Oxymorrons

This week, we're scratching The Itch for gratitude! Once again, we had a record number of interview episodes in 2025, and we're treating you to a true buffet of bonus clips from them with our annual Leftovers episode. Enjoy them while you recover from Thanksgiving, while you celebrate (or mourn) your football team's performance, or while you shop (or don't, which we love even more). Thank you so much to all of this year's guests, and to you for joining us for the ride. Enjoy. Listen to The Itch ...

This week, we're scratching The Itch to bring back the boys! Oxymorrons return for the first time since 2023 to tell us all about their new EP, Create. Destroy. Rebuild. Repeat. Life is very different for Dee, Jafe, and K.I. since their last appearance on the show, but they never cease to apply their lessons learned to their art and to their lives, or to share them with anyone who's willing to listen. As always, our conversation with the guys exists in the sweet spot where depth and humor meet, ...

This week, we're scratching The Itch to get educated! Shiprocked sails along, we bring you the second part of the 2022 conversation that introduced us to Oxymorrons . And this is where it gets serious (while somehow remaining silly). Dee, KI, Jafe, and Matty dive deep on the authentic vs the performative, the futility of social media, the cheapening of art as content, and putting Black faces in rock spaces. Plus, Dan makes a new comic geek buddy, Aaron gives a guest homework, and we're bringing ...

This week we're scratching The Itch to ... not be here! The boys are back on a boat enjoying Shiprocked , but while we're out partying with Oxymorrons , we thought we'd post a pair of throwback episodes to when we first met them three years ago, kicking off a genuine friendship. This two-part conversation remains quite possibly our all-time favorite. And when you listen, you'll understand why. Enjoy. If you like what you hear, you can hear more of us every Sunday night broadcasting rock to the m...

Welcome to the uprising! While we get some much-needed rest after a wild weekend at Upheaval , we found some fun snippets from our interview series to tide you over until our recap. You’ll hear the crazy story of why Alfonso from Heartsick missed our initial interview attempt, get some insight into the busy lives of the Oxymorrons as they prepare to release their debut album, catch a preview of a future conversation topic with Eva Under Fire , and take a peek behind the scenes as Black Note Graf...

Welcome to the uprising! All four of 2022 Upheaval performers and notably pretty punk boy band Oxymorrons join us this week for our second conversation. Our first interview, in January 2022, was somehow one of the funniest and deepest chats we've ever had, and this doesn't disappoint as a follow-up. As they prepare to release their first full LP, Melanin Punk , they've got plenty to say about the creative process, keeping fans' expectations changing, and how to be unapologetically authentic in a...

This week, we're scratching The Itch for gratitude! We've put together a collection of short bonus clips from each of our 2022 interviews as a way to reflect on all the fun we've had learning from and about people in the music world. And we're not even done with our interviews for the year! Stick around til the end to get a sneak peek of who's to come. Happy holidays, Itch listeners! We appreciate you so much, and we hope you enjoy this clipisode. If you like what you hear, you can hear more of ...

This week, we're scratching The Itch... to learn. We had a great time laughing in the first part of our interview with the most electrifying band in alt entertainment, Oxymorrons . The laughs continue in the second half, but the conversation takes some turns into rich discussions about performance vs authenticity, the "freedom" of social media, the struggle of being a POC band, and existence as resistance. If you're down with a crash course in Justice 101, this episode is for you. And if you're ...

This week, we're scratching The Itch to be outnumbered! We're kicking off the new year and the new season with our first ever interview... with an entire band. Oxymorrons are a four-piece alternative band from Queens, and they bring as much energy to a conversation as they do to the stage. Tune in for an incredibly fun conversation that includes anime, nicknames, guilt trips, Chuck Berry, a $9 orange juice, and a pizza that looked like Texas... and this is just part one! Pull up... keep up if yo...
