On this episode I speak with Jon Pagano where we go all the way back to his early days playing music, what it was like relearning Weak Teeth songs for their reunion show, how showing up early for rehearsal one day landed him a spot in Best Practices, as well as how his latest band Sullest came together and what their writing process is like. Sullest debut full length album is coming out on Dec. 13th via Armageddon Label and you can pre-order the vinyl and cassette over on Bandcamp right now! Also check out the video for the first single "Dirt Mall" on YouTube which we talk a little bit about in this interview.
