Tonight on The Lost State Show, Drew and I get into some heavy stuff on our minds before breaking down the punk and hardcore touring world, including the shocking Turnstile situation. Former guitarist Brady Ebert is facing attempted murder charges after allegedly running over singer Brendan Yates' father. We also talk about the new Converge album announcement that dropped on April Fool's Day. We then get into some of the gear industry's April Fools jokes, and then land on more of a main topic, the Record Store Day debate. Does it still serve independent music, or has it become a major label cash grab? and two local angles from Portland and Philly that hit close to home.THE LOST STATE SHOW is a weekly livestream at 4 pm Mondays covering music industry news, gear, production, and conversations with working musicians and audio professionals.Hosted by Trey (Lost State Studios) and Drew (@RealNotGood).

Drew and I (Trey) dig into what happened to the local music scene, why the pipeline from small local band to something bigger seems to have disappeared, and whether streaming, venue closures, and the pressure to commodify everything killed the joy of just playing music. We share stories from their own scenes growing up in California and Pennsylvania, talk about bands they knew that went somewhere and ones that didn't, and get into what success actually means when the industry metrics don't reflect reality.Join us live on YouTube Monday at 4 pm PST for gear talk, music industry commentary, and your questions in chatTHE LOST STATE SHOWWeekly livestream covering music industry news, gear deep-dives, and the business side of music.

In today's show, we break down the recent controversy behind the cancellation of Punk in the Park's 2026 festival lineup, what actually happened, how it unfolded, and what it says about punk culture in 2026. Cameron Collins built some of punk's biggest festivals from the ground up, including Punk In Drublic with Fat Mike, Punk in the Park, and more. Then a $225 Trump donation blew it all up. We break down the full story: who Collins is, how it came out, why bands kept signing on after the controversy was already public, and whether any of it actually matters in a world where Live Nation and Facebook donated millions to the same campaign.Join us live on YouTube Monday at 4 pm PST for gear talk, music industry commentary, and your questions in chatTHE LOST STATE SHOWWeekly livestream covering music industry news, gear deep-dives, and the business side of music.

We talked with A. Nathan Scott, a NYC-based composer, producer, and Twitch streamer, discusses his journey from playing bass in rural Colorado to building a sustainable freelance music career producing musical acts and commercial work, including video game scoring and more.Alex grew up in his dad's recording studio (his dad is a 6 time Grammy nominated artist), started bass at 11, and went full-time in music by 2010. He answered a Craigslist ad for a touring funk band and within months, was on the road playing a jazz fest in New Orleans. At his peak, he was doing 260 shows a year, working with 40+ different artists, covering everything from country gigs to Sublime tribute tours. He couldn't say no to work. Eventually, burnout hit.This is an honest look at what it takes to make a living in music, not the romanticized version, but the actual grind, pivots, and business decisions that keep you working.Follow A.

Welcome back to The Lost State Show! Drew and I dive into the biggest stories in music, gear, and the industry. This week, we’re talking about Fender’s revival of SUNN amplifiers and the jaw-dropping price tags that come with them. SUNN amps are legendary, having pioneered heavy tones in the 60s and 70s, used by everyone from The Who and Neurosis to the band SUNN O))). These are true icons for guitarists. But Fender just announced their return with prices starting at $3,500–$4,000+, in this economy, while musicians are struggling, and vintage SUNN heads still sell for less on the used market.Join us live on YouTube Monday at 4 pm PST for gear talk, music industry commentary, and your questions in chatTHE LOST STATE SHOWWeekly livestream covering music industry news, gear deep-dives, and the business side of music.

In this podcast episode, we explore the growing frustration among bands and artists over the increasingly common practice of merch cuts. These are percentages taken by venues (often larger ones) out of the earnings bands make from selling their own merchandise during shows. For many artists, especially smaller and mid level touring bands, merch sales are a vital source of income that helps cover touring expenses like gas, lodging, and crew pay.We’ll explore how these merch cuts work, often ranging from 10% to 30% of gross sales, and how this disproportionately affects independent artists who already operate on tight margins. We also discuss how major companies, including promoters, venue operators, and multi conglomerates like Live Nation and AEG, contribute to this exploitative practice, taking money from the bands that bring fans to their venues. Through firsthand stories and analysis, we shed light on why this issue has sparked outrage across the music industry and discuss the broader implications for artists' financial sustainability on tour.Source audio in podcast:"How Merch Cuts Are Hurting Bands | Punk Rock MBA Podcast Clips."
