On this episode of Off the Clock, I’m joined by my Punk Tacos amigo Swanny. Here’s some of what we talk about:

First Question: What was your very first ever punk or ska show?

we talk about anxiety and when we choose to be the center of attention and when we want to blend in

Swanny shares his unusual journey to being on the radio as we also talk about the horrors of working a corporate HR job

we review each other’s Punk Tacos breaks and share what we think of them

we then give a little peek behind the curtain about how the process of getting new songs on Punk Tacos goes – we take it more seriously than you might guess

our shared love of live, local shows in dive bars

Swanny takes me through the origin, and composition, of the “A-OK Bomb,” an alcoholic beverage you can impress all of your friends with

we talk about his new band LMS and I take my guess as to what that stands for

self-awareness among artists and why local music, as a general rule, is better now than it was in the past

why you should go see the damned opening band

hipster takes: Who is a huge band you saw as an opener?
