The Jared Rohde from Counterpunch Episode
Hey friends!
It's been a minute since I've been able to get a podcast out into the world. Long story short my computer blew up a few weeks back and I had to send it away to get looked at. Unfortunately, all of the files for the podcast are on a corrupted drive, so I had to re-record everything from scratch.
On today's episode, I'm excited to share a conversation that I had about a month ago with Mr. Jared Rohde!Jared is the bassist/vocalist for @counterpunchrock. He's also currently playing bass for Death by Stereo. Other bands that he's played in include @elwaytheband, @chartattackmusic, and @unit91official.
Jared was a lot of fun to talk to. He and his band Counterpunch put out a phenomenal skate punk record last year. I listened to it a ton and it was one of my favorites for the year.We discuss all things punk rock. Getting into skate punk. Touring in bands, and what it's like to release music now as an adult with other obligations.
He just hit the road with another legendary band Death by Stereo, and we chat about that, as well.
I hope you enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with Mr. Jared Rohde. -
