In this episode of Just Press Record, Matt Zeigler brings together two icons from different eras of punk rock - Ned Russin (Title Fight, Glitterer) and Keith Morris (Black Flag, Circle Jerks, OFF!) - for a candid, passionate conversation about music, community, and the punk ethos. Recorded during a turbulent moment in U.S. politics, this intergenerational exchange explores how punk has evolved while staying true to its roots in DIY, brotherhood (literal in Ned's case, figurative in Keith's - you have to hear the Jeffrey Lee Pierce segment, and the raw energy you can only get from live performance. Come for the stories, stay for the mutual respect, the laughs, and definitely a few unforgettable tales from the road.
