Chris Leo is the guitarist, singer and a founding member of The Van Pelt. Their newest record Remain Obscure is out on September 18th via Earnest Jenning records. Chris and Joe discuss the 20+ year journey of The Van Pelt, why the band finds themselves consistently reuniting and the unique circumstances that brought them back together for the new record. Chris tells us how his writing has evolved into what it is today, why it’s still a process in motion and a sustainable vehicle for his expression. We learn why Chris felt he needed to leave his home state of New Jersey and why his traveling and touring experiences brought him back. The two share meaningful experiences of their early life on the road and we sample a new tune from Remain Obscure
