On this episode of DCxPC Live Presents: Scene Support, Scott sits down with Chad Chastain—drummer, show promoter, and founder of the Lakeland Punk Rock Flea Market. Since 2019, Chad’s created one of the Southeast’s most vibrant punk gatherings, blending art vendors, zine makers, weirdos, and bands into a DIY utopia that’s both welcoming and punk as hell. We dig into how it all started, what it takes to scale up to thousands of attendees, how he balances ethos with logistics, and why he’d rather give out free snacks than make a buck. If you’ve ever wanted to start your own flea or just love hearing from the folks who keep our scenes alive, this one’s for you. Stick around ‘til the end for TWO tracks from Chad’s band, The Kutoffs.

Topics Covered:

• Starting a punk flea market from scratch

• Vendor curation, pricing, and promotion

• Balancing DIY values with growth

• All ages shows, backlining, and porta-potties

• Scene support over profit

On this episode of DCxPC Live Presents: Scene Support, I sit down with Andy Pohl, the founder of Sell The Heart Records, a fiercely independent label that's been putting out “good f*cking music” since 2010. From humble beginnings releasing his own band’s CD to building a respected and diverse catalog spanning punk, post-rock, ska, darkwave, and more, Andy shares what it really takes to run a DIY label in today’s climate.

We dive deep into the grind of pressing vinyl, the realities of band promotion, and why building community matters more than chasing profit. Whether you’re a musician, label owner, or just someone who loves underground music, this episode is packed with honest insights, laughs, and the kind of punk ethos that reminds you why you got into this scene in the first place.

📦 Topics include:

• Why he still runs the label mostly solo

• The importance of bands doing their part

• Vinyl repressing decisions

• The highs (and lows) of collaboration

• Building a legacy while staying DIY

In this episode of DCxPC Live Presents: Scene Support, I sit down with Loren Green, editor-in-chief of the long-running online punk zine Scene Point Blank. Since 2003, SPB has been a vital voice in punk journalism—focusing on deep-dive reviews, thoughtful interviews, and a fiercely DIY ethos.

Loren discusses the origins of the site, how it grew out of an AFI message board, and how he got involved in 2008 before eventually taking the reins. From the early days of ordering records through liner note thank-yous to reviewing hundreds of submissions from around the globe, Loren shares his journey as both fan and editor.

Together, they explore the struggles of staying creative, the ethics of paid reviews, the future of media, and why live albums and authenticity still matter. Whether you're in a band, run a label, or just love the scene, this episode is packed with insight, stories, and punk-as-hell heart.
