In this episode, JimOA and I got an opportunity to chat with legendary musician and film director, Steve Taylor. He is a pioneer of Christian new wave/post-punk music and has had a major influence on me and so many others throughout his career over the past 45 years. He is known for his satirical social commentary, clever lyrics and rapid-fire vocal delivery. This is part one of our conversation so please join us and listen as we talk about his music career from the post-punk perspective. Thanks for joining us!

In this episode, JimOA and I sat down for an enchanting chat with Jonathan “Jono” Womack of the Newcastle Upon Tyne, one-man project Citizens of YEAH! I was immediately pulled in by the warm, intimate vocals and indie post-punk ambiance. The production is rich with an edge of experimentalism and lives up to the self-described, “Recorded in a bedroom, for listening in stadiums.” Don’t forget to support this project and follow Citizen of YEAH! on Instagram, Facebook, Apple Music, YouTube and Spotify. If you enjoy the music, PLEASE consider becoming a supporter on Bandcamp. If you like Radiohead, The Smiths. Pavement, Blur, Pixies, And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, and The Go-Betweens, you will enjoy the music of Citizens of YEAH! Thanks for joining us!

Jono’s previous band was Beever. Beever morphed into guvdaan and then finally into Youth of America. Here is a link to the “internet vintage” guvdaan website

This episode is part two of the conversation Jim Anderson and I had with Steve Scott. Steve is a legendary yet obscure musician and artist who played an essential role in the integration of new wave music and art in the church in the late 70’s and early 80’s. His unique musical style and vision has had a profound effect on many. Please follow the links in the show notes to check out Steve’s albums and spoken word projects. If you enjoy Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, The Associates, The Comsat Angels and other early new wave/post-punk acts, you should check out his music and poetry. Thanks for joining us!
