On episode 21 of the Flex Your Head special episodes, host Jason Schreurs welcomes back his friend Donald Kennedy. Together, they try to make sense of The Blood Brothers' 'Burn, Piano Island, Burn'. This truly bizarre album was poised for something big, yet was too unapproachable and downright oddball to be appreciated by "normal" people. Good thing we're not normal because this album is a classic in all its snotty, off-kilter weirdo-ness.

Matt Arbogast of The Gunshy joins host Jason Schreurs to talk about being accepted into the punk scene at an early age and how it accepted him without judgement. This acceptance gave Matt the freedom to explore his music on his own terms. Although he doesn't play traditional punk, instead leaning into the Americana/folk world, Matt will always consider the DIY/punk scene to be his home.

Host Jason Schreurs welcomes folk-punk singer/songwriter Black Guy Fawkes who talked about being bullied in school. Fawkes lives with trauma around his youth and other harassment he's faced in his adult life. Being accepted into the punk scene by some of the musicians he looked up to was a game-changer.
