This week we are sitting down with Gabe Pietrafesa and Alex Magnan of Young Culture! We dive right into how Alex and Gabe have been playing music together since they were young teenagers who connected in high school, and how pop punk was a huge early music taste for them. Gabe talks about Alex showed him live performances for the first time and unlocked a desire to play live music, and how they booked shows at venues while being 14 year olds who had to have their parents take them to the shows. Lor asks about their life during the early “on the road” days, who their live performance idols are, and Madi has them share some of their favorite fan interactions. As the chaotic and lively conversation continues we all get into a spirited talk about our favorite Christmas songs, what they boys are currently listening to, and so much more on this episode of the Beyond the Barricade Podcast.
