Kurt Davis aka "Yukki Gipe" rounds out the Bullet LaVolta file for us, following the footsteps of former bandmates Kenny Chambers, Todd Phillips, and Corey Loog Brennan as a guest on the show. We really liked Bullet LaVolta, can you tell? Kurt delivers the goods on the early Indiana hardcore scene and his band The Repellents, talks LaVolta, and throws in some Kustomized, Konks, and Daughter Of The Vine talk for good measure. Nice long informative talk. Enjoy.

On this episode we talk with Jo Krieger, the twenty year old mastermind behind JVK, a band that has somehow stayed below the radar but at the same time has been touring the Northeast and making new fans with every energetic performance. JVK emerged from the suburbs of Boston in 2020 and now releases their second EP. They just played the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville Kentucky, and are a van away from invading every stinking town in America so be forewarned...
