Pants OFF! Podcast

Matt Caughthran is the incomparable singer of L.A. punk rock band The Bronx and it's Latin flavored sister band, Mariachi El Bronx. Whether its tearing up basement punk clubs with Bronx or opening bigger arena shows with El Bronx - Matt and company have found a way to balance both reaching many people from a variety of backgrounds. We talk about striking that balance, as well as his early days growing up in East L.A., lineup changes, and some details about new the Bronx record due this fall! Ben Flanagan is the singer and bassist for Black Map. The bay area band has been busy since releasing their second album, "In Droves" last year. They've hit the road in the U.S. more than ever before touring with the likes of Chevelle and Bush. I chat with Ben about his days in early bands like The Actual and Trophy Fire, 90's comedy, Scott Weiland, signing with EOne Music, and future plans with Black Map.
