OTSwM #62 - Ray Cappo of Youth of Today & Shelter

Perhaps the most influential frontman in hardcore and I connect for an hour long jam packed episode! Ray has lived one of the craziest lives, which he tells in his memoir “From Punk to Monk”, we get a tease of what really happened in Ray’s life. The energy, power, and emotion that Ray is able to convey in his performances is unmatched. In this episode we talk about: going into NYC, 1st time playing CBGB’s, preaching positivity, not having a specific sound, what inspired Ray to become spiritual, & more! Friday, September 25th Ray will be at the Bhakti Garden where he will be sharing stories of “KrishnaCore”, Shelter’s early days and more! Tickets still available at $10, which not only includes admission but a vegan/ vegetarian meal. Thank you Gary, of Sound Acres, as always for sponsoring this episode!
