About This Podcast

Since 1997, Punchline set out to write meaningful, heartfelt songs and share them with the world. At the same time, they were also unknowingly writing one of the strangest band stories imaginable. This podcast serves to tell that story, straight from the mouths of the people who lived it, and in a more honest manner than ever before.
