Ep. 26 | "Recording Hits With Your Heroes"

From ages 5 to 12, Chad Tepper and his family were homeless, finding different places to sleep every night. Listening to bands like Simple Plan and Bowling for Soup gave him the escape he needed and convinced him to pursue music as a career. After gaining attention online for his wild antics, he reached out to Pierre Bouvier and Jaret Reddick directly to tell them how big of a fan he was and that he wanted to make a song. Now, he has a hit record with each one.

Kevin interviews Pierre Bouvier and Jaret Reddick to ask them what they thought when Chad reached out to them and what it took to convince them to make a record! Kevin also asks them if there's a difference in recording now, with a newer pop-punk artist, versus back when they were headliners. Plus, Chad shares his perspective on the music industry as an independent artist for his entire career and, what he would want from a label if he were to get signed.
