#QuarterNotes #JohnWright #DeadBob #NoMeansNo This is a BIG ONE!! For all you punk rock elites out there….my guest is one of Canada’s pioneer punk rock drummers…John Wright! In 1979, John formed (with his brother Rob) one of the most iconic punk bands from the Canadian West coast…Nomeansno. Together they created a unique sound that continues to influence countless bands all over the globe (that’s right, it’s not flat). Not to be a one trick pony, John then took on the mantle of the ‘frontman’ for their side project, The Hanson Brothers.  After an extended break from playing music, John is back with his new project ‘DEAD BOB’, and it is a tour de force breaking through the norm of musical genres, nothing is off limits and his drumming is just as intense and inspiring as ever!
