It's been a long time coming but I finally grabbed Adam Lazzara from Taking Back Sunday for the podcast!  I am thrilled to have this chat with the long running emo/rock band that I don't care who you are...you have absolutely heard "Cute Without The "E" and is now a mainstay at every "emo-night" ever. Adam hung out with me in his backyard and we discussed how influential Lifetime is, playing in unconventional places and his journey with addiction. It's a great chat and I even hold his feet to the fire about a time our bands played together. Enjoy!

"CAN WE RETURN, TO THE GOLDEN AGE?"

One of my favorite bands from a specific era of time called the 2000's, we have Chris McLane from Stretch Arm Strong on the pod this week! I dig in deep to the bands unconventional location (South Carolina), their relationship with Uprising Records (who is also responsible for the Chicago hardcore band, Fall Out Boy) and how they burned themselves out by touring so relentlessly. The icing on this pod-cake as it were is the fact they just released their brand new EP on Iodine Recordings that smokes. Listen to the pod, then listen to the EP and enjoy!

I love when friends do cool stuff. I love when friends are talented. This episode is a one two punch of exactly that. Nathaniel Shannon is a NYC based photographer and you have seen his work...well, everywhere but I specifically had him on the show to discuss a real labor of love and now, it's here...the First Ten Years of St. Vitus. For the uninitiated, St. Vitus is the incredibly important Brooklyn, NY venue responsible for a TON of gigs that you wish you were at. We discuss that book, as well as his upbringing in Detroit as well as an incredibly entertaining Earth Crisis photo shoot we worked together on. Dig in and enjoy!

We have a bonafide LIFER on the podcast today in the form of Steven McDonald who is currently playing with The Melvins and is also a founding member of punk legends Redd Kross. On top of that he also has done a lot of production work with bands including Fun/The Format which I punish him about in this chat. We also discuss growing up in Hawthorne, CA (home of The Beach Boys!) and his time growing up in the 80's punk scene. Pull up a chair and let's hang out!
