Parry Gripp from Nerf Herder

Episode 424:
Alright Squadies, time for Turned Out A Punk! Today on the show, Damian is joined by a songwriter beloved by his whole family: Nerf Herder’s Parry Gripp! Listen in as the two discuss: the journey from hearing the Ramones on Dr. Demento as a kid to collaborating with him Weird Al on a song. The all too short ride to the top, Weezer’s tenuous punk connections, hoagie anthems for Wawa, the power of “It’s Raining Tacos”, writing the themes for Buffy the Vampire, Superhero Squad and more: don’t miss this one!

Also, don’t miss the 20th anniversary reissue of “American Cheese”, out now on Fat Wreck Chords!
