No lengthy preamble here–it’s not needed when Black Guy Fawkes and Linh Le from Bad Cop / Bad Cop get together. They talk about sharing the stage at Lost Evenings, the Bassists Against Racists campaign, and their shared love of Ted Lasso. Linh and Ed also share their love of karaoke, and everyone combines like a three-part Voltron to talk about performing, the best cheesesteak in Philadelphia, and the best parts of what make the punk scene more than a scene, but a community.

Linh Le is the bassist for Bad Cop / Bad Cop. You can find their upcoming tour dates here, including Camp Punksylvania. She’s also one of the folks behind Bassists Against Racists, which raises money for different causes each month. Ian and Ed both adore her and her band, so you should check out all of their stuff.

He’s also on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, etc as Black Guy Fawkes–spelling is extremely important here and, not surprisingly, he’s on music streaming services as well: Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon. You can probably find Ed drinking in a karaoke bar or in the crowd at a punk show. The show also now has a playlist of music from guests that have appeared, and guests who will be appearing, and you can check that out on Spotify as well: Fawkes & Friends: The Playlist - playlist by Ian Robinson | Spotify
