A Band Called Punchline Ep. 1: The Early Years

This week for Throwback Thursday, we’re doing something a little bit different. Between the new album Somewhere To Land just being released and Chris Fafalios being the guest on the show this past Monday, it’s a big week in the land of Punchline. To celebrate, we’re dropping the first episode of the A Band Called Punchline podcast here in the Chris DeMakes A Podcast feed. This is a documentary style look at a hard-working punk band that can be enjoyed regardless of your relationship (or lack thereof) with Punchline. Here is the description of the episode… 1997 saw the passing the Princess Diana, the rise of Tiger Woods, and the emergence of El Niño. At the same time, in the small town of Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania, it also saw the birth of the band Punchline. Started on a whim by three high school friends with a shared affinity for punk rock music, the band has forged on through several evolutions of the musical landscape. In this first episode, band members and friends reflect back on the formative years of the band. Subscribe to A Band Called Punchline wherever you get your podcasts.
