• Pete Steinkopf of The Bouncing Souls

  The Bouncing Souls are an iconic melodic punk band from New Jersey. They are a personal favorite of mine and have been for over 20 years. Pete is also the owner of what I consider to be one of the raddest guitars in music history. It is a 1979 White Les Paul Custom that has the most iconic legit playwear that I have ever seen! We talk about that and a lot of other stuff like: The early days of the Bouncing Souls Recording music is a collaborative process that requires understanding the dynamics of the band. Aspiring musicians should focus on DIY methods to build their careers before seeking label support. The music industry has changed drastically, making it easier for artists to promote themselves independently. Finding the right label is crucial; artists should seek those who genuinely support their vision. Touring experiences evolve with age, shifting from wild adventures to more family-oriented approaches. The importance of building relationships and trust in the music industry cannot be overstated. Simple gear setups can often yield the best results in live performances. Nostalgia plays a big role in music culture. Modern touring vs 90s touring "Rock dad" life Punk rock was a significant turning point for many musicians. Punkorama CDs were crucial for discovering new music. Epitaph Records played a vital role in the punk scene.

• Jinna Kim, The "Secret" Weapon of Meris

  If you love guitar, gear, synths, or effects pedals... There is a good chance that you have heard of the company Meris. Meris makes some of the most awesome signal processing/producing devices that are currently available on the market. I absolutely love their stuff! And if you know about Meris, then you have been exposed to Jinna's incredible handiwork on the brand, the wonderfully inspired launch material, user interfaces, and so so much more. She doesn't do a ton of interviews, so it was an honor to get her on the show to dive into her role in the brand, and the gear world at large. Let's get into it!

• Tracii Guns of LA Guns

  What an episode!!!! Today I'm talking to Tracii from LA Guns! I start off with telling Tracii a little tale from my childhood that centers around his band. It is quite a fond rock'n'roll memory for me. (I think you'll appreciate it.) We dive right into some gear talk, and the first subject might be a little bit surprising. Along the way we discuss the joy of pursuing a career that aligns with personal interests, the importance of recognizing one's mental wiring when choosing a career path, and the unique dopamine rush that comes from creating music. Enjoy it folks! Give Tracii a follow HERE https://www.instagram.com/traciiguns/ Get More LA Guns info HERE http://www.lagunsmusic.com/ Support The Show And Connect! The Text Chat is back!
