Radio Free Krypton interviews More Or Les

I’m nearly two weeks late with this one. If only I had a blue time-traveling police box…

Anyway, More Or Les joined hosts Mitchell, Justin and Jacob of Radio Free Krypton to talk about the good Doctor (Who?), comics, and hip hop.

100% Bandcamp recommends More Or Les

Turns out there’s this interesting French blog called 100% Bandcamp that appears to exclusively lists composed of music compiled from Bandcamp. The most recent post is the second part of their list of 20 albums on Bandcamp to hear before the end of the year. At least I think that’s the translation.

More Or Les on CBC Radio 3’s Top 103 Songs of 2016

Last week CBC Music posted CBC Radio 3’s Top 103 Songs of 2016, and two Backburner songs made the cut. At #45 is Swamp Thing with “Wild Things” from their album Pray to Science released on Urbnet, and at #31 is More Or Les with “Cuppa,” the first single from his Hand’Solo Records-released album Blow the Fuck Up But Stay Humble.

Thank you to the Editorial Staff who contributed to the creation of this list… It’s a great list and these songs are in great company.

Geek Music Podcast interviews More Or Les

More Or Les returns to Geek Music Podcast on Fandomania.com for his second encounter with Chad Walker to discuss the big issues: the suckage of 2016, the monetization of art (or not), corporate controlled media, net neutrality, politics, and of course, Dr Who and comics.

Geek Music Podcast interviews Thomas Quinlan (that’s me!)

Last week I recorded a podcast with Chad Walker for his Geek Music Podcast on Fandomania.com, and we talked about the early years of Hand’Solo Records, sex raps, physical media, politics, fandoms, and the many origins of the Hand’Solo name. The interview went live this week. It’s an hour of great listening! And I swear my voice isn’t annoying at all… Check it out!
