Welcome to the Mike Squires & Friends podcast where today we unravel the captivating journey of Jimmy and his band Scooped Up. From the early days of graffiti to the roots of their music, we explore the evolution of Scooped Up, including the birth of the band and the release of their first album, all driven by a 100% DIY ethos, from printing their own merch to crafting music video sets. The podcast delves into the band's experiences on the road, crazy show moments, encounters with Bowling For Soup, and Jimmy's biggest fears. From giving tattoos to creating the Weed Song and a full DIY album, we uncover the challenges, criticisms, and the formation of the band. The Runs Sessions, branding, and memorable shows, including a special 4/20 performance, are all part of this captivating narrative. We explore Scooped Up's engagement with social media, their love for pop punk, and game-changing moments in their career. As the podcast concludes, we discuss their latest projects, including a short film, the Joy Ride music video, and what's next on the horizon. Tune in to "Mike Squires & Friends" to discover the raw and genuine story behind Scooped Up's 100% DIY journey.
