Ep. 239: 30footFALL w/ Butch Klotz

30footFALL is an American punk rock band that began in Houston, Texas. In 1995 they released their first studio album Divided We Stand on Fuzzgun Records. After hearing a demo, Bob Becker of Fearless Records signed them to a record deal and in 1997 produced their next album Acme-143. In 1999, the band released their most successful album, Ever Revolving, Never Evolving, on Nitro Records. The release was followed by numerous shows including a tour with The Vandals.

I heard about these guys on the Fearless Flush Sampler when I got that at a local Jersey show when I was 18. That sampler introduced us to a ton of bands which we talk about in the interview. Their name has always stuck in my head so I wanted to get Butch on the Skype and thanks to Jason Mack I did and this is what we chat about:

• The Fearless Flush Sampler
• Wanting to change the name in the beginning
• Current house shows in Houston
• Jim Cherry advocating them to get on Fearless
• The Punk Bites Comp
• Playing Warped Tour
• Getting signed to Nitro
• Stopping Touring all together
• Their album Doppler Effect
• Their annual Christmas Show
• Their latest release
• the gross story
• And a ton more
