131: Horace Pinker

Hello Fest fans! Fest 24 is next week and we have episodes for you all the way up until Wednesday next week. Joining the show today are Greg, Bryan, and Scott of Horace Pinker.

Formed in Tempe, AZ in 1991, the Chicago band has been making punk rock on their terms for 35 years now. We get into the history (some of it, at least) of the band, what they're up to in 2026 (and beyond) and how they've managed to stay active for nearly four decades.

You will hear more jaw-dropping stories and band references on this episode than any other episode we've ever done. Get ready to hear stories about Green Day, Willie Nelson, Samiam, At The Drive-In and more.

Horace Pinker is playing four shows in Florida next week. Follow them on Instagram for the full schedule and you can see them on Saturday at Boca Fiesta.
