Welcome to Episode 313 of Life In The Stocks. My guest this week is Joe Escalante from The Vandals. I had the pleasure of Joe's company and friendship on the Flogging Molly Cruise last year and it was wonderful to welcome him onto the podcast. We talk about discovering punk rock, switching Fat Mike onto punk rock, and building a life and career out of punk rock. We also discuss how the classic Vandals line-up of Joe Escalante, Dave Quackenbush, Warren Fitzgerald and Josh Freese came about, and the relationship between those four guys over the years. Joe also works in TV & Film and he now manages Sublime, so we get into some of that stuff as well, and we even touch a little on faith and spirituality at the end. I hope you all enjoy this one as much as me.
