Nothing like getting to sit down with one of your favorite pop punk heroes. This week, Bailey and Tyler were lucky enough to be joined by Tom Keiger, lead singer of the early 2000s New Jersey pop punk band Houston Calls.
In 2003, Houston Calls signed to Rushmore Records, the sister label of the iconic Drive-Thru Records. Following the band’s signing, they released their debut album A Collection of Short Stories which would wind up becoming an album staple for many now 30-something-year-old pop punk fans.
The three of them dive into the early beginnings of Houston Calls, the making of the band’s debut album, the s-s-s-story behind “Bob and Bonnie”, what it was like to be on one of the most influential record labels the scene has ever had, how and why the band broke up, and where the band and Tom are today.
Will there be a reunion? You know Tyler asked this one. To find out, hit that play button and let’s re-live some nostalgia together.
