  Very fun episode for your humble hosts today as Blake and Mark welcome Mike Reed to the show. Mike has spent the last couple of years focused on his newest project, 84 Tigers , but this year we all get to the enjoy the return of Small Brown Bike to Fest. The Michigan band formed 30 years ago and this fall they are celebrating the 25th anniversary of their classic album "Dead Reckoning" which they will play in full at Fest this fall and then in other parts of the country later this fall and winter. Mike talks about coming up in small town Michigan, finding punk at a young age, making mixtapes, following zines and labels to find new music, ending up on No Idea and much more from the early years of SBB. We also talk about some memorable shows (a bowling alley show with Cursive?), what happened right before Fest 2, playing Fest with SBB, 84 Tigers, and more, as well as what it's been like getting the band back together in the wake of loss. You can catch Small Brown Bike playing "Dead Reckoning" in full at Vivid on Saturday night.
