The Chicago CBS affiliate did a story on the Smoking Popes. As a guy that grew up in the punk scene in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, they are by far my fave band.

A great recent performance from the best band to ever come the punk scene where I grew up in the suburbs north of Chicago. The Caterer brothers and drummer Mike Felumlee are fantastic. #SmokingPopes

Smoking Popes - Born to Quit

Here’s something I missed back in the day - a guitar forward pop album, with a bunch of tight, short songs.

Amusingly, there’s a quote from Morissey on the sticker:

“Extraordinary, the most lovable thing I’d heard in years.”

He would think that, since the vocalist sounds *just* like him. Oh, the self-regard…

Alright! Good morning. So I think I'm getting sick 🤧 but I can't be missing work rn so I gotta tough it out!

Anywho, here's today's track from my upcoming 13 track album which drops on December 23rd.

This one is called "I Don't Believe in Ghosts (So Why Are You Still Around?)"

NGL I was listening to a lot of #smokingpopes when I was working on this track lol
