Dwayne Larson is back in the hosting chair this week with an episode he recorded with Brad (vocals/guitar) and Cory (guitar) of Ontario emo/alt-rockers Safe to Say when they were in town last month. They talk about their new record, being part of the Warped Tour, the rigours of touring, using their influence to stand up for their values and much more. As with some of our other 'recorded wherever we can' episodes, the audio on this one isn't exactly studio-quality (literally recorded on the band's bus while it was running), but it's a solid conversation and a good listen. ...
It's a quick chat with Ian Lodewyks about Friday’s #internationalclashday [tribute to Joe Strummer and The Clash](http://www.facebook.com/events/2197286800373150/[text](http://)) at the West End Cultural Centre. The show features Ian’s Clash tribute band, Guns of Wolseley (with a lot of other familiar faces), plus a Crackdown reunion, [Death Cassette](http://witchpolice.com/e/wr431-death-cassette-37ddbd8e45c9c0/) and [MOSA](http://www.facebook.com/mosawinnipeg/). It’s a deep dive into the long history of the Strummer tribute gigs, as well as the continued importance of “the only band that matters”, especially in times of unrest in the world. The music on this episode comes from live UMFM sessions by both [Guns of Wolseley](http://umfm.com/events/live-sessions/artist/guns-of-wolseley) and [Death Cassette](http://umfm.com/events/live-sessions/artist/death-cassette-the-clash).

Our guest this week was Damian Purdy, whose excellent album as Ripping Hammer has been consistently popular here on Witchpolice and is one of my personal favourite recordings on the entire site. Download it. Seriously. It's great. This week also marked the first four-host episode, with the original three (me, Rob and Jon) back together again alongside our guest. Expect more of this, as we're moving from a "guests sometimes" format to a "guests every episode" format. ...
