For his latest pour on Vinyl Community Podcasts, Alex (Beer & Vinyl) is back with an interview with musician Frank Secich.

Here's quick bio:

Frank Secich (born June 14, 1951) is an American rock musician, songwriter, author and record producer. He was the bass player and founding member of the group Blue Ash from 1969 to 1979 and guitarist and bassist for the Stiv Bators band from 1979 until 1981. He played in the Cleveland-based group Club Wow with Jimmy Zero of the Dead Boys from 1982 to 1985 and produced the Ohio band the Infidels from 1985 to 1990. He is currently the rhythm guitarist for the Deadbeat Poets who were formed in 2006 in Youngstown, Ohio. Frank Secich's autobiography "Circumstantial Evidence" was published by High Voltage Publishing of Australia in 2015. His second book "Not That Way Anymore" was published in November 2023 by High Voltage Publishing. His current band, The Deadbeat Poets are on Pop Detective Records, which is owned by Mark Hershberger.

 

In 1973, Youngstown, OH Band Blue Ash released their debut record "No More, No Less" to critical acclaim. (Alex note: not only do I critically acclaim it, I put it up there with one of the best Power Pop records of the 70s and all time!). We hope you enjoy this fun conversation here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!
