CC Voltage and Joseph Martin are a couple of indie rocker goofballs. They played in bands, made records, toured the world and drank a million beers. But now they’re grown up. So instead of drinking as much Labatt 50 as they possibly can, they hang out, play squash and talk about rock and roll with their buds.
The Eradicators takes you around the world to check in with like minded artists, industry professionals and musicians, hear their stories and get the skinny on the things to catch in their cities.
Their guests made it through their 20's and 30's....didn't die…. probably didn't become multi-millionaires... Maybe they did....At one time they got drunk with Philthy Animal Taylor or something like that.
It’s about the difference between rocking at 45 versus 25. It’s about managing life and staying healthy and productive and inspired. It’s about being in that place where you realize that you’re not “becoming” any more… you ARE. And it kind of rules.
