Episode 47: My Friend Jeff Rosenstock

Jeff Rosenstock lives and breathes DIY. He was formerly the lead singer of a band that anyone could be in, Bomb the Music Industry!, and you can download literally every piece of music he has ever worked on for free. The New York native and multi-instrumentalist has been at it since his teenage years, and shows no signs of slowing down following the release of one of 2015's best albums, We Cool? The former music-industry bomber and arrogant son-of-a-bitch undertook an Australian tour in March with former guests and friends of the show Chris Farren and Georgia Maq (with Antarctigo Vespucci and Camp Cope, respectively), and lead a guided tour through his life in punk rock, touring the world and sharing his message with anyone who will listen, across two conversations at the Factory Floor and Black Wire Records.Jeff's latest album, We Cool?, is out now through Quote Unquote Records.
