Steve Meketa (Lockweld, Apt 213, Meketa Power Electronics) joins us today for a raucous discussion on his noise and PE path.

In Conversation with Ross Snyder of Saturn’s Core
Today we take another look at the “extra” of Noisextra with Ross Snyder of the Saturn’s Core movie label. The movies that Saturn’s Core release run parallel to the DIY noise underground of yore… in this case its the DIY shot-on-video homemade movie underground of the 90s. Home dubbed tapes, zines, mail order, and regional scenes all come into play with Ross’s story. It’s a great discussion on a world that may not be familiar to some listeners, but well worth visiting.
