Going Off Track

Hardcore screamer, Andrew Neufeld of Comeback Kid is yet another hard-rocking Canadian sweetheart. He regales us with stories of transporting exceptional sausage and being shown "24 Hour Party People" in a Serbian jail.

Indie/alt-singer/songwriter Jon Snodgrass has collaborated with everybody, from The Descendents and Lagwagon to Chuck Ragan. Our awesome convo with him goes just as many places, from writing jingles for friends to Warren Zevon and baseball.

Punk/ska band, The Flatliners frontman, Chris Cresswell misses the road but also feels guilty about the amount of fun he had staying home this summer. We also talk songwriting, playing in Hot Water Music and pre-Canadians burning down the White House.

Kate and Jon Hiltz - you may not know who they are (yet) but these two have been instrumental in the Jersey music scene, from inspiring little Benny to nurturing, and managing The Bouncing Souls, these two are brother and sister punk-rock matriarchs.

Chris Farren and Jeff Rosenstock, together known sometimes as Antarctigo Vespucci (usually with Benny on drums) are two long-standing, "friends of the Offtrack family" and they came on to throw some laughs and keep us company during election day.

Founding member of heavy-hardcore band Terror, Scott Vogel has also been in a whole bunch of other, seriously legit bands that you know. This week we get into everything from therapy to Madball to cutting your own hair.

Avail frontman, punk-folkster Tim Barry checked in from lovely Richmond, VA to talk about his early metal days, adult dorms and a recent, massive LSD trip that ended up involving 2am chats with his publisher and accountant.

Bad Cop/Bad Cop is a badass, punk-rock band and this week their singer-guitarist, Jennie Cotterill tuned in to give us the low-down on the band and then take us off-track into baking, guitars, sculpture, and the evil Mrs. Hammond.

Clutch drummer, Jean-Paul Gaster is the backbone of his group but he's also a big Miles Davis fan and has great advice on working with stone. At the end of the day though, it's just fun to listen to Benny bro' down with a fellow time-keeper.

Bryan Kienlen, bassist for The Bouncing Souls and tattoo artist, talks about the Jersey punk band's earliest incarnations, and adventures, in high school thru to the newest, and cutest, addition to his family.
