Today we welcome Stefan and Steve from the band Pup! We hung out in the van before their recent sold out NYC show and chatted about the Canadian scene, their amazing and inventive videos, hockey, because it’s required by Canadian law, and their first true music loves.
A true road dog of the punk scene that shows no signs of stopping playing 250 shows a year. Don’t miss em the next time they come into your town.

Read MoreToday we welcome Josh Brigham and Adam Morgan from Hopesfall. I got to see this band when they first started and been friends with them ever since. I was so happy to hear about their recent news of reissuing vinyl and new music. Josh, Adam and I discuss the reasons behind the return, what’s in store for the future, embarrassing stories and the eras Hopesfall went through and what they learned. Plenty of inside jokes and laughs in this one for everyone to enjoy. If you haven’t heard the band and want a starting point, check out Magnetic North or No Wings to Speak Of EP.

I lived in the upper peninsula of Michigan my whole life, spent most of my time with my dad, and worked in the family business. Then I moved to Lansing, and that was my first step in making a life of my own. I stopped seeing my family every day and it's harder for us to keep in touch now, but I still get an occasional update on how they're doing. It's good to know they're okay without me, but I wish I could spend more time with them before they're gone. This song is a reflection on that, how I'm afraid of what I'm missing out on, and how terrifying it is to know I might not have the chance to see some of those closest to me again. This one's for my brother, Duke.” – Tades Sanville, vocals
Read MoreToday we welcome Tom May from The Menzingers. Tom and I discuss his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, advice for bands getting courted (hint: free dinners) and The Menzingers connection to the emo and hardcore scenes. Plus we discuss the upcoming new album “After the Party.” You’ll notice some beautiful birds chirping in the background while Tom talks. That’s called nature and something I don’t get a lot of in NYC so I kept it in.
