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.
