Uncharted Riffs with Josh Dixon and Nick Buxton

Uncharted Riffs are back with another fun-filled episode, this time with the grunge-gaze Connecticut outfit Splitview. Following the release of their debut EP back in April, band member Erik goes into details about their adventures as an upcoming band, the developments into the local live scene and the hope to get back into the studio. Also Nick was incredibly ill, so that definitely added some much-needed silliness.Splitview Instagram - splitview.ctSplitview Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/artist/3ZjcTj1vxM9i0f7QDfRPuZ?si=kjXl95RMTHau5Z6EQBJ5yAUncharted Riffs Instagram - unchartedriffsFavourite Live Show - Toad's Place, Skatepark Festival or the Monumental Merch Stage at Shoreline Summer FestivalPerfect Song Mashup:Lyrics - Light Leaks Through (Tigers Jaw)Vocals - ...hospice (Static Dress)Guitar Riff - Sponge (Superheaven)Drum/Bass - You Could Be Mine (Guns N Roses)Uncharted Song - The Great Divide (Ghost Trader)

Following the release of their debut full-length album 'BUZZARD' back in May, Austin goes into details about its success, varying musical styles and the future of the band. If it's silliness you're looking for, discussions about dive bar culture, offensively strong alcoholic drinks and a major tangent into suburban Michigan structural integrity will hopefully mitigate that need.Potionseller Instagram - potionsellermiPotionseller Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/artist/3UL7CUnASj1xKh8Hwx538n?si=YDK0FEFfRGmFl5onFTRw-gUncharted Riffs Instagram - unchartedriffsFavourite Live Show - Packed house show at The Potato Sack in Kalamazoo, MI.Perfect Song Mashup:Lyrics - Messes of Men (mewithoutyou)Vocals - Aaron Gillespie (Underoath)Guitar Riff - 96 Quite Bitter Beings (CKY)Drum/Bass - Brandon Blakely (Hot Mulligan)Uncharted Song - Tuxedo (Ditz)
