Episode 302 - Paul Mahern of Zero Boys

Zero Boys frontman Paul Mahern drops by Thunderlove Studio to talk with the guys about the band’s album Vicious Circle… and Punk Rock.

In addition to fronting what is arguably the seminal pop-punk band Zero Boys, Paul Mahern is a Grammy-Nominated producer/engineer and manned the boards behind several platinum albums. He’s worked with artists as varied as Afghan Whigs, Iggy Pop, The Fray, and Neil Young and built a very successful working relationship with John Mellencamp. 

Paul is also a music archivist and a college professor (he teaches a class called The History of Punk) - go figure. :)

Check out the links below to his work.
