EP171 WINDWAKER
On this week's episode Jess was flying solo as she was joined by lead singer Liam of a little band you might recognize from Australia called Windwaker, not to be confused with Wind Walkers which happens quite a lot according to Liam. Conversations with bands from Australia are always fun and full of energy! Needless to say this one was fantastic from start to finish! Jess and Liam chatted about so much, including Windwaker's new record smile, you're on camera which comes out October 23rd. During their conversation they discussed how Liam goes about writing vocals, the growth the band has gone through over the years, they dive deep into the meaning behind some of the songs on the new record and of course in true JAMXP fashion went on a few little tangents along the way. All that being said we hope you enjoy the conversation Jess had with Liam of Windwaker as much as she did!

EP158 RUFIO
Before we get started, we want to apologize for the audio quality in this episode. Our guest experienced ongoing internet connection issues during the recording, causing freezing, intermittent audio glitches. Unfortunately, the connection was too unstable for us to fully fix these issues in editing without losing large portions of the conversation. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we hope you'll stick with us because this was a great conversation worth sharing, glitches and all. All that being said... On this week's episode, we were joined by Guitarist Clark Domae of the band Rufio who you may or may not remember from the early 2000s! We had a blast chatting with him about their re-record of their song Dipshit, they're new EP that's coming out August 7th, some of the inspiration behind a few of the songs on the EP, and whether or not Rufio is making a comeback! There was never a dull moment throughout the conversation, and of course, in true JAMXP fashion, we got slightly sidetracked here and there. Don't worry, though... the tangents were just as entertaining as the interview itself! Maybe you're already a fan of Rufio and follow them on Instagram or TikTok, or maybe this is your first introduction to them. Either way, be sure to check Rufio out on all your favorite social media platforms and streaming services. All that being said we hope you enjoy the conversation we had with Clark of Rufio as much as we did.
