If Patrick and his band don't bring you a smile, I don't know what to do to help you but I have faith in you. I brought Patrick on the show to discuss his south OC upbringing, ska zines and how Limbeck sat squarely at the intersection of being "too punk for country and too country for punk". He also tells us of some wild advertising stories that he and his friends participated in. Listen and enjoy...

Boy oh boy do I love Dying Wish and in turn, I had to have Emma Boster the vocalist of said band on the pod ASAP.
