Creating A Good Future With Johnny Minardi

Brian goes solo and chats with the guy responsible for the Midwestern emo scene - well, a big part of it anyway. Johnny Minardi works as A&R for Fueled By Ramen and Roadrunner Records, currently working with artists like The Fever 333 and Grandson, but he also is one of the reasons you know The Academy Is. We discuss how someone gets to work with bands like that, developing musicians he lived with in a tiny apartment into a nationally touring enterprise, and whether or not you need to move to LA to make it (spoiler: you don't). We also talk about the positive message behind Good Future Club, a clothing label Minardi and his wife created to put more positivity into the world, working with bands and other artists to motivate and inspire us. Check him out at all of the links below - just don't send your music to him. Follow Johnny: Instagram Twitter Follow Good Future Club: Instagram Twitter Join the club!
