Happy new year everyone! Mark Younger-Smith from rock band, The Broken Things is my first guest for the new year and decade! Mark co-wrote, recorded and toured the world with Billy Idol during the "Charmed Life" and "Cyber Punk" years. He's also played with Joe Cocker, Tom Jones, Charlie Sexton and many more. The Broken Things is currently releasing singles, ("Devil Makes Three", "Down" and "So Low") and playing shows. Go to thebrokenthings.bandcamp.com to hear the music and you can find them on Instagram and Facebook. You can find his custom guitar straps, Smith Straps HERE. Mark and I have a great conversation about touring with Charlie Sexton, writing, making records and touring with Billy Idol, producing other bands, writing, recording and performing with his new band, The Broken Things and much more! I had a great time catching up with Mark and hearing these great rock stories. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
