What happens when a group of guys in their 40s decide it's finally time to stop talking about starting a punk band and actually start one?

On this episode of The Austin Young Show, Austin sits down with DFW pop-punk band Tomorrow Fades Away to talk about how the band came together, the story behind their name, their evolution from a four-piece into a three-piece, and finding their sound in the middle of the DFW punk scene.

The conversation gets into their EP More Songs Than Time, the very real story behind “Salt Lake City (Let’s Go Join A Cult),” songwriting, “ADHD,” “I Hate Phil Collins,” and the newer material including “Hey, Candy” and “Wild.” They also talk about recording their upcoming Live at Reno’s release after a show unexpectedly turned into a live album, playing with bands around the DFW scene, and their efforts to get younger people interested in going to punk shows.

There’s also talk of skate parks, acoustic shows, busking, questionable hats, Phil Collins, the possibility of accidentally becoming a ska band, and the advice Tomorrow Fades Away would give to a 15-year-old who wants to start making music.

If you're into pop punk, punk rock, DFW music, Texas punk, or discovering the bands keeping the North Texas scene moving, this conversation is worth a listen.

Mason Adams of Mason Adams Project joins The Austin Young Show for a conversation about music, family, songwriting and seeing life from a different perspective.

Mason talks about his upcoming single **“Tanqueray,” growing up with a musician dad and his lifelong connection to music. We also get into his love of jam bands and how that influence has found its way into his own approach to making music.

But the conversation doesn't stay on music.

Mason opens up about how he views life, the experiences that shape his songwriting, and one of the more unexpected pieces of his family history: his parents were part of a competitive chili cooking team.

From Dallas-Fort Worth music to jam bands, family, songwriting and the strange stories that follow us through life, this is a conversation with plenty of places to go.

Mason Adams Project currently describes its sound as a blend of Americana, folk and rock with Texas twang, and the band's current bio identifies Mason as its founder and songwriter.

Boss Riot joins The Austin Young Show to talk about Here We Go Again, their newest album and a record shaped by some very real challenges. Made during COVID while members of the band were dealing with surgeries, cancer, loss, recovery, heartbreak, fear and hope, the album became a reflection of everything life was throwing at them.

We talk about the song “Don’t Grow Up Too Fast,” the role music can play when things get difficult, the band's roots in ska, rocksteady, reggae and soul, and what it takes to keep a band alive for more than a decade.

It's a conversation about music, getting older, dealing with the hard stuff and finding reasons to keep creating anyway.
