Alakrity RETROSPECTIVE - You Are Here EP & Whatever Happened to Good TV? (w/ VERY special guests: Vivid Jojo & Wayne "Grizzly" Adams)

Guys... it's time. It's finally time to talk about Brad's humble beginnings in a Christian Pop Punk band long, long, ago in the 2000s... by the name of... Alakrity. It was then that Brad was a founding member, bass player, and backup vocalist for a small group out of Beloit, WI with big dreams. They traveled from coast to coast, using their three guitarists to melt faces with gnarly double guitar solos and three vocalists to then unmelt them with angelic three-part harmonies. To back all that up, there was a solid backbone of rhythm guitar, bass guitar, and solo-infused drums. There were various incarnations of the group throughout the years, but quite possibly the best incarnation included Phil Carper as the lead guitarist/vocalist/lyricist/everything, Brad as bassist/backup vocalist/occasional lyricist, Wayne "Grizzly" Adams as second lead guitarist/backup vocalist/also occasional lyricist, Peter Murray as the rhythm guitarist/Ford Taurus appreciator, and Andy Lutz on the drums. There were a few great years, a short time with a "record label", and culminating in a performance at Summerfest and an album recorded and produced in a fancy Nashville studio--but all was not sunshine and rainbows. Eventually for #REASONS, Wayne was let go of the band and a year later, Brad as well. But now, in this Alakrity Retrospective, Brad and Wayne are finally getting into their experience being in the group and creating the "You Are Here EP" together, as well as his thoughts on some of the songs from "Whatever Happened to Good TV" that he was involved with. If you've ever wondered what all those songs are about, wonder no more, because we're breaking them all down with Wayne and returning guest (and former Alakrity roadie) Vivid Jojo!!!
