Season 7 Ep. 7 - BELLBOX

FINALLY! It's a rough edit with no intro or outro but the episode is now on podcast platforms.

This week on the ImVibes Podcast, we sit down with Jay, singer and songwriter for Charlotte/Wilmington punk outfit Bellbox. Jay talks about stepping away from music, finding his way back, and realizing that sometimes you just have to make music because you love it.

We get into how Bellbox came together, the band’s unique lineup and chemistry, their DIY recording process, and why they made releasing vinyl a priority from the very beginning. With their new single “Happy Pill” out NOW and more songs already recorded for future seven-inch releases, Bellbox clearly isn’t wasting any time.

Jay also shares stories about his musical influences, the Chapel Hill punk scene, Superchunk and Archers of Loaf, Riot Fest, touring, old friends, vinyl collecting, and the realities of being a middle-aged punk rocker with a family and a day job.
It's a conversation about punk rock, friendship, getting older, making records, and refusing to stop doing the thing you love.

This is our golf.
