Stay ConnectedMy name is Dana B. I bailed on my corporate job to travel & tour with bands. I tour manage the Boston based band, Piebald. I’ve also worked as a roadie for bands such as: The Story So Far, The Front Bottoms, Bayside, Thrice, Hot Rod Circuit, Alkaline Trio, and Unearth.
On the podcast I interview my favorite musicians in the hardcore / punk / emo / indie adjacent music scene.

Jake & I discuss his time as a musician in the Boston hardcore scene as the singer for Cast Iron Hike; and how this lead to him becoming a writer and podcaster. It all started with his podcast, “Disgraceland” - a true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. This has lead to many other podcast series, most recently “Badlands - Season 2 Sportsland” - Jake also runs his own podcast production company, “Double Elvis Productions” - we cover all this and more on this episode. Sportsland includes episodes on OJ Simpson, Aaron Hernandez, Pete Rose, Evil Knievel, and more.
