In this episode, Stryker welcomes Chris "Christo" Bowman and Gavin Bennett from Bad Suns to the Tuna on Toast Podcast Studio aka my second bedroom.
Before the guys even get going, a chat about the decor in the room leads to a really funny chat about reality TV. From Flavor of Love to Real Chance of Love. Below Deck and Million Dollar Listing. Bad Suns released their 4th full length studio album called Apocalypse Whenever on January 28th 2022 (this chat was conducted in mid January) Gavin and Christo discuss meeting each other in 7th grade, playing gigs in high school. and the influence Blink 182 had on the band. This is a great refresher on the history of the band. Christo tells a great story about his Mom, who is a flight attendant, she gave a Bad Suns CD to a passenger on the plane who worked for Interscope Records, that CD ended up in the hands of their producer, Eric Palmquist. Gavin and Bennett also discuss signing with Epitaph Records, a label they have loved since before they had a record deal. Stryker, Gavin and Bennett talk about the Apocalypse Whenever infomercial and how it came to be. The guys also talk about the recent Angels and Airwaves tour and how cool Tom Delonge was to tour with for a variety of reasons which Christo reveals. A lot of ground is covered in this chat. Bad Suns are talented, and have a wonderful dedicated fan base that continues to grow. Sit back, relax and thanks for watching/listening to another episode of Tuna on Toast.
