Re-Enjoy this episode from January:

In this episode of The Austin Young Show, I sit down with the Austin-based ska powerhouse Hans Gruber and the Die Hards. Recorded on the back patio of Three Links during the final stop of their tour, this conversation dives into the band’s unconventional approach to music, wild tour stories, and what it takes to keep the ska and punk scene alive. We also chat about supporting local music, the current state of the Austin music scene, and their new split EP launch. Packed with energy, humor, and insight, this is a collaboration you won’t forget.
