Show notes

WHAT A STORY! WHAT A LEGEND! Legendary Punk and Hardcore producer AND frontman Brian McTernan joins the show! From his days as a hardcore singer in the influential DC Hardcore band Battery, to becoming one of the top record producers, he has so many amazing stories. We talk about the early days, producing bands like Circa Survive, Senses Fail, Thrice, Cave In, and how one day he got so burnt out and quit to work for ... a construction company! Now, after a hiatus from music, Brian is back with a new (and awesome!) band he's fronting called Be Well, which not only continues his legacy as a hardcore singer, but incorporates a lot of melodic elements as well. The new album "The Weight and The Cost" is out now on Equal Vision Records!

Show notes

Episode 242 - Seemingly coming out of nowhere, California's Point North has made a massive splash in the last couple years with their own brand of Pop-Punk, releasing EP's and singles, and doing tours with some of the biggest bands in the scene. But singer Jon Lundin has been at it for nearly a decade behind the scenes, working as an engineer and producer, and also a songwriter. Now, at age 29, Jon has released Point North's first full length "Brand New Vision" to a lot of hype. We talk about fan expectations, meditation (again!), his bromance with Kellin Quinn, and donating most of their recording budget to the "No Kid Hungry" charity.
