268. 99 Red Balloons by Goldfinger

You know those moments in your life where you know you’re going to come away from that moment a completely different person? That’s what hearing 99 Red Balloons for the first time was for us. It’s the reason we’re friends. It’s the reason we ended up starting a band that we played in all through high school. It very well may be the reason we love pop-punk as much as we do. And it all started with a weird German song in the 90s that captivated the hearts of 3rd wave ska captains, Goldfinger. Thanks for everything, John Feldmann. And sorry for everything, as always…
