Hello and welcome to today's show, we have a good one for you. Joining the podcast today is Justin Belichis of the Jacksonville band, Glazed.

Justin looks back on the bands early work with an ear on what they were as kids and how they were shaping their sound. We also talk about why being in a band is great and we get into the importance of "community" again, it's good stuff.

Most importantly, we talk about NEW GLAZED SONGS. The band announced today their new single "Dipstick" will come out on Friday, giving all of you listeners exactly one week to learn the words to this banger so you can sing along at Fest.

If you listen to the end you can get some pretty fun Fest memories, what it's like being a smaller band at Warped Tour, and details on how you can get your hands on their new songs.

You can catch Glazed at Fest 24 on Friday night at 1:00 out at Depot Village. It's gonna be a rager.
