<p>For episode 40 of (*both laugh*), we went international again, this time catching up with Chachy Englund from Shanghai-based freak punk band Round Eye. The present incarnation of the band features ex-pats from three different countries (the US, Italy and Ireland), and are slated to officially release the physical version of their latest album, Culture Shock Treatment, via Sudden Death Records post haste (the digital release was handled last year by Paper + Plastick). And if you order the album (check the link below), there's a very realistic chance that it'll be in your grubby little paws WAY before anyone from the band actually sees it themselves.</p>
<p>Such is the way of the world when you're doing the punk rock thing under the watchful eye of the CCP. We covered a lot of ground with Chachy – literally and figuratively, and he's got a fascinating first-hand perspective on the COVID outbreak (and subsequent mismanagement), making a record with the iconic Mike Watt (and having it mixed by the equally iconic Bill Stevenson), the state of international touring, and the rigors of touring mainland China as a band of outsiders…and trying to return once you've toured outside the motherland. It's a fascinating chat if I do say so myself. Wonder if Chachy and his bandmates will actually get to watch it!</p>

<p>tl/dr: we asked Max Collins from Eve 6 if he wanted to chat and he said sure!</p>
<p>This episode is going live on May 27, which coincidentally marks the 21st anniversary of the first time I saw Eve 6. It was the 2000 WBCN (r.i.p.) River Rave and it took place at the old Foxboro Stadium and it featured bands like Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Everclear and Godsmack (lol) and Stone Temple Pilots and Static-X and Powerman 5000 and Cypress Hill. The turn of the century was a time, man…</p>
<p>ANYWAY, Eve 6, in my opinion, got a little unfairly lumped in with a couple of scenes that, stylistically, they weren't really a part of. Their self-titled debut album, written while the band's members (Max Collins, Jon Siebel, Tony Fagenson) were essentially still in high school, debuted at a time in music that was probably just a bit too late for the punk revival of the mid-90s and just before the nu-metal/butt rock wave of the early 2000s. Stylistically, the band probably had more in common with Alkaline Trio (whose own debut full-length came out six months after "Eve 6) than with the likes of either Third Eye Blind or Sugar Ray or Staind or whoever they got paired with along the way. The lead single, "Inside Out," (aka "The Heart In A Blender Song") blew up and the album sold almost two million copies and so school buses turned into tour buses before very long and, well, here's the 25-cent version of what happened next: sophomore album, Horrorscope, spawned an unlikely hit ("Here's To The Night") which was probably your prom and/or graduation song if you're of a certain age, touring with Bon Jovi, third album didn't spawn a likely/unlikely "hit", band got dropped by RCA and essentially broke up, Max got sober, band reconnected, new album in 2012, bunch of 90s-band style tours, pandemic.</p>
<p>The last year or so have found Collins and Siebel and new drummer Ben Hilzinger started working on new material, the result of which is a five-song EP, "grim value," which is due out next month (see links to the first couple videos below). It's also seen Collins reach a new level of sorta-fame via Twitter, where he's maintained the band's official feed as a mix of 90s-band shit-posting and progressive realist light-in-the-darkness (Much of it is aligned with the dance-pop self-help spiritual guru Chevy Mustang that Collins created that is, if you haven't checked it out yet, completely brilliant.) We talked about all of this and more (Jawbreaker, sobriety, touring with Bon Jovi, etc) over the course of this chat and it was super fun and I still find it amazing that he agreed to do it.</p>

<p>Intro song, as always: "Hurts To Laugh" by Kali Masi</p>

<p>In case you weren't aware by now, May is Mental Health Awareness Month. That's a cause that's pretty near and dear to my heart, and for Episode 38, I finally got a chance to promote it! If you've been to Warped Tour or the Flogging Molly Salty Dog Cruise or any number of other punk shows/festivals over the last decade, you've probably run into Rob "Rover" Rushing. For many years, he was the on-the-ground face of the Love Hope Strength Foundation, a non-profit that was co-founded by The Alarm's Mike Peters and that aimed to sign people up for the International Bone Marrow Registry. When LHS moved on from their street team a couple of years ago, Rushing and his wife Tina took the opportunity to create a non-profit of their own, and thus Punk Rock Saves Lives was born! Though it's still in a stage of relative infancy, PRSL has hit the ground running. Focusing on equal rights, human rights and health campaigns, PRSL has shown itself to be a versatile organization, helping to raise money and awareness for mental health campaigns, women's health and reproductive rights campaigns, and much more. The charity was founded in November 2019 and had some big plans for its first full year, but then COVID happened and, like most of us, they were forced to pivot. Now that things are opening up ever-so-suddenly, it seems, more good things are on the horizon. Check out the list of links below to get involved!</p>

<p>To say that I've been looking forward to finally catching up with Scott Radinsky for a long time is an understatement. Radinsky has spent more than three decades carving out a career in not one, but two of my lifelong passions: baseball and punk rock. If you're watching this as a long-time Dying Scene follower, you no doubt know Radinsky as the trademark voice behind a couple supremely influential – if underrated – California punk rock bands: Scared Straight, who were vital in getting the "nardcore" scene on the map before reconfiguring as Ten Foot Pole, and, for the last quarter-century, Pulley. At this point, you're also no doubt aware of Radinsky's successful career as a quality left-handed relief pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, LA Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals and, finally, Cleveland Indians (you can Google his stats if you want, but he finished with a solid career record of 42-25 with 52 saves and a 3.45 ERA over the course of 11 years. Trust me: that's rock solid.) His career was also interrupted by a bout with Hodgkins Disease, and his comeback won him the 1995 Tony Conigliaro Award. As a lifelong Boston-area guy, also trust me…that's a big deal. We finally caught up with Radinsky recently to talk about how the COVID shutdown has impacted both of his beloved professions, and how they both had to pivot in different ways. Pulley, obviously, had to cancel some overseas tour plans, but the lockdown allowed them the opportunity to work on some brand new material in different and more focused ways than they have in years. It also found them playing a handful of acoustic sessions , which spawned a series of releases containing stripped down renditions of a few songs from each of the band's revved up studio albums to date. The first of those releases, Different Strings, is due out this month on SBAM Records – a label that should sound familiar as its founder, Stefan Beham, was our guest for Episode 36.

<p>If you've been a fan of punk rock over the last decade especially, you probably know Stefan Beham…only, you probably don't realize that you know Stefan Beham. The Austria-based graphic artist has designed tour posters and album covers and the like for a Fat Wreck Chords-heavy laundry list of artists that includes acts like NOFX and Frank Turner and Lagwagon and Get Dead and the Bombpops and Bad Cop Bad Cop and myriad more. </p>
<p>We caught up with Stefan recently to chat about his journey from being a kid growing up in Austria to finding punk rock to eventually working for – and with – some of the biggest names in the scene. We also talked quite a bit about his growth from visual artist to festival producer to record label head honcho, and how he's had to constantly pivot in those roles over the course of the COVID pandemic. </p>
