Going Off Track

Broadway Calls guitarist-vocalist, Ty Vaughn checks in from the rugged Pacific Northwest to tell us of the cool uncle who inspired him to play guitar, recording with the mighty Bill Stevenson and how he's really just a hardcore kid killing time.

Singer and guitarist for None More Black and Kid Dynamite, Jason Shevchuk joins us to tell how he screamed his way to a hernia. We also get into the time he covered Dave Hause in fake blood and reveal a very pertinent secret about his latest project.

Best friends from youth, Josh Grabelle and Carl Severson started Trustkill and Ferret Records respectively. They join us to talk about meeting in math class 30 years ago then going on to found two of the seminal hardcore labels of the last 20 years.

Sincere Engineer, the delightful Deanna Belos checks in from out chilly Chicago-way to discuss research mice, driving with no window in minus-60° weather, and all the cool emo shows she saw with her mom, whose car she wrote her first album in.

Silverstein frontman, and Lead Singer Syndrome podcast-host, Shane Told joins us this week to talk sports (Raptors/Bluejays fan) and how hearing Metallica for the first time at ten years old, on his older sister's CD player inspired his punk-rock career.

We're kicking off 2022 with our second annual "Optimist Club" special. First up: Benny's old pal and spiritual alignment aid, Professor Neel. Also on board, the talented solo-artist, Kayleigh Goldsworthy and we cap it off with a VERY special guest.
