Skylar Fitzpatrick joins the pod to talk about The Story So Far's "Under Soil And Dirt."

Though Denis Buckley didn't join a band until he was 21 years old, he quickly made up for lost time when that first band went on to become a legendary Chicago punk outfit that would still be around more than a quarter century later. After trying out for a lead singer spot, Buckley became the final piece in 88 Fingers Louie. Well, he technically became the final piece in "Platypus Rex" before the band wisely changed its name to 88 Fingers Louie a few weeks later. Recently, Buckley told My First Band host Tyler Maas about his school-age choir prowess, the chance circumstances that led to him joining 88 Fingers Louie, the rapid rise from brand-new group to getting signed to Fat Wreck Chords, unforgettable early shows with NOFX and Rancid, and his modern day musical outlook during the uncertain era of COVID-19. Over the course of the hour-long discussion, Buckley also talked about his stints in other bands like The Story So Far — well before the other band by the same name existed — and Explode And Make Up. Buckley also opened up about the time he got into a fight with an audience member at a show in Milwaukee, which Maas attended/witnessed, and the cartoon-inspired origin 88 Fingers Louie's band name. My First Band is sponsored by Mystery Room Mastering and Live From the Rock Room. The show is edited by Jared Blohm. You can listen to My First Band on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify and wherever else you get podcasts. Music used in this show comes courtesy of Devils Teeth ("The Junction Street Eight Tigers") and 88 Fingers Louie ("Our Tired Vices").

With two years to hone his craft, Belor has truly become one of the most powerful wizards in Taldor. With a single spell, he has found a destination for their pursuit: the town of Hyden, in eastern Taldor.

It's been nearly two years since the War for the Crown. After General Pythareus stood down, there wasn't much standing between Eutropia and her long-awaited crown. With their mission complete, the party went (mostly) their separate ways, returning to their old lives with newfound fame and fortune. Nothing lasts forever though, especially not a relaxing retirement!

We have our new orders: stop General Pythareus, by any means necessary, and bring him to justice! Extracting him from his castle defenses may be our party's greatest challenge yet, and before we commit to an operation like that, we will need whatever allies we can get.

Dara is blessed (cursed?) with a divine Geas from the Boneyard. Nell is unconscious and in custody, with no idea where he's being taken.

Things have taken a downturn for the party. Jeroth continues to outplay our every move, and the city of Zimar is now wholly against us.

Martella has a new task for our heroes, one that will send them to the farthest reaches of the Taldan empire. Yanmass is a merchant city in the Avin Prefecture, the northernmost region of Taldor.

With Martella freed, and the contract taken out upon the party by the Brotherhood of Silence canceled, the storm seems to finally have passed. Taldor still stands with no ruler, and the War for the Crown is truly beginning. Senators from all over the country are throwing their hats in the ring!

The party has finally returned to the surface, and gets their first glimpse of Oppara after the slaughter in the Senate. This is far from time to relax: they now know their benefactor, Martella, is being held by the Brotherhood of Silence somewhere inside the city! Their own needs and injuries must come first, however.

Wounded, shaken, and low on resources, the party need to find a way out of the Senate sublevels before they meet their end.

Trapped in what seems to be a doomsday bunker, the party has no way to get back to Martella or the chaos of the Exaltation Gala. There seems to be no way out of this closed system of 4 small rooms.
