    Great show with consistently good guests.

    Would be awesome to see one with Mike Lohrman from the Stitches, the dudes from the Briefs, or I know it would be super tough to track down and convince her but Ivy from the Cramps would be maybe the coolest guest ever.

    Thanks for making the show you guys

Garrett Klahn from Texas Is The Reason and Support is here
Q: Why did you move from Buffalo to New York to form Texas Is The Reason?
Moving to New York was partly to escape Buffalo and partly to pursue bigger opportunities; I connected with Norman, Chris, and Scott there and joined to help form the band, seeking a wider audience.
Garrett Klahn from Texas Is The Reason and Support is here
Q: Garrett, how did you get into punk?
I got into punk through ads in Thrasher Magazine and Transworld, plus friends at school; skate culture and early exposure pushed me toward the scene before I fully joined bands.
Sohrab Habibion from Obits and Edsel is here
Q: What drew you to the DC hardcore scene specifically?
Sohrab explains discovering Minor Threat and Circle Jerks, noticing the authentic, non-theatrical vibe of small, intimate shows, and realizing the DIY ethos allowed a direct path from local bands to broader networks.
Preston Woodward from The State is here
Q: Preston, how did you get into punk?
He traces his entry from the Stooges, MC5, and White Panthers to early Ann Arbor shows, describing a milieu where blues, jazz improvisation, and high-energy rock collided to form what would be called punk.
Melissa Auf der Maur from Hole, Smashing Pumpkins and Tinker is here
Q: Melissa, how'd you get into a punk?
She explains her initial attraction to alternative counterculture rather than classic punk, highlighting how the West Coast scene and bands like Fugazi influenced her, and how her own political and bohemian family background shaped her stance.
