Seas. 4 - Ep. 17 - The Darker Sounding Side of Skate Punk with Tony Conner of Philly band twentytwo.

Author: Powered By Rock June 26, 2023 Duration: 54:17

Hello and welcome to the Powered By Rock podcast where I am going to be speaking with Tony Conner of the Pennsylvania punk band 22. (twentytwo.) today.

The band has previously released an EP called “505 Palomar Pl.” in 2020 which came out just days into the pandemic which was definitely a big deterrent to growing any band’s visibility and fanbase during that time.

The band has a brand new EP coming out this year, and their first single called “The Sound” has just been released this month, and you can go check it out on your streaming platform of choice right now.

The song is high energy, and rips in the skate punk genre but with a slightly heavier sound to it, if you ask me.

Intro Music: "Colorado" by Birds Love Filters

Outro Music: "Snail Mail" by Speedway Sleeper
