Scott sits with the frontman of alt rock '90s giants Everclear, Art Alexakis, and gets into it all in person… They dive into his upbringing and trouble youth, with Art sharing stories about breaking into homes to go through medicine cabinets and his family's hardships, as well as his musical journey and when he learned how to play guitar and what music he was surrounded and influenced by as a struggling musician. They talk about bands that inspired Everclear, from Zeppelin to X and everything in between, and get into some of his early bands including Colorfinger. They discuss Art's experience within the cowpunk scene in LA, how he started his record label, and when he took out an ad in The Rocket at 30 years old to start a new band, which then resulted in the forming of Everclear in Portland. They discuss pivotal moments in his career like the band's signing to Capitol and the meaning behind some of their biggest hits like "Father of Mine." Along the way they discuss Art's battle with MS, and last but not least, the band's newest album and, of course, some great "Top 5s!" Tune in to a great episode!
