For the last episode of 2020 Nick chats to Alex Goldman, co-host of Gimlet’s Reply All podcast, about his days playing noisecore, pop-punk, and a little something in between the two, while growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Alex and Nick talk about paying tribute to the noisecore coming out of other corners of Michigan while Alex was growing up, playing in bands with local celebs and guerrilla gigs on the counter of popular sandwich stores, among other things. Oh, and amazingly audio has survived from all three of Alex’s bands, so listen out for that throughout the episode!
