Episode 11…the episode so big it became 2 episodes. This week, part one of our lengthy interview with the oft-referred to (in this podcast at least) Trevor William Church, the brainchild behind Beastmaker, Haunt, and a bunch of other very cool metal projects.
We talk about sparkling water and sparkling weed, how Trevor got started, growing up the son of Electric Bill Church, bass player for Montrose, Sammy Hagar, and more. He then misses an amp delivery (but gets the footswitch at least). “Hey guys…I think a half-stack just arrived at my door”. Trevor got an endorsement from ENGL…and they sent him some goodies. We dig some info out of him on amp setups for recording…great details for superfans.
We listened to the first batch of submissions, and we have a side chat about how much info you give out on your Bandcamp page about your music. Should you call your music “mesmerizing” or “experimental”…what if you aren’t? Also, Trevor comes up with a brilliant band name…Surrounded by Cockstones.

We wrap up with Night Closing in off of Hysteria’s first album (Hysteria is Trevor’s collaboration with Jake Nunn from Hellfire) because it’s rad as hell. Stay tuned next week for part 2…the merch table, my our weird Bandcamp selection, and the last 3 submissions. It’s insane! Trevor may or may not show off basses from his dad’s collection, including the P bass he used to record with Van Morrison, Montrose, and more.
