New Boxcar Racer on the way? + A must-hear interview with AVA's Ilan Rubin + ADTR member leaves band on allegations + MORE
Good morning! Let’s just get to the news.
Our interview with Ilan Rubin of Angels & Airwaves and Nine Inch Nails
This week, Tyler and Bailey sit down with Ilan Rubin. If you know who Ilan is, but don't really know who he is, then do yourself a favor and get to know him a bit better. For starters, he's the drummer for Angels & Airwaves, but that barely scratches the surface. Rubin is only 33 years old and has already managed to be the youngest person inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for his position as drummer in the iconic Nine Inch Nails, the youngest drummer to perform at Woodstock, has drummed for Paramore and Lostprophets, he has many albums under his belt and he's only getting started and not satisfied yet.
We of course talk about the new Angels & Airwaves album Lifeforms, but we really dive into how and when his love of music all started and how it's gotten him to where he is today.

My sales pitch…
I don’t like to do this kind of stuff. I really don’t. So I’ll make it short and sweet. If you’re a fan of what us at All Punked Up have been and are putting out (whether that’s this newsletter or our weekly podcast), AND ONLY IF you have the means to do so, it would be greatly appreciated if you can help support us. We have support options of buying us 1, 3, or 5 “coffees” at $3 a piece set up at Buy Me a Coffee. If you’re feeling really generous, there’s an option where you can contribute more.
Your support goes a long way in helping us keeping this train moving. The truth is, running this podcast, site and newsletter takes a TON of time and money throughout the weeks, and the revenue we bring in is basically non-existent. I (and we) do this out of love for the scene that has shaped us into the humans we are today. Your support helps keep this train going.
Anyways, that’s my pitch. Again, please only do this if you have the means to do so. I’d rather you keep your money for yourself if you really need it. If you’re interested in helping out, here’s the link :)
