Aim. Ready</a>. Recorded after the death of their long time singer John Kezdy, the Effigies are out in the world once more… thanks in part to… the Black Crowes? They are playing and touring again with new vocalist Geoff Sabin. Paul speaks of the original Chicago punk rock scene, touring before the internet: fanzines, phone cards, GPS. Covering the Stranglers, Why the internet makes discovery easier AND harder: algorithms and filters. The tragic bike accident that ended John’s life, how the right drummer matters, remembering what you like about each other 10 years after breaking up, Robert McNaughton’s work on the Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer soundtrack. And so much more. Paul is a punk rock legend!<br /></p> <p class="wp-block-image size-large"></p> <p><a href="itpc://www.protonicreversal.com/podcast/feed.xml"><img decoding="async" src="http://www.protonicreversal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Apple_Podcast_Icon-150x150.png" alt="Subscribe or listen via Apple Podcasts" width="50" height="50"/></a><a href="https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5yYWRpb25vcGUuY29tL3BvZGNhc3RzL3Byb3RvbmljcmV2ZXJzYWwvZmVlZC54bWw%3D"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://www.protonicreversal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/google-podcasts-150x150.png" alt="Subscribe or listen via Google Podcasts" width="50" height="50"/> </a><a href="http://www.protonicreversal.com/podcast/feed.xml"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://www.protonicreversal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/rss-512-150x150.png" alt="Protonic Reversal RSS Feed" width="50" height="50"/></a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/6jocilpvbL12mhZKvscPhx?si=w2mrKbyKQBK9BbvKCa1EZA"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://www.protonicreversal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/spotify_icon_130826-150x150.png" alt="Spotify Podcasts" width="50" height="50"/></a><a href="https://www.pandora.com/podcast/conan-neutrons-protonic-reversal/PC:24747"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://www.protonicreversal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/PikPng.com_pandora-logo-png_840733-150x150.png" alt="Protonic reversal on Pandora Podcasts" width="50" height="50"/></a></p> <audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-4780-1" preload="none" style="width: 100%;" controls="controls"><source type="audio/mpeg" src="https://www.protonicreversal.com/podcast/media/2026-11-02_ep475-paulzamost.mp3?_=1" /><a href="https://www.protonicreversal.com/podcast/media/2026-11-02_ep475-paulzamost.mp3">https://www.protonicreversal.com/podcast/media/2026-11-02_ep475-paulzamost.mp3</a></audio> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe title="Spotify Embed: Ep475: Paul Zamost (The Effigies)" style="border-radius: 12px" width="100%" height="152" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" [...]
