80 - Jen Pop

The Sailor Jerry Podcast

Jen Pop is a punk rock singer-songwriter, best known as the vocalist for The Bombpops. Earlier this year, she made her solo debut with an incredible record titled East Side of Eden.

In this episode, Jen and I dive deep into ’90s punk rock, exploring the Epitaph and Fat Wreck Chords sound that we both grew up on. We also discuss the challenges of following your creative intuition while balancing a band, a solo career, fans, touring, and everything else that comes with being a musician.

We also get some details on East Side of Eden and working with producer Will Yip, contemplate the Ramones vs. the Misfits, Lana Del Rey and her new alligator-wrangler husband, all-time sketchiness in the DMs, and so much more. As always, this episode is brought to you by Sailor Jerry!
