In Pop Kitchen's first ever interview, Jeff and Lesley talk to Chad Wolf of Carolina Liar and The Federal Empire. They dive into the production behind their 2008 album "Coming To Terms" and chat about Max Martin, Tobias Karlsson and Shellback. Having grown up in South Carolina, Chad discusses the influence the church had on his writing style and how that still provides a force today in his more recent band The Federal Empire. There are jokes about wild parties in Laurel Canyon and the strange 2007-2010 pop/rock industry that is now being referred to as  "The Deleted Years."
