Growing up in the Peninsula, punk shows at the Pony Express pizza spot in Redwood City, Plutocracy, recording with Bart, Kevvy Kev at KZSU, meeting Kool Keith and much more are all discussed in this look back at a band that only got bigger after it was gone.

If you enjoy the show please HIT SUBSCRIBE and leave a 5 star review in the iTunes store-it really helps the show grow, get new advertisers so you dont have to hear the same Anchor one each week, and of course makes me smile. If you want to go even further, head over to www.talkinschmit.com/ and pick up some merchandise. Either way though, thank you for listening. I'd love to hear what you've learned-Cheers!

Ordered some stuff from 625 Thrash when I was a young punk and Max wrote back a really nice letter. Meant a lot to me!

Lived on Farm Hill Road in Redwood City. Max and I went to the same community college, I saw Immortal Fate a couple times, and we were both these d00ds and I never once met him. Then I met him in Vermont and now have his drum kit in my basement in Pittsburgh All hail the underground.

Now it makes sense as to why I saw Max at Asakusa Deathfest in a bastard noise hoodie last year.

Dan's MPC 2000XL making an appearance in the back. A true oldschool DJ

I was one of those few hundred people across the country keeping up with Slap A Ham releases in the 90s 😂

Ahhh, Pony Express Pizza. Saw quite a few shows there. Saw Plutocracy there in 89 or 90. Since Max mentioned Green Day I'll add that I also saw them there one time were my buddy and I were 2 of the 6 or so people there for the show. Cant remember the year on that one but it was probably same like 89-90. Definitely a cool little place to see shows back then. Hadn't thought about that place in a while. Brought back some good memories

The first Spazz I ever heard is their track on 'Short Music For Short People'. That was enough to hook me! I went to the only decent punk/HC etc record shop in town at the time ('Out Of Step' , in Leeds UK).... .... What a God - send that shop was! I bought LA REVANCHA on CD , A Desert Island Disc for sure! Over the next year or two I ended up with pretty much everything Spazz released in terms of Full Albums , Yet LA REVANCHA has always been my favorite. All releases are great mind... Just that LRev should go down in history as the BEST EVER , of those genres , It's totally in a league of it's own. There's 2 or 3 tracks on 'SWEATIN to the Oldies' that would fit well in La Revancha , I always thought..... Those tracks with the Banjo (and Jews Harp?) , and Saxophone. I can't do it (La Rev') justice with my words , but the Production is a big part of it. I don't think I'd ever considered / respected Production much at all until Spazz came along with La Revancha. Awesome 'Power Trio' , really refreshed my interest in the music , after years of just chasing a addiction. I'm sure that one way or another Spazz and Capitalist Casualties etc ETC helped me , when I made the effort to clean up. Thanks for loads of hours of the best riffage and Drum & Bass. EVERYONE SHOULD HEAR LA REVANCHA🙏❤️😊👍
