With a voice that sounds like he's singing “through” his beard, and a guitar style of his own, Cactus Vella brings his fortitude and grit to the Acoustic-Punk genre.

Cactus and Scott talk about the formation of his new band Public Mess, the process of writing and recording the EP, the origins of the acoustic punk scene, the Toronto punk and hardcore scene, their mutual connection to the iconic band Leatherface, the similarities and differences between the creative pursuits of music and graphic design

Scott and Carmen discuss the tragic event that shaped her life and changed her path, her work on a farm that led to ignited her love and passion for horses, how she and her partner came to own a farm in Nothern Ontario, realizing that you are on the hamster wheel of routine, her work with clients dealing with trauma, how self-defence helps us feel both physically and emotionally more confident, and much more.
