Ep 073: Face First/Houston Calls w/ Jarrett Seltzer

Face First was a Ska Punk band that formed in Mendham, NJ when Jarret Seltzer met Tom Chitty Keiger. They played in the NJ Scene for a few years and eventually realized that ska sucks my ass and evolved into the sounds that was Houston Calls. From there they did a shit ton of touring, signed to Drive-Thru, and broke up in the mid-2000s.

I got Jarrett on the phone and this is what we talk about:

• His Bagels
• Meeting "Chitty"
• Obsessions
• Starting Decibel Records
• Registering with CCM just to have health insurance
• Becoming Houston Calls
• Rushmore Records
• And a ton more
