Ep 073: Face First/Houston Calls w/ Jarrett Seltzer
Episode description
Face First was a Ska Punk band that formed in Mendham, NJ when Jarret Seltzer met Tom Chitty Keiger. They played in the NJ Scene for a few years and eventually realized that ska sucks my ass and evolved into the sounds that was Houston Calls. From there they did a shit ton of touring, signed to Drive-Thru, and broke up in the mid-2000s.
I got Jarrett on the phone and this is what we talk about:
- His Bagels
- Meeting “Chitty”
- Obsessions
- Starting Decibel Records
- Registering with CCM just to have health insurance
- Becoming Houston Calls
- Rushmore Records
- And a ton more
