While Folkpunk Dad is away on tour & unable to be in the studio, we're airing an older interview Pepe gave 1 week before he went to prison in 2019. Pepe talks about originally facing 10 to life, the work he did to keep his relationship(s) intact, preparing for release before he was even sentenced, being in relationship while one partner is incarcerated, having a morning routine & working out, & how it's usually not easy to do the work that life asks of you but, it's worth it. This is an inspirational interview that can help you see there is a way through even the toughest of times.

Back On The Grind
A podcast exploring life, music, people & the stories that bring us closer.
Episodes are published on the 1st & 15th every month.
With intimate interviews, folk punk & my own personal experiences, I explore how we can show up for the story of life. There's no reason to do this alone, we can learn from each other, even if we make some mistakes along the way. Join me as I embark on a journey to figure out how to find meaning & balance, navigate relationships & culture, all while growing with you. We can survive our failures, learn from them & celebrate the victories we also achieve when we put in the work.
I have a strong connection to the folk punk & DIY, underground music community in general, so expect to hear about that too. Some other common themes on the show are, creativity, prison, addiction/recovery, spirituality, personal authority & relationships. I hope to become a valuable part of your life through my efforts here at Back On The Grind as I bring you closer to myself & the guests I converse with.
Stay Free,
Pepe Bandit
