⚡️OUT NOW⚡️Randy Bradbury (Pennywise, 84 Days)
In addition to being the longtime bass player of Pennywise, Randy Bradbury’s main gig is being a rad dad to his 4 children, who range in age from teenagers to adults. He also just released the self-titled debut album from his new project, 84 DAYS, a collaboration with producer Cameron Webb and drummer Adrian Young (of No Doubt fame). It’s punk rock in the vein of Pennywise, but it’s also distinct and fresh, and represents Randy’s self-described metamorphosis from “just the bass player”.
Randy stopped by The Rad Dads Show to talk about the new band, and described the process of getting out of his own way and letting the songs just “happen”. He also discussed that same approach to parenting, and his evolution from a more authoritarian dad, to one less apt to intervene unnecessarily. Randy talked about his concept of “positive backlash” - taking things his parents did and trying to improve upon them. And he and Kristian got into so much more, from cell phones to social media and dystopian fiction becoming reality.
