This is the episode that Eric and Dan have wanted to record since we started the podcast over a year ago with one of our favorite punk bands 30 Foot Fall. We are stoked to sit down with vocalist Butch Klotz and guitarist Chris Vasquez to discuss all things 30 Foot Fall. 30 Foot Fall has had a long and interesting history in the punk scene and you will find Butch and Chris to be hilarious and candid. Check out this episode as it's one of our most fun interviews to date and first one where we had two members of the band on the show. http://peopleofpunkrockrecords.com/band-artist.php?id=30-foot-fallhttps://peopleofpunkrock.bandcamp.com/track/better-off-dead-2025-remix

In the back-half of our discussion with Nicky, we do a deep dive onto all things related to the complete collection by Christ - simply titled "Complete." We're able to dive in to every single song that Christ ever recorded whether in demo form or on proper releases.We go deep into how Nicky approached guitar and how the band approached music in general and putting together the lyrics for the songs. Plus as a bonus we get to find out the origin of the lyric for "Song Number Three" which was a personal bonus for me.This conversation bummed me out even more I never got to see CHRIST live.The songs used in this episode are both taken from "Complete" (duh)LibrarianMitchellGet your CHRIST merch (records and shirts) here:https://skyvalleyrecords.com/collections/all/christOr buy the complete CHRIST collection digitally here:https://christcomplete.bandcamp.com/album/completeBuy some of Nicky's records LIVE here:https://www.whatnot.com/user/yonicky?sender_id=2133880&sharing_channel=copyLink

For episode 031 we brought on a guest I've "known" (in name only) for close to 30 years but someone I've never actually spoken with until we recorded this episode. Nicky has been an integral part of the Philadelphia scene for a long time and has been in and worked with a ton of influential bands throughout his storied career. He sat down with us to discuss those bands, share stories, and explain how he got involved in the punk scene and what drew him to guitar.

In the back-half of our discussion with Neil, we do a deep dive onto all things related to "The Fear Is Unsafe." As a bonus, we also discuss the recording of "Rip Myself Off (Again) which was recorded during the same session (along with a bunch of other yet-to-be-released songs) and everything that went into the album.

You'll find out Neil's approach to songwriting and recording, some of the meanings behind the album, how Neil's politics and the shape of the world help shape the songs, and so much more.

This album left us waiting for the next batch of songs to get released since Rollo is still actively working on their follow-up album.

Sticking with the Chicago theme, for episode 029 we bring Neil Sandler onto the show to talk all things him, his band, and Chicago. Neil has some really interesting stories to share across his 30+ years of being a musician across a bunch of bands.

We discuss the other band with the "same name" (spelled differently) and the importance of selecting the right band name, especially in the internet era, to make that name stand out for the purposes of searching.

It's always great to get guests on that played in bands I loved seeing live back in the day and Neil certainly doesn't disappoint.

The song in this episode are:

Red Villain - Horse Traveler (from the album "Into the City's Arms"
