For most of the music world TIM MCILRATH is the front person of Rise Against; one of the biggest bands to come out of punk. But around these parts Tim is also known as the link between the disparate scenes of 90’s Chicago DIY Punk. Join Tim & Damian as they nerd out about one of Chicago’s most important cultural periods. From Los Crudos mixtapes, to Pete Wentz being born to make it, to Victory’s unique place in the ecosystem, to Bill Stevenson’s mentorship, to getting dropped off at DIY shows in Fat Mike’s private limo: THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED!
