The New Scene - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This has easily become my most listened to music podcast. Keith has a way to always connect with the artists on a musical and personal level that’s so genuine. I’ve found many new bands from interviews to ones Keith mentions at the end of every episode. Thanks Keith! <3

Host Keith brings on influential hardcore musicians to interview and discuss their history and recent activity. Keith has a natural rapport with his guests that seems to foster informative, successful interviews. Superfluous jokes and anecdotes are kept to a minimum (thankfully), as Keith does a nice job at staying on topic and keeping the focus on the musician. This was a problem with early episodes with then co-host Tommy, who had a tendency to hijack the conversation with goofy, lengthy anecdotes.

Keith is a great pod host. He asks probing questions, but he’s never pushy or looking for gossip. He shows up as sincere and curious. He lets his guests talk, great balance.

Thank you Keith for this incredible podcast. As someone else who grew up in Bucks County, it’s delightful to hear about familiar places and bands, despite not really getting into heavier music until the early 2000s. I love the thoughtful and intelligent questions you ask guests beyond just the music they create, giving the conversation such an organic flow. I am a newer fan to the show, but when you have guests from Cave In, Sumac, sleepmakeswaves and Rosetta, as well as all the countless name drops of my other favorites, I’m here to stay. Please feel free to bring on more post rock bands in the new year. Be well & take care.
