Joe Boynton (Transit, narrowcast.)

Joe Boynton is the singer of legendary pop punk band, Transit. This is a special episode for our host, Alessandro DeCaro, as Boynton is one of his biggest musical influences. In this interview, Boynton walks through the entire Transit discography in detail - outlining the thought process for each record, what was going on in their lives, and what was the dynamic of the band as a whole. 

Boynton is now a part of shoegaze indie duo, narrowcast., who have just released a new EP on October 28th on Firestarter Records. 

Transit fans are finally getting the answers they've been waiting for since the band's disbanding. We can't think of a better first guest for the debut episode of EMOlition Derby. 

This episode is dedicated to Tim Landers.
