S8E407 - Big Drill Car 'Album Type Thing' with Dan Bonebrake

When this week's returning guest, bass player/musician Dan Bonebrake (The Lightworkers, Dashboard Confessional, The Enablers...etc) was discovering punk rock in the late 80s, he was already well on his way to becoming a 'player' in his own right. Costa Mesa, California band Big Drill Car and their 1989 debut 'Album Type Thing' (or CD/Tape Type Thing depending on the format) - with its concise, catchy songs and fiercely tight playing - was right up his musical alley. Turn it up!!
