"Zippy's Maddest Stories Ever Told"
I had the pleasure to chatting with Blaine Cook – one of the most distinct vocalists in hardcore (crossover, etc.). Whether it is with The Fartz, Toe Tag or The Accused, Blaine’s voice is unmistakable and utterly unique. The Accused played a significant part in my musical journey and I had a lot of fun talking with Blaine about some of his favorite records!

"The Rats are Coming! The Werewolves are Here!"
Mark Smith is the drummer for Dutch Babies and Tufted Puffins. He is also a NOTORIOUIS trouble maker. I’ve known Mark for over 30 years and without his technical expertise The Post Script would not have existed! This is another long, LONG delayed episode that I was more than happy to complete and I had a great time doing it!
Here’s some of the bands that provide the soundtrack to the epic tales told in this episode;
The Who, Rollins Band, Rush, The Jam, Dutch Babies, The Stooges, X, Zen Luv Assassins, Television and Misfits.

"Things can only get better"
Mikey is one of my favorite people. As bandmates in Persistent Aggressor we would often talk music before (during) and after practice at length – it was always a good time. So it only made sense to have him on! Warning. For those of you with sensitive souls that can’t handle real talk about pay-to-play veunues/shows and shitty promoters that make bands sell tickets – this episode is not for you. You can listen if you want, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.
What else do we ramble on about?

"Fried Pickle Flavored Cashews"
Aaron Stefanko is the vocalist and one of the guitarists in the Akron band The Bics (formerly White Lighter). Aaron and I have known each other for a while, crossing paths periodically over the years, but have hung out more frequently in recent years. I figured it was time to sit down with Aaron and record one of our conversations. We cover a lot of stuff but I think it is clear that The Mummies rule.
