And, Aaaggghh, I thought I was HIDING my Superchunk influence, but Liz found me out! Listen to the end of track 5 on Rock Alone, Here On Out, for my ode to a certain chunk’s guitar solos. Haha.
Liz swears “Shapeshiftin Demon” (by @minorcanmusic.bsky.social) - which we played on our recent show - channels a seedier #Superchunk vibe. Sean disagrees. 🤣 Either way, we heartily agree that the part of the song where it goes from quiet to loud is incredible.

Love this show! I have found so much great music thanks to Sean & Liz!
In our most recent episode, we played the song, “Shapeshiftin Demon” by minorcan. The song appeared on Ryan’s 4th album, ‘Rock Alone’ - which was written, recorded, and produced in a basement in Asheville, NC in 2024.

Damn, this episode, a must listen, especially if you’re a songwriter or other underground artist. Keep creating, keep loving.
Your job today is to find five people, get them into a room, force them to listen to this while you stare intently from the corner. Set a stopwatch and in 90 second intervals say just loud enough to be audible “it’s good, right?” Try not to blink.

“The MINORCAN sound is a proposal maybe best described as a punk meets heartland rock bred adventure but one that by the song reveals further essences in its make-up such as alt and indie rock...Truthfully though, Rock Alone is basically a vehicle for thick individuality and organic rock ‘n’ roll.”

Though poised to release a fourth album maybe for many an introduction is needed to US band MINORCAN. Based in Asheville, NC, this is a project created by Ryan Anderson in 2010 after having already…

Rock Alone is bold and abrasive, a record that does not take shit from anybody. The sound is murky, but that is by design. Anderson doesn't do pretty. He is a rocker, who makes his guitar scream and howl as he strangles the neck of his instrument.
