Daniel Pujol (Pujol)
SPB: If you could re-record one song, what would it be?
Pujol: Honestly, any song of mine I feel has been inadequately captured or presented I will try to rerecord. Or remix. Or record live.

Here at Scene Point Blank, a lot of records show up in the ol’ inbox. Needless to say, many don’t get the attention they deserve (and some get more). I can’t remember what first appealed about Pujol, but I invested my attention in reviewing X File on Main Street and … Read more

Denny Bartlett (The Drolls – guitar/vocals) SPB: You’ve been in multiple bands. What is the origin story of The Drolls? What was your radioactive spider? Barltett: I hadn’t played live in almost 20 years and other people I knew from back in the day were getting back into it and … Read more
