Keith sits down with Jason Farrell to discuss the internal drive to constantly be working, discovering hardcore and punk music through skateboarding in DC in the late 80's, the scene at the time, witnessing the rise of bands like Fugazi, Rites of Spring, and Dag Nasty, the formation of Swiz, the history of the band and their initial breakup. We also discuss the formation and history of Bluetip, signing with Dischord records, their tours with At the Drive In, the end of Bluetip, Jason's move to NYC and the formation of Retisonic, the Swiz reunion and their recent shows, their soon to be released band book "Swiz" and more.
