Blag Dahlia on Living On Music

Known professionally as Blag Dahlia (born Paul Cafaro), he is an American singer and record producer, best known as the vocalist and frontman of Dwarves, a punk rock band which he founded while attending Highland Park High School in suburban Chicago in the mid-1980s.   With the Dwarves, he has written and produced nearly a dozen studio records over a span of over 30 years. Formed as a garage punk band under the name Suburban Nightmare, their career subsequently saw them move in a hardcore direction before settling into an eclectic punk rock sound emphasizing intentionally shocking lyrics. They have been described as "one of the last true bastions of punk rock ideology in the contemporary musical age." Blag has also written three books and has done a slew of other creative projects, including a song he wrote for an episode of  the animated SpongeBob SquarePants.
