Good deed for the day: Please, even a $5 donnation would go to moving mountains for the amazing Dave Smalley and his battle against cancer. Every little bit counts: David Smalley (Dag Nasty, Down By Law) Cancer GoFundMe Hi lunatics! This week Émilie has a conversation with two of my great friends, Sarah and Ray from the soon to be legendary, DRUNKTANK, hailing from the Netherlands! I (Producer Scott) had the pleasure of touring with them last Autumn (2023) and they rolled out the red carpet for us when we toured through their home town, Den Hague, 6 weeks later. Aside from being genuinely some of the kindest souls in punk rock, THEY SHRED. We talk about what the latest bands era has affected Ray in many positive ways, his work as a co-owner of the EPIC, Epic Merch Store, the ONLY place for you to get local shipping rates for your favorite bands merch around the world...also, Emilie picks Sarah's brain about what its like to join a long established band and touring for the first time.
