View From Below #43 - Spencer Pries of Scoped Exposure!

Scoped Exposure is a collective based out of Calgary with the goal of showing what the Western Canadian music scene has to offer. Join them in celebrating their 2 year anniversary show September 28th. Spencer and I discuss the grind that is Scoped Exposure; from the group dynamic, to traveling, memories, current and past bands, and much more. We share our views on building a strong community, and the importance of all roles within it, and highlight some special people who were inspirational in the initiative Spencer has been taking. 


Keep up with Scoped Exposure online by subscribing to the Youtube channel, liking the FB page, and following on IG! 


(I apologize about the audio, for the time being this is the easiest way to have guests on.)

View From Below #42 - Paul (Ridley) Marshall on Training to Wrestle

This week I finally got around to doing an episode Paul and myself have wanted to do since he started training to become a wrestler. 


Paul has played in various hardcore acts from around the southern Ontario music scene, competes as a power lifter, and is now trying something new. Training under impact wrestling talent Josh Alexander, Paul is in the process of working out his character, conditioning, and in ring style and is eagerly awaiting his first official match. Also, listen ti Prison because they were great!
