Remember Getting Beat Up? (with Craig Wedren of Shudder To Think)

You know Craig Wedren as the frontman for the post-hardcore band Shudder To Think and composer for the soundtrack of your favorite television shows and movies, but were you aware he grew up as a scrappy kid in the Cleveland suburbs just like us? From sharing the same hangouts as Jonah to participating in his high school's theatre program like Vanessa, we share a long list of similarities. However one thing we don't share is getting beat up, something that happened to Craig quite a few times due to his dedication to punk fashion and desire for attention from girls. However it's not all dark: We also talk about Craig's lifelong friendship with collaborator (and former band manager) David Wain, what it was like performing on Lollapalooza '94 and the origins of his seventh grade band, Immoral Majority. As if that wasn't enough, we play a game of YESTOLGIA OR NOSTALIGA where we debate the Robocop reboot, the return of Kentucky Fried Chicken's honey barbeque flavor and Mr. Pibb's second act. Be sure to pick up the deluxe edition of Craig's album, "Dream Dreaming" which is available now! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
