Going Off Track

The Lawrence Arms vocalist, Brendan Kelly checked in from America's windy city to regale us with tales, from his fcked-upbringing to amazing recording studios. Listen well, young punks, to the man who is too punk rock for Warped Tour. Fo' real.

Disgraceland podcast's Jake Brennan is a genius. Why? He combined true-crime and music to make an amazing show! But he's got some real music cred to back it up including playing in Boston hardcore band, Cast Iron Hike. Of course we get into all of it.

Lande Hekt of Muncie Girls has a new solo album that celebrates her coming out to the world. We had a delightful conversation with her about the album that she played all the instruments on, as well as her debilitating claustrophobia and sugar addiction.

Rock-Americana, true brothers in arms, Dave and Tim Hause have an amazing respect and love for each other and they use it to make great music together. They're also old pals of Benny's and the resulting conversation is just a delight.

The Menzingers have been guests just once before but come up so often that they certainly feel like GOT family. Vocalist/guitarist Tom May kept that vibe alive with a homey conversation about UFOs, Philly and New Years resolutions (which he loves).

For our first show of 2021 we gathered three of Benny's spirit animals - Dr. Neel, Roger Harvey and Aunt Judy for their unique, optimistic look at the year ahead. We also got a few lessons from the year we left behind and some epic New Year's Eve stories.

Jimmy Eat World drummer, Zach Lind is a seriously grounded individual - his whole band is! It's part of the secret of their success. We get into that as well as growing up in a conservative household and some beer-snobbery as well.

Emo-screamer and post-hardcore band, Thursday frontman, Geoff Rickly is one of the most intelligent, sincere, old pals of the show. He checks in to discuss good vs evil, Jeff Rosenstock, and take us from the stray cats of Brooklyn to the growling, neighborhood dogs of Iowa.

Slowcore/indie-rock band Nothing's Domenic Palermo gives us one of the most interesting and varied conversations in a while. From the low-down on listening to Hot97 in prison, to out-drinking all other bands in the studio, this is one you won't forget.

Foo Fighter and alt-country artist, Chris Shiflett checked in to talk about his early days roadying for Wax and working at Fat Wreck Chords before joining No Use For A Name. We also get current with his new record and his "Walking The Floor" podcast.
