Matthew Rix welcomes back Chris Jesus of Crazy & The Brains for round two, and a lot has happened since their last conversation. Chris opens up about the band’s time working with Tim Armstrong of Rancid, what it’s been like releasing singles through Hellcat Records, and the creative lessons he’s picked up along the way.
He also breaks down how the band managed to write, record, and release nine singles in 2025, pulling back the curtain on the process that keeps their momentum going.
The two dig into Crazy & The Brains’ U.S. tour with The Casualties, the influence that tour had on the band’s sound and drive, and why coming out of New Jersey shapes their work ethic in a big way.
It’s a fast, honest look at one of the hardest-working punk bands out there. Tune in and catch up with Chris Jesus as he charts the band’s growth, grit, and nonstop energy.
