Brook Pridemore - The early days of anti-folk/folk punk, The Reflecting Skin & fun Stories #10

"After a 6 month long tour...I was drinking an awful lot, I put no light into the world at that time & when I got home I tried to kill myself & failed. That was the thing that struck me sober, that was when the unmanageability of my life was clear to me."

Folkpunk Dad talks to Brook Pridemore about the anti-folk to folk punk connection they traveled, the many lost bands of early folkpunk, community & sobrieties effect on their music. Brook also shares some personal stories they have with Pepe, Pat (the Bunny) & Ceschi.
