I originally met Jeremy Tappero as the singer & guitarist for Attention, a band I was a big fan of and that I was excited to get to start working with. Over the past 15 years, we’ve gotten to work on records together for his own bands and bands he’s made records for, we’ve toured together, and we’ve been great friends. In this episode, we dig into his upbringing and getting into music, playing in bands such as The Gloria Record, The Stereo, and Animal Chin, and then into the history of his longtime band Attention. We go through their entire discography, and the stories that go along with each record from recording to touring. Jeremy is currently out on the road playing bass in Soul Asylum through February and March. Check out a show if the tour comes to your area, and say hi to Jeremy if you’re there. Once he gets back from tour, we will have part two of our conversation covering the studio side, and talk about making records, as well as his time in bands such as Gratitude and And We Danced, and touring with the likes of The Jealous Sound and Mineral.
