Sprogg Compilation Casettes

From Discogs: While in college in the early 1990s, Nick Wilson was the record buyer for Magnolia Thunderpussy and World Record (local record stores in Columbus, Ohio on the campus of Ohio State University.) His friend, graphic designer James Towning, collaborated with Wilson on the creation of both the Sprogg fanzine/magazine and the accompanying compilation tape. Sprogg was intended to be an ongoing project, but both got sidetracked by their day jobs.

Columbus bands include Girly Machine, Martyr Colony, V-3, Pica Huss, Scrawl, Monster Truck Five and Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments.

Alive 2012 Q&A: Artie DeLeon and JD Dallas

Unfortunately, not a whole lot of articles on Dogrocket to share this week, however there is a Columbus Alive interview with guitarist JD Dallas, along with Artie DeLeon of the Media Whores, Martyr Colony, etc., regarding the passing in 2012 of Mark Farmiloe of the Econothugs.

(Dallas) We’re a little bit more mature. We pay a little more taxes. We’re probably not in as many bar fights as we used to be. Not as many. The one thing I heard after that show, the next day there was this silence. Everybody was like, did that really happen? Yeah, it did. And we actually took pictures this time. Everybody was like, I’m so glad there’s more to come because how depressing would it be if that was it? 

(DeLeon) I’m sure there were people who thought this was going to be a traipsing through the past and they were going to go through the motions. But every band that went up there went for the throat. It was totally for the jugular. Every band that went up there just punched everybody in the teeth. And it was succulent and you were showered in it. It was really electric and everybody went bananas for it.
