Todays interview is with James Hoffer. I first met James in the mid-1990s, as he was playing in bands like Thread, later known as Forefront, around the Richmond Punk Scene. And together with bands like Indypendant, they were part of a group of bands from south of the river, here in the Richmond Hardcore scene. And over the years, James has kept on playing in bands, and writing and releasing music. So it was awesome to catch up with him, and talk about his experience growing up, getting into punk, and what the process is like now, as a musician playing in a few different bands, such as Dead Format, Full Collapse, and Rough Age.
