Tone Catcher tonecatcher

I vividly remember the first time I heard Good Old War's Come Back As Rain. It was March of 2012 and I had just quit my corporate job in Austin so that I could move back home to open my recording studio which would go on to become The Looking Glass. As Rach and I were packing up our tiny 668 square foot rental house, I casually opened Spotify to stream the album after reading several positive reviews. I wanted to know if the hype was real. It was one of those rare moments when the feeling of the music completely connected to the way I was feeling in my own life. Rach and I went on to spin the album continuously for an entire month as we spent time in Colorado to snowboard and plan for the year to come. I still can't listen to that album without thinking about that month in the mountains.





Fast forward to fall of 2019. I'm trying to get this podcast off the ground and somehow I knew that Good Old War's drummer/vocalist, Tim Arnold, lived in Atlanta. After several direct messages and a few weeks, Tim shows up for an in-depth interview and a Tone Zone session here at The Looking Glass. In this episode, we talk about Tim's origin story, what it was like to be signed to a label at an early age, the rise of Good Old War, being broke and finally making money on tour, living in Atlanta, his new project (Found Wild), playing with Anthony Green, and of course, gear.
