Titanic Reaction with Tony Mengis

Sat down with some of my oldest friends and ex band mates to talk about the new record, current line up and how they got into punk. Maybe someday we can do an entire episode of only tour stories from the early 90s

If you've ever wanted to turn the tables and be the one who asks your therapists questions, this episode is for you! We talk about what lead them to becoming therapists and they also share their thoughts about why mental heath problems are so prevalent among punks

I talk to three very old friends, who all were in the band Malcontent and all three ended up becoming therapists. Also joined by another punk, Elizabeth, who became a therapist. Plus, a very special guest who you will have to figure out. To not interfere with their professional lives, some are using street names and only using flyers for pictures.

@badsex_official talk about Portland music, I think we even talked about Seafood Mama, their (Portland) famous relatives and a surprisingly (at least to me) diverse group of influences. Finding if I listen instead of being judgmental and thinking everything is stupid, it’s really interesting how the younger generation get from what’s modern in their day and still end up finding the best music in the world.

Titanic Reaction; Dials

David Rodriguez, from the Casualties, Starving Wolves and the Krum Bums is one the hardest working and most positive punks I’ve met. He’s angry but definitely not ready to give up. Seems like he’s barely started.

Take a drug and riot fueled tour of 80s LA and 90s Portland punk with Tony Bartek on the newest episode of @titanicreactionwtm.
