Our guest this week is none other than Dave Baksh (@davebrownsound) of Sum 41 who was kind enough to hop on a Zoom call and tell us all about how he came to fall in love with Newcastle United. We talk about his love of football growing up in Ontario, his excitement about a home World Cup in 2026 and his adoration for Alan Shearer.
As well as covering a plethora of football topics, we also chatted about what it's like to play a live set just for the members of Metallica, discovering Pantera for the first time and the honesty of European crowds.
We’re asking each of our guests to curate a matchday playlist filled to the brim with tracks of their choosing. Check out Dave's picks on Spotify here: open.spotify.com/playlist/2P2sMjZ7chv0M5hsuyWtxj?si=GBU2lcsUSiyS7oQ6opDhFg
