Pants OFF! Podcast

Zach Johnson is the guitarist for metal and hardcore outfit, The Ghost Inside. After a catastrophic bus accident in 2015 put TGI on indefinite hiatus, Zach has found himself home in Des Moines for the longest period of time in almost a decade having to undergo and recover from numerous surgeries and procedures. This is far cry from his fast paced life of recording records and relentless worldwide touring TGI had become known for. Prior to those unfortunate events, Zach spent his teens and late twenties, touring the country in pop punk band The Lifestyle, followed by a stint in the more prominent straight edge hardcore outfit, Too Pure to Die. We talk cutting his teeth in those formidable bands, gun avidity, life post accident, his continuing recovery, and the optimism of an eventual return to his life with The Ghost Inside again down the road.
