Going Off Track

The amazing Chris Pierce has been "the adult in the room of punk" for a while now, as the founder of Doc Hopper, drummer in School Drugs and the "man behind the glass" in the studio, he's essential to his adopted Jersey scene and the whole scene in general. This was a fun convo.

The legendary Gentleman Jim Norton kept us going so long, he became a 2-parter! We'll just drop names for this one... Fred Schneider of the B52's, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Evan Dando - Madonna didn't even make the cut because the other stories were so good!

The one and only Gentleman Jim Norton joined us for an epic session that is all off-track. From his upbringing in the Church of the Precious Blood to becoming the #3 Trivia Host in the World, while along the way road-managing Rancid (during intense times) and The Goops! (among others). Oh yeah, he also played bass in Crucial Youth as a... youth. It's another informative Road Dog special!

This week, Ben Walsh of Tiger's Jaw checks in to throw love at his band with "Things About Brie" and some major, drummer-love. We def go off track with this one - strange sleep experiences, The Office and The Menzingers' original ska band to name a few.

My Chemical Romance guitarist, Frank Iero gets down and Jersey with Benny this week. We dig deep into early memories, hanging with his drummer Grandpa and pals to a scary MyChem basement show. It's all Franky... and Jersey.

This week we reached all the way around the globe to check in with Winston McCall, singer from Parkway Drive. The conversation itself spans the planet too, starting with the Statue of Liberty's butt and maturing to the spirituality of surfing sublime Byron Bay.

In honor of our most celebrated Offtrack guest being on tour right now with Benny and The Gaslight Anthem, we bring you a delightful conversation with Jeff Rosenstock, held in the basement of A-Bar in Brooklyn in 2017, with Benny and Jonah and Brad.

Benny takes time off from The Gaslight Anthem's U.S. tour to shoot the shit with the band's guitarist, Alex Rosamilia and bassist, Alex Levine. Of course Roger Federer comes up but so does sex, drugs, rock & roll! True backstage banter.

Benny takes a backstage break during The Gaslight Anthem tour to really get into the shit with buds, Chris Farren and Brian Fallon. Oh boy, this one is nothing but fun!

Epic frontman for Lagwagon, guitarist for Me First & The Gimme Gimme's - Joey Cape is worth bringing back for a Flashback Friday! Sorry Benny fans, this one was pre-B in GOT history.
