Chapter 127: "SUPER IN LOVE WITH MUSIC" ... as read by Matt Traxler

Matt's parent's moved to a blueberry farm at the same time he had his driver's license suspended. When he got his license back he dove headfirst into the local punk and hardcore scene. Matt joined Six Feet Deep and started Steadfast Records, the label that first signed the legendary Zao! Matt put the label to rest when Brandtson signed to Deep Elm but 17 years later, a convergence of events led him to resurrect the label. Matt recalls singing the words to Little Red Corvette as a kid and touring in a haunted van. (And yes, he has a photo credit in Focused's The Hope That Lies Within)
