## Resource

Back when Less Than Jake released their landmark album Hello Rockview in 1998, they chose “History of a Boring Town” and “All My Best Friends Are Metalheads” as the record’s singles. Tucked away at track 13 was “Scott Farcas Takes It On The Chin,” a song that had been previously released by the band and became something of an afterthought during the recording sessions. Decades later, it has endured as a fan favorite, thanks to its heartfelt lyrics and raw energy. This week, Chris DeMakes A Podcast producer Chris Fafalios steps into the host chair to dig into the mind and songwriting process of Chris DeMakes, breaking down every detail of this ska punk classic.
