On this episode of This is Just a Phase I sit down and chat with all five members of the Cleveland punk/hardcore band Jacknife Powerbombs. I was able to sit down and chat w/ singer Matt, guitarists Jim and Mark, bassist Max, and drummer Doug.

It is a fantastic conversation that uncovers how each member got into hardcore and punk rock, how the band formed and how it quickly turned into the current line up, as well as their career, their long hiatus, and their first show after 6 years that took place a few months ago. We also chat about their inclusion on the This is Just a Compilation CD , as well as some funny shared stories from the band’s history. It was a lot of fun getting to know the guys better and hope you enjoy this episode of This is Just a Phase.
