Justin Nardy is the owner and founder of Expert Work Records, an independent label that seeks out unreleased material of defunct bands, and releases them for both old and new fans to enjoy. Justin has made a career in music, playing in many bands such as Sooprize Package, Amputee Set, Bald Eagle, New Tongues, and his current project, Twenty One Trillion.

Sweetheart were one of the key post-hardcore acts on the underground scene of Ohio. Before breaking up in 2005, the band recorded one LP and an EP that never saw the light. Until now. On February 2nd, 2024, Expert Work Records released these records.

First, there is the single track EP ‘The Process Of Making Us Well', which is the longest piece of music ever recorded by Sweetheart. Then, there is the full album, 'The Unbearable Tightness Of Being'.

We spoke to Justin about his extensive career in music, covering a wide array of the bands he has been in, the labels he has worked with, Expert Work Records, his relationship with Sweetheart, the interest in releasing these forgotten records, and so much more.

The GBHBL Whiplash - Episode 395: Justin Nardy - Owner/Founder - Expert Work Records Interview

Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life bring you an interview with vocalist Benjamin Fordham of trap/metal band Swarm6ix.

New Swedish rock trio The Gems – featuring ex-Thundermother members vocalist Guernica Mancini, drummer Emlee Johansson and guitarist/bassist Mona “Demona” Lindgren – rose from the ashes with their debut album, Phoenix, released on January 26, 2024, via Napalm Records.

Featuring a mammoth 16-tracks, Phoenix is a statement of an album that shows a united group at the heights of their talents. Focusing on delivering anthemic rock tunes that are filled with heart and soul, but delivering thumping drumbeats, massive riffs, and epic vocals all the way through.

We spoke to drummer Emlee and guitarist/bassist Mona about the new album, about making The Gems a force in the rock world, breaking away from the Thundermother name, the desire to play live as much as possible, and so much more.

The GBHBL Whiplash - Episode 393: Ryan Liatsis (Guitarist, Music Educator and Composer) Interview

Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life bring you an interview with vocalist Benjamin Fordham of trap/metal band Swarm6ix.

Swarm6ix will release their new single ’LIP$TICK’ on the 19th January 2024.

SWARM6IX provide a safe space for those that have always appeared anti-social, dormant, and introverted on the surface. The band acquired their unique identity by combining a love for heavy trap and metal music and stand strongly for the freedom of expression within art. SWARM6IX execute a sound somewhere between Ghostemane and Emmure, yet simultaneously evoke nostalgia and familiarity. Adding a sprinkle of modern nu-metal, SWARM6IX have their red beam set to storm the scene with everything they have in their artillery and will not be stopped.
