In this episode of the Lorenzo's Music Podcast, I talk with Alex Girard, a multi-talented musician from Bloomington, Illinois, who juggles multiple bands with unique styles and personas. Alex dives into his extensive musical journey, discussing his involvement in bands like No Robot, The Dusty Lemons, and Escape Rope.

Alex shares the evolution of No Robot, a band that has transitioned through various phases from jam rock to high-energy punk rock over its ten-year history. He elaborates on the dynamics of maintaining a band for such a long period and the challenges and triumphs that come with it.

The conversation then shifts to The Dusty Lemons, a band with a professional wrestling-inspired stage presence and a humorous, loose approach to performances. Alex explains the origins of their unique name and the chaotic energy they bring to their shows.

Lastly, Alex introduces Escape Rope, his latest project inspired by late '90s and early 2000s rock, blending emo, hardcore, and alternative punk. He discusses the rapid formation of the band and their plans for an upcoming EP release.
