that Rocks...and more! Jul 7, 2021 01:05:32 Pump up your spacesuits, kids! Monty Colvin is one talented dude. From playing bass for the massively underappreciated band Galactic Cowboys and his solo project Crunchy, to hosting his own podcast, to creating some truly amazing art and hosting his own heavy metal art show (how cool is that??), Monty's done some pretty amazing things in his life.  Who wouldn't want to hear about touring with

Special Guest: Dave Hingerty of Side 4 Collective, the Frames, Josh Ritter....and more! Jun 11, 2021 01:43:36 We're so excited about this one!

He's also the founder of the Side 4 Collective which invites musicians across a wide spectrum to create music with a collection of Dave's drum riffs as a starting point. (It's REALLY cool!) We wer

Special Guest: Coby Ellison (part 2) May 21, 2021 00:41:30 Jon and Matt continue their conversation with this fascinating individual. 

Special Guest: Dick Valentine of Electric Six Returns! May 18, 2021 00:42:59 Dick Valentine is one of those guests who just embodies what UTP is all about. We never know where we are going, but we always have a great time getting there! From lyrics inspired at a Missouri truck stop, to Christopher Walken, to Whitesnake, to Micheal Bolton...you'll just have to listen. Already looking forward to next time. Thanks, Dick!

Special Guest: John Murry May 8, 2021 01:36:39 John Murry marches to the beat of his own drum (which is expertly provided by the incredible Johnny Boyle!) and we couldn't love him more for it. John's an amazing musician with a unique voice in every manner. He's also got some fascinating perspectives, and a great sense of humor. We could seriously talk to this guy for hours and can't wait to have him back on! Welcome to the family, John! (And t

Special Guest: Scott Splawn of The Mad Kings May 2, 2021 00:57:30 Scott and his band have been blowing minds in Lawrence, KS for years! (We're a little embarrassed that it took so long for us to have him on). The guy is fierce with a six-string and a mic! (Really, the whole band is amazing.)  Seriously...if you haven't checked out The Mad Kings, do yourself a huge favor and give 'em a listen.  We had a great time getting to know this truly interesting

Special Guest: Coby Ellison (Part 1) Apr 24, 2021 01:06:45 Coby is one fascinating dude who has lived one Hell of a life! Thanks to (the also amazing) Seven Black for the recommendation! You were right, man. Coby's awesome! Stay tuned for Part 2!!
