Noshows … Music That Doesn’t Suck [Episode 201]

In this episode, we sit down with Max Satow, the artist behind NOSHOWS, to explore the genre-blending sound and deeper mission behind his music. Fusing elements of alt-rock, hip-hop, and electronic textures, Max creates music that’s as emotionally raw as it is sonically dynamic. His upcoming EP, The Fear, dives into personal experiences and modern anxieties, drawing from his own lifestyle shifts and the uncertainties of his generation.

We talk about the origins of his artist name, the power of live performance, and how building a music career in the NYC scene takes equal parts hustle, connection, and vulnerability. Max opens up about his advocacy work through “Magnify the Mind,” a mental health-focused community he founded to support those navigating anxiety, and how that mission feeds directly into his songwriting. And of course, we had to laugh about the biggest truth in music: after all the effort, promotion, and networking, it still comes down to one simple rule—make sure the music doesn’t suck!! 😂

Listen now to hear how Max is transforming fear, reflection, and real-life grit into a sound that connects.
