Punk-ish 084 (With Guest: Tim Lopez, Plain White T's)

This week on Punk-ish, I’m joined by none other than Tim Lopez, lead guitarist of Plain White T’s. Tune in as we dive into the origins of his musical journey (yes, including how he went from studying paramedic medicine to accidentally becoming part of one of the most iconic bands of the 2000s), what it felt like to be thrown into the spotlight when the T’s took off, and how the band has evolved across two decades of releases, tours, and growth together. We also dig into the dust-and-bourbon Americana sound Tim’s now carving out in Austin with his solo project, Timothy Howls, and his upcoming record release—full of late-night storytelling and highway-worn heart. And yes… we still manage to cover the Jonas Brothers, roller skating, reality TV dating, and everything in between—all while playing some killer tracks from a killer 2000s pop-rock band (wink, wink).
