Gut Feeling Podcast #26 - Tom Thacker (Gob/Sum 41)
The latest Gut Feeling Podcast is an interview with Tom Thacker, the Fraser Valley, BC-raised founding guitarist of pop-punkers Gob, and longtime member of Sum 41.
Throughout the talk, Tom touches on: getting Gob off the ground with co-founder Theo Goutzinakis; bringing punk rock shows to suburban Langley, BC in the '90s, and possibly dusting their Punk Strikes Back concert series off in 2024; record store jobs; the sonic influence of Vancouver hardcore; running away from a bull on his way to a bush party; and whether or not original Gob drummer Wolfman Pat was in fact Andy Dixon from d.b.s.'s dad.
Gob's recent round of vinyl reissues are out now through Dine Alone Records, while Tom's also bracing himself for a mega-tour supporting Sum 41's upcoming final album, Heaven :x: Hell.
The Gut Feeling Podcast is currently streaming through Apple, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and more.
