Happy New Year! Welcome to 2024. This is the first episode of the rest of our lives.

In this episode we have Zack Charlos and Angelo Celli of the band Bracket talking all things Bracket, including, touring with MxPx back in the day, the inner workings of band life, what to expect in 2024, Bracket side projects, upcoming shows, overcoming the fear of flying and much more! Let’s go 2024!

From Wiki- Bracket is an American rock band from Forestville, California formed in 1992. The lineup consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Marty Gregori, bassist and backing vocalist Zack Charlos, drummer Ray Castro, and guitarist and backing vocalist Angelo Celli. Bracket has issued numerous albums, EPs and singles since its inception, including many releases for Caroline Records and Fat Wreck Chords. Their sound could most easily be described as power pop influenced punk rock with a continued focus on vocal harmonies.
