On this episode of Artist to Fan, Daniel Johnson is joined by Scott Radinsky, lead singer of Southern California punk band Pulley, who are about to tour Australia for the first time in almost two decades.  The band formed in 1994 following Radinsky's departure from Ten Foot Pole (previously known as Scared Straight). Pulley rose to prominence with the release of the 1996 album Esteem Driven Engine, on Epitaph Records, which was followed by 60 Cycle Hum, @#!*, Together Again for the First Time, Matters, No Change in the Weather and last year's The Golden Life.
Fans of Epitaph’s Punk-O-Rama compilation albums from the 1990s and early 2000s will no doubt be familiar with the band — they featured on almost every edition with songs including Cashed In, If, Second Best, Gone, Runaway and Away From Me.
In addition to singing for Pulley and Ten Foot Pole, Radinsky has also had a successful baseball career, including stints as a pitcher for Major League teams such as the Chicago White Sox, St Louis Cardinals and Cleveland Indians.
Pulley’s Australian tour kicks off in Newcastle on November 3 and includes dates in Sydney, Hobart (with Lagwagon), Melbourne, Geelong, Adelaide, Gold Coast and Brisbane. Visit Pulley’s Facebook page or Chopdog Entertainment’s website for more details.
