Larry Spahn recently celebrated two milestone anniversaries of his pop punk band On Hiatus, and his hardcore punk band But, Pyrite.  He talks to Will about growing up in Queens, New York, how started by playing bass cause a friend told him he needed a bassist, his degree in history, the inspiration for the brutal riffs and goofy lyrics of But, Pyrite, 15 years of Hopeless Otis, how he co founded a record label with Brandon Bujnowski of Bedpan Fight and how he puts together DIY tours.
