Show notes

Keanu Reeves is a true titan of the film industry. From the tides of River's Edge, the crashing waves of Point Break, to the deepest recesses of The Matrix... He IS film in opinion. So for this episode we take a look at the magic of Keanu Reeves and assemble the perfect mix of movies for anyone looking to learn about the Reevesformation Era.

The Rigs of Dad Prodcast - Brian Baker (Bad Religion, Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, and more) Sep 03, 2021

Show notes

The greatest living punk-rock guitarist: Brian Baker.

His impact on punk music and in rock is undeniable. Whether you know him from hardcore legends Minor Threat, punk icons Bad Religion, or some non-super-group super-groups like Fake Names, Foxhall Stacks, or Beach Rats you have no doubt feasted on at least one of the Baker's dozen or so bands.

We take some deep dives into gear on this one... We talk the magic of Gibsons, Marshalls, P90 pickups, and more. How the gear has influenced the player, how the player has influenced the gear, and how these have changed over time on stage and in studio, but why it's important for Brian to keep the rig simple.

It was an honor to have this conversation and an absolute joy to share it.

Keep up with all things Brian Baker online at @brianbakers @badreligionband @beachratsnj and @dag.nasty

Be sure to check out the new Fake Names ep here which also features Baker, Johnny Temple (Girls Against Boys), Michael Hampton (S.O.A., Embrace), and Dennis Lyxzén (The Refused, International Noise Conspiracy).

The Rigs of Dad Prodcast - Joby Ford (The Bronx, Mariachi El Bronx, and more) Aug 27, 2021

Show notes

Multi-instrumentalist Joby Ford took a break from the camping life to talk tone with Ross. You might know Joby as one of the founding members and guitarists of The Bronx, maybe for his guitar or vihuela or jarana or accordion work in Mariachi El Bronx, maybe for his surf guitar sounds in Pounded By the Surf, and beyond.... Regardless, was stoked to get him out of the tubing tides of Tennessee to take a dip in some soundwaves for this enlightening chat.

The Bronx is currently on tour with Rancid and Dropkick Murphys to celebrate the release of their sixth album: the aptly titled "Bronx VI" and it is an absolute banger of an album.

In this episode, we talk tone, amps, strings, pickups, effects, moshing, skateboarding, being a dad, and beyond... This episode is also graced by the additional music of one of Joby's other bands: Pounded By the Surf.

Keep up with all things The Bronx at www.thebronxxx.com

Scope Pounded By the Surf here

And be sure to catch The Bronx when they roll through your town with either Rancid/Dropkick or Every Time I Die later this year.
