Episode Description
Today we're interviewing drummer Erik Tunison and author Sahan Jayasuriya to discuss every album by Die Kreuzen. While the band began as ferocious hardcore punk in the early 80s, they quickly evolved. With every subsequent record, they were always a few years ahead of their time, pioneering genres like noise rock, alt rock, and grunge. Now, Erik and Sahan (author of Don't Say Please: The Oral History of Die Kreuzen) are here to tell us the entire fascinating story of Die Kreuzen.
