In this episode, the diamond dudes are chilling out with Chad James of the Murfreesboro pop punk gaze solo project, Karate Chad. 

Beaming into us from his DIY clubhouse/studio “THE SHACK” out in the quiet country of Mid TN amongst a torrential downpour.  

We talk about beginnings, gears, beers, live stuff, process of recording (mixing secrets,) friendships that connect DIY musicians, touring, & future plans to release more of his wonderfully crafted punk music into this crazy world.

So, prepare to get rad & cozy with the backdrop of a steady Murfreesboro mid-morning rainstorm. Just don't get stuck in the mud out at the crossroads, and watch the majestic albino wild turkey, of course!

We’re nothing but a bunch of millennials reminiscing on the golden age of music videos. DJ’s, VJ’s, MTV & Nickelodeon. Growing up. Consuming MTV to an extreme degree. Reppin’ our childhood hometowns. Long lost best best friends. Staying Inspired. Follow along as Kelley Williams (Back of a Car) masterfully & considerately recalls and answers questions that we asked him, and then almost immediately interrupt his initial responses. What a guy, what a mind, and a truthfully amazing artist that has always unabashedly done his thing since the day he discovered the sweet sound of rock & roll. We talk old songs, origins of the band, and a bit on new music B.O.A.C. has in the works for 2022. Enjoy the ride! 

Songs: “Gold Trash” & “Alamogordo” by Back of a Car from “Unconditional Loathe” released in 2016.
