My friend, Dave Gomez, has not been on Pop-Punk & Pizza Podcast since episode 28 in 2017 when he was in a band called, Night Terrors. A lot has happened with Dave since then. He's won his battle with cancer and started a new band named, Summer Curse. We also get a special acoustic performance from Dave on this episode!

Happy Thanksgiving! Time to trade in that turkey leg for a slice of pizza. I'm excited to welcome back Caitlin Edwards of Chicago ska punk band, Bumsy and The Moochers. A lot has changed since the first time she was on Pop-Punk & Pizza Podcast back in September 2019. Including Bumsy and The Moochers getting signed to Sell The Heart Records! Caitlin and I talk about the band's latest single, "Cathy Ann", which is a fun song about her mother.
I wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you know how thankful I am to have your love and support!
Much Love,
Jacques LaMore

Stephen Krypel & Teejay Burkett of World War Me
Pop-Punk & Pizza Podcast #195: World War Me
The last time I talked with World War Me was in October of 2020 via Zoom. Now members Stephen Krypel and Teejay Burkett have joined me in person for the full Pop-Punk & Pizza Podcast experience! I'm happy they did too because Stephen was able to perform three acoustic songs for us. One of the songs is unreleased. How about that!
World War Me has plans to release new music in 2022.

A Tiger Made of Lightning
Pop-Punk & Pizza Podcast #193: A Tiger Made of Lightning
When I was first introduced to A Tiger Made of Lightning in 2020, the project consisted of just one member named, Mike O'Leary. Now fast forward one year later and Mike was able to form a full band around him! Mike joins us on this episode of Pop-Punk & Pizza to discuss the release of their debut EP, It's Chaos, Be Kind.
Thank you for the reminder that we all need to remain kind in the chaos.

Jimmy & Joe of Capgun Heroes.
Pop-Punk & Pizza Podcast #191: Capgun Heroes
When it comes to pop punk, Chicago's Capgun Heroes play it in the vein of The Ramones. It's fast, yet poppy. Members Jimmy and Joe sat down in person with me for some pizza and beer to discuss their debut album, Last Call For Adderall. The new record is out now via Hey Pizza Records.
I apologize if the audio sounds subpar on this episode. I didn't have my mics hooked up properly. Luckily, I at least had audio from one of my cameras I could use. Sorry about that!
Much Love,
