Part One with Dan & Jeremy of The Great Redneck Hope - ep.32
Hey there everyone! This week we had the pleasure of hanging with two Colorado Springs home town legends Jeremy Grobsmith and Dan Harvey. Both of these guys have been around the music community for all of their adolescent and adult lives and they know how to have a good time. Needless to say, this experience was way too much fun to contain into just one hour, so we decided to let the microphones keep riding and split this sucker into a two part episode. Here in part one you'll get to hear a hilarious and genuine run down of their time spent in the The Great Redneck Hope., while next time we wrap it all up discussing who they are as regular people and what prompted them to start their new band, Worry. Grab a seat people, because this one is fun as hell! Support the show

Hey hey everyone!This week we get to hang out with Denver local and hardcore frontman, Gary Chernyavsky from of the band "Line Brawl."

His outlook and philosophies on touring, playing shows, and maintaining personal life are truly something of value for any band or artist looking to make in music.
