John talks with Eric Bressler, the guy who runs the best venue in Philadelphia! They chat about Punknews' summer soirees, the challenges in running a venue, dangerous art, if Diplo is a cool guy, and Sparks!
Scowl is one of a handful of new hardcore bands blowing up at the moment. And, more importantly, they are a band with ska roots. Specifically, their bassist Bailey Lupo, who used to play bass in San Jose ska-punk band The Caps (or CAPS). So, we brought them on to get all the deets on their ska past. Bailey told us about packing records at Asian Man Records as a teen. (They begged Mike Park to release the Scowl record in 2020, but he passed). Bailey talked about recently meeting JER in Gainsville and vowed to our audience that, one day, Scowl would collaborate with Skatune Network. And they talked about the bands that influenced The Caps: The Specials, Choking Victim and a whole slew of surf bands. But we got even deeper and talked about the late 2000s/early 2010s San Jose punk scene they came from and talked about legendary groups like Leer, Hard Girls (featuring Jeff Rosenstock's guitarist Mike Huguenor), Monstrauss (Who played ska & grunge ie Skunge), Matsuri, Stickup Kid and Point of View. And of course, we had to talk about San Jose's weirdest punk venue, Nickel City. Hyper Ska artist Eichlers wrote a song about the venue on their sophomore record. We also talk about touring with Limp Bizkit, what it was like to have thousands of kids show up to their Real Bay Shit shows, seeing Laura Stevenson at a backyard BBQ in San Jose, and we discuss the horrible Punknews comments they sifted through every day. Most importantly, we talked about Adam and Aaron's old band, Gnarboots! Support the show

In 2002, Punknews.org said this about From Autumn to Ashes… If you like your hardcore loud, fast, with floor punching breakdowns and screaming metal guitars then this is for you. If you like your softer, emotional, heart-felt tunes that make you close your eyes and think of buttercups in a field on a warm summer's day, then this is for you. If you like the two styles smashed together, violently, then stop reading and run to your local music store. From Autumn to Ashes is an American post-hardcore band from Long Island, New York. Releasing 4 full length records between 2001 and 2007, the band would then call it a day on good terms, claiming they had achieved everything they had wanted to achieve with the band. Today From Autumn to Ashes remains a part-time project, reuniting for small reunion shows on occasion much to the delight of fans.

Mike Biancaniello was born into music production and songwriting and recently had a number one hit with christian-artist, Switch. So naturally it made sense for Mike to produce a record for a Satan-worshipping heathen like Divided Heaven.

Release date 10/01/21 In this episode I talk with Donny "Mad Beard" Zuzula of the Michigan based punk trio The Tosspints. As Tom Trauma from PunkNews.org put it; “He writes unbelievably confident sounding songs about his lack of confidence. The music and lyrics are the voice for the words he is unable to speak. It's so emotionally raw that it might make a squeamish listener turn away”. The same could be said for this conversation, Donny is willing to go wherever the conversation leads. He tells me about his experiences as a disabled war veteran and the life changing event of getting his service dog. Listen on Apple podcasts https://apple.co/3lblMRb or anywhere podcasts are found.

He just recently had the band Midtown on his show. He's also interviewed members of Sum 41, Homegrown, Propaghandi, and Pears. This was a fun one, we talk about touring, creativity, living with a pandemic, and coming out the other side. Enjoy!
This week, we have a special episode where Andy and a solid crew of guests break down their favorite albums of 2020. As crazy of a year as it has been, it has been a fantastic year for music, with a grip of incredible albums being released. Andy is joined by Kendra Sheetz (editor of The Bad Copy), Rob Castellon (founder of Wiretap Records), John Gentile (feature editor of Punknews.org), three of the four members of Philadelphia ska band Catbite, and Dominic Davi (bassist of Tsunami Bomb). Each one of them has a unique list of favorite from the year, and a lot of their picks may surprise you. There are only a few albums that are repeated, which is actually really great to hear. We created a Spotify Playlist with all of the albums mentioned in these lists, which you can listen to here: https://spoti.fi/2KhjxNf Question The Answers is co-sponsored by The Bad Copy and Sell The Heart Records, be sure to follow them as well to stay up to date on music news, reviews, and to check out the releases on our label.

This week, Andy is joined by John Gentile, a long standing feature editor at Punknews. For those unfamiliar, Punknews is a music news website that has been going strong for over 20 years, centered mainly on artists within the punk rock scene, and has been one of the main sources for up-to-date information about bands across many sub-genres ranging from hardcore to ska to shoegaze to noise. John has been contributing there for much of it's existence and has some great stories to tell about his time. We dive into the history of the website and go into some of the bigger stories that they've "broke" over the years. We also chat about why we are still dealing with the punk police after all of these years, and how the newer generation of punks aren't necessarily following in those footsteps. He gives me a nice breakdown about the Philadelphia music scene, and provides his top ten albums. To see the site, go to https://www.punknews.org.
