From the irresistible count-in to the unique song structure and slow build to the song’s climax - I Can’t Seem To Tell is undeniably killer. Craig Shay (Cold Wrecks/Answering Machine/funny on Twitter) joins Cheska to talk about the song’s earlier iteration and how it influenced the final product, early and often forgotten bangers,  which Menzingers songs should/should not  be reimagined as R&B songs and how every Menzingers fan is 38. Period.
Craig’s band Cold Wrecks has new music coming soon and gets to play the same cruise as The Menzingers & more at Booze Cruise Festival in Hamburg this summer. Listen to Answering Machine’s new song Cherry Coke now or I will catch you in the CVS parking lot (I like this song a lot).
