  4. The Backline Podcast - EP. 23: Digital

    All 3 of the songs we’ve released this Summer were demoed on digital gear. However, the final product that you hear was on our usual, physical, analog equipment. We’ve done a lot of work on our digital setup. Does it make the cut to be on a final recording, or possibly make it on stage with us?...

  5. The Backline Podcast - EP. 22: "No More"

    “No More is about my love/hate relationship with music.” A song for entrepreneurs, artists, creators, small business owners, etc. - anyone who is trying to make a positive mark on the world pursuing their purpose - and going through the ups and downs in pursuit of "success." With blunt,...

  6. The Backline Podcast - EP. 21: AI

    AI is everywhere, including in music. A quick episode for you this month but a fun one! With the continued rise of AI, this may not be our last episode on this topic.

  7. The Backline Podcast - EP. 20: Milestone Episode

    Did you know that 90% of podcasts don't get past episode 3? Of the remaining 10%, 90% don't make it to episode 20. Well guess what, we made it and we have YOU all to thank! More data we found interesting was that to be in the top 1%, we only need to make it to episode 21. So that’s our next goal…

  8. The Backline Podcast - EP. 19: "Dead to You"

    “Dead to You” is the debut single from Trey’s solo project. The song dropped at midnight on March 30th of this year. The song is very different from anything Mile 134 related. Tune in for a special Q & A as we discuss the meaning behind the song, how it was written, the entire “Do-It-Yourself”...

  10. The Backline Podcast - EP. 17: Riffs

    Ever wonder how we come up with our riffs? As you’ll learn through listening to our music, our riffs and how they “feel” are the backbone of our songs and sound. Most of our riffs are actually co-created, and are brought to life through process. From riffs that were going to be tossed to finding...

  11. The Backline Podcast - EP. 16: Takes All Kinds

    Elitists, gatekeepers, a$$ kissers, etc…in music? In any aspect of life, you will find there are people who adopt the “holier than thou,” or “end all, be all” mindset. Is it ego driven? Some sort of complex? What may it be? To each their own I guess. We are never really sure where this comes from...

  12. The Backline Podcast - EP. 15: Finding Your Tone

    In this episode, we talk about finding your tone. (Well, once you get through the intro banter about the history of sriracha and other sauces…) As a musician, tone and your sound are ALWAYS aspects you are going to be evolving and chasing. We know because over our almost decade-span of playing…

  13. The Backline Podcast - EP. 14: GEAR

    Gear - every musician loves talking about gear. Can you have too much gear? Can you use cheap gear? Do you need top of the line gear? We’ve had it all - everything from gear that was passed along to us, gear that was stolen, sacred gear that was destroyed in a house fire, and even some brand new...

  14. The Backline Podcast - EP. 13: Pet Peeves

    Here on The Backline Podcast, we don’t hold back. *DISCLAIMER* These are our opinions and views based off of our experiences and journey. For some, this may be a controversial episode, or slightly triggering, but we are telling it like it is from our point-of-view. In this episode, we talk about...

  16. The Backline Podcast: EP. 11 - Discography Series: The "Singles" FINALE

    Mile 134 releasing singes started back pre-COVID and since then, we have released single after single…after single. It’s been effective in terms of saving money, and also keeping our music fresh. Tune in to hear us talk about each of our singles, and read on below where we dive real deep into…

  17. The Backline Podcast: EP. 10 - Discography Series: "The Hour: Chapter One"

    When people ask what we sound like, this is the release we tell them to check out. Full fledged aggression and angst, this release is, in our opinion, our BEST. The emotion captured in our “Double-Single” release is what makes us so proud of it. The release features a song that first got radio...

  18. The Backline Podcast: EP. 9 - The Trembling Giant

    Local music is a wonderful thing. It allows us to not only express ourselves and entertain, but you meet so many great people, and create lifelong bonds and connections throughout your journey. We met Justin (aka The Trembling Giant) at one of our favorite local venues’ “Thirsty Thursday Series”...

  19. The Backline Podcast: EP. 8 - Discography Series: "Micromanager"

    Raw, simple, slightly aggressive, with a hint of angst… Micromanager was the first release as an OFFICIAL 2-piece, as many of the songs off the previous album were written with a third member in mind for ideas. The release contained some darkness, as it was our first endeavor after the traumatic...

  20. The Backline Podcast: EP. 7 - Discography Series: "Sinner"

    Tune in to hear everything about our only full length album! This release was also our first release as a new, 2-piece band. We talk about how the songs came to be, the process (or lack of) of being unprepared, what NOT TO DO from our experiences, and more. This is a public episode. If you'd like...

  21. The Backline Podcast: EP. 6 - Discography Series: "New Wave Demos"

    Tune in to hear us talk about the inspiration behind our first songs EVER written! These songs are no longer distributed anywhere - we had them all removed! We talk about how the songs came to be, the meaning behind the songs, the members of Mile 134 at the time, and more about the early stages…

  22. The Backline Podcast - EP. 3: Becoming a 3-piece band?

    Mile 134 has always been a 2-piece. Briefly under a “separate name,” we were once actually a 3-piece. Having experience with each variation of members, there are pros and cons to both. The logistics of scheduling and working with two people versus three is a definite bonus. You’d think that two...

  23. The Backline Podcast - EP. 2: Covers (Suck...or do they?)

    Playing covers was how we got our start and got our name out there. We started finding covers we like and implementing those into our sets to see what we could get away with. We started getting recognized for our variety and cover choices - this “curse” has since haunted us. We get asked to play...

  24. The Backline Podcast - EP. 5: Studio Time - What Works?

    Looking back, I don’t think any of our musical releases were ever recorded in the same style or manner. From live-tracking, to click tracks, to programmed drums and guitars, to DIY home studio recordings, we’ve done it all. Tune in to hear what has worked for us, and the experiences in every...

  25. The Backline Podcast - EP. 4: POV (ft. Ryley Hartwig)

    We talk about our favorite parts about music, Ryley gives us an insight on acting versus playing live shows, our favorite bass players (yes, we do like bass players!), and more. Ryley occasionally joins us for a song or two during our sets, but tune in to hear his FULL show experience - from load...

  26. The Backline Podcast - EP: 1 Introduction

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Introduction Episode of our new endeavor called, “The Backline Podcast.” This is something that we have talked about - especially on our Twitch channel - for quite some time. We finally decided we just need to DO IT and stop waiting around for the “right” time....
