This Was The Scene Podcast

Welcome everyone to This Was The Scene, the podcast that takes a look back at the late 90s / early 2000 Punk scene, I am your host, Mike Doyle.

Random Task was the younger band in the scene who were solid dudes to hang out with any time I saw them at shows. I typically talked to Ben and Evan and still think Evan’s write up of my band’s CD for his zine Braceface was shit and he should go back and do a better one. I reached out to Ben and asked if he’d like to talk about summers passed and he said that he would like that. And this is what we talked about. Peeing on the Hollywood sign Going to the same school as
