Barrel Roll! Episode 19 - “Kirby Kracklesode”
On a very special 19th episode of “Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast”, we spend the evening talking to Kyle Stevens and Jim Demonakos of Kirby Krackle. If you are not familiar, they have created the world’s first comic book rock band.
We delve into how the band was formed, their writing process, the new summer single (out on 6/30!), touring at comic conventions, and more!
Then we get into the games. What got Jim and Kyle into gaming, what games influenced the band and what we’re playing now.
Kyle even plays “Villain Song” and “Naked Wii” live on the show. Check it out, then head over to the band’s site and pick up their album. You’ll be glad you did.
Oh, and if you are wondering what was cut, it was a rousing game of chubby bunny. While fun, it turns out people shoving marshmallows in their mouths does not make for great audio. It was a close race and in the end Jim claims he was victorious, though Kyle denies that he actually was able to say “chubby bunny”. This conflict may never be solved.

Jesse "Main Finger" Gregory says:Not being an avid comic reader and having most of the focus on interviewing, I think there really wouldn’t have been any added benefit to me heading down to the recording of this very special episode. Now I don’t have to feel bad about not making it =P
