On this FM PUNK interview, I got Brooklyn guitar GOAT John LaMacchia, most famously the guitarist of NYC legends Candiria! We talk about John's new solo record, the show we met at, Candiria's songwriting process, the fascinating production of the album While They Were Sleeping, Warped Tour 2017 memories, the behind the scenes hard work that brought Warped Tour to life, what it was like to tour with Quicksand, playing with Julie Christmas, and the unfortunate repercussions of the accident that severely injured the band in 2002 and more. That's just the tip of the iceberg! John was also editing a music video for the band Netherlands while we were recording the interview because he's just that cool! We talked about a lot of cool stuff! 

This is one of the most fascinating interviews I've ever done! John is an absolute badass and such a nice dude and I feel like I got so much insight from this interview! Candiria is one of the most unique bands from the New York underground and they left a lasting mark on the scene! Me, my friends, my brother and even previous interview guests on my show have been inspired by their creativity and their trailblazing sound! Huge honor and privilege to have John on the show!
