Clark Domae is the lead guitarist and founding member of the Pop-Punk band Rufio. In this episode, Clark takes us down memory lane with candid conversations about his time with his band that evokes serious nostalgia about the Emo and Pop-Punk scenes of the early 2000s.

From sold-out crowds at the Vans Warped Tour to running marathons, and being a full-time father; Clark has led an awesome life worth writing about! (or podcasting).

Mr. Roddy Moreno is the lead vocalist for the seminal punk rock band The Oppressed. Formed in 1981 in Cardiff City, Wales; The Oppressed are a staunch anti-fascist/anti-racist band who took a stand against neo-Nazis within the Oi! music scene and elsewhere in the 1980s. Roddy Moreno is also a pioneer of the Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice movement (S.H.A.R.P.) in the United Kingdom.
