Guilhem Martinez - Montreal
Listen now
Description
On this week’s show, we travel to Canada to speak with musician, festival founder, and renaissance man Guilhem Martinez. I first met Guilhem in Florida and, after speaking to each other for a bit, we discovered we may have previously crossed paths earlier in Scotland at Dundee’s Book Yer Ane Fest. Guilhem, casually mentioned he helped to produce a similar festival in Canada that I should come play sometime. I later discovered it was the highly lauded Pouzza Fest that I’d been hearing about for years.  In this episode we discuss Pouzza Fests’ humble beginnings and how, unassumingly, Guilhem helped turn it into one of the most highly respected festivals in the punk community. We also talk about the difference between French and English speaking punk bands and learn more about Montreal.  Today we hear music from Yesterday's Ring and NOBRO from Canada and Jeff Rosenstock from New York City.
