Hi, welcome to “As an Artist.” A Local Famous Records podcast about local artists, their art, the creative process and the local scene. My name is Anthony Sosa and thank you for joining us. On this episode we have my longtime friend and bandmate Garrett Bond. Garrett and I have known each other for over 20 years and have played in multiple projects together. I’m excited to finally get him on and have a great conversation. We cover all sorts of things like his musical influences and getting into playing music. We talk about Denton in the mid 2000’s and his joining The Raven Charter and eventually his other projects over the years, including Crown Lucia, 411 and most recently Double Bear and Temporal Distortions. He also gives us a run-down of his bass collection. Always fun and kick-ass, I introduce to you Garrett Bond.

On this episode we have Eric Lara, Moose Mora and Johnny Hill from the epic, local, heavy progressive band Wolves Reign. I’ve actually had the pleasure of playing with Wolves Reign back in the day with The Raven Charter at Tomcats West and it was great to get to know these guys, their past and how they tick. Last year they released their first full length album: “Human Nature.” A meaningful, beautiful and hard hitting record recorded with Alex Gerst. I really enjoyed talking to Eric, Moose, and Johnny about their processes and influences and how they all met at college and how though there have been changes over the years, these guys have been playing together the whole time. Eleven years and counting. We talk about what that means to them, as well as get into some gear talk and a bit about the making of the album. I hope you enjoy this conversation and at the end of the podcast you can experience Wolves Reign and sample 2 songs from their new record:
A World With No Risk (01:10:30), and
Deer Lord (01:16:55) , so stick around at the end.

He has been involved in many projects over the years including I am Warbird, Problem Dog, Temporal Distortions, Double Bear, and recently has been working on an EP for his new project Gleek as well as painting commissioned murals and pieces all over the US. In this episode we get pretty heady and philosophical in regards to the creation, meaning and purpose of art in relation to ourselves and in society.

At the end of the podcast is the song “Action Saxon” by I am Warbird released in 2014.
