The Punk-Cast For Pod People

This is an episode from September 6, 2016 with Exit 17.  Recently the guitarist / vocalist from Exit 17, James "Lunchbox" Giunta, died.  We recorded a new intro and added it onto the past episode.  If you've heard this one before it's worth a second listen and if you've never heard this one it's definitely worth checking out.

The Punk-Cast For Pod People

Poor Lily were kind enough to come by and hang out in the kitchen after their set at Darkside Records in Poughkeepsie to discuss their new album "Dirt on Everyone".  Poor Lily just released their new album which has been described as a rock opera but I prefer to describe it as one 30 minute song in multiple parts.  You can find all their music at

The Punk-Cast For Pod People

Don and Dumaine stopped by the kitchen today to talk about growing up in the Hudson Valley Punk and Metal scenes and their current project 4 Gun Ridge.  Technically, this is not a punk band but, we've had generous other than punk so this isn't that weird.  Besides, Carla and Danny grew up listening to the country music their fathers listened to so, this is not unfamiliar territory for them.

The Punk-Cast For Pod People

About a year and a half ago Exit 17's singer, guitarist, and sole consistent member came on the podcast to talk about his band.  What ensued was a chaotic and exhausting interview.  Recently, James aka Lunchbox asked to come back on the podcast to set things right and talk about where his life was at at the time of the original interview and to talk about where he, and the band, are at now.  We are very happy to see James doing so well and the band has never sounded better.  Going James on this episode is Jimbo (original drummer and possible once again future drummer), Phil...

The Punk-Cast For Pod People

Rochdale are a recently formed punk / hardcore band in the Hudson Valley.  Tony, Paul, and Nick came to the house with a quart of bourbon (which 3 of us consumed in it's entirety).  We discussed music, hardcore, punk, writing, playing, influences, and a whole lot of other things.  Some of us got a little drunk and the conversation got a bit out of hand at time but, we had a lot of fun.
