Had two dear friends sit down for a chat for this pod, was a lovely time <3. Josh and Cheech are two people who have been involved with the NJ scene for 12+ years.

We talk about the challenges of producing/engineering music as a DIY musician in 2017, soundcloud rap being the new punk rock, Joe being problematic at show, controversy surrounding Stan Lee, opening up dialogue for uncomfortable situations, our different lifestyles/the pitfalls of routine, Josh’s experience working at different Asbury Park based venues, inclusiveness in the music “industry,” among other things.

When Josh isn’t working at The House of Independents in Asbury Park, he sings in School Drugs and Weird Fantasy Band .
