Ep. 86 - The Dirty Nil
This week, I’m thrilled to welcome Luke Bentham and Kyle Fisher of The Dirty Nil — a band I’ve been championing since their explosive debut hit my ears back in 2016. We go way beyond the music to talk about their almost 20-year journey as bandmates and childhood friends, their beginnings with basement jams, and their shared love for blistering riffs and emotional resonance.
If you're into authentic rock stories, deep musical dives, and the spirit of DIY grit, this one's for you.

Ep. 85 - Nirvana - In Utero
After a short break and a brand-new studio setup, we’re turning our focus to one of the most powerful albums of the 90s — In Utero by Nirvana. This episode unpacks the raw energy, rebellious spirit, and creative fire that fueled Kurt Cobain’s final masterpiece. From the thunderous Steve Albini production to the chaotic brilliance of “Scentless Apprentice” and the unforgettable visuals of “Heart-Shaped Box,” this is a full-blown nostalgia trip through a record that shook the world. Plus, I share personal memories of hearing these songs as a teen and what they meant back then — and still mean today.

Ep. 84 - Rome Ramirez
On this episode of Waterproof Records, I sit down with Rome Ramirez—the voice behind Sublime with Rome, collaborator with The Dirty Heads, and a musical force embarking on a brand new chapter of his career.
Rome opens up about his journey from growing up in Northern California to becoming a central figure in Sublime’s legacy. We talk about the moment he discovered Sublime’s self-titled album, what that record meant to him as a kid, and how it changed the trajectory of his life.
But we go deeper than music—we talk about the hustle of LA, fatherhood, what inspires him now as a solo artist, and the joys (and challenges) of passing down our musical obsessions to our kids.
This is one of the most heartfelt, honest, and inspiring conversations we’ve had yet. Let’s go!
