Originally, One Band, 5 Songs was only available on Spotify and thus limited to playing songs that were available on the service. Now that the show is not limited to what we can play, I thought it would be fun to look back at five old episodes and play songs we couldn’t play before.

I first met Steve Long while working in the America Online call center in Oklahoma City. One day, he was wearing a Bad Religion t-shirt, I said “I like your shirt,” and we have been friends ever since. Steve is the cohost/host of the podcasts Rebel Rock Radio and Radio Unfriendly and former frontman of the bands Get Fired and Otisburg.

Steve was a guest on One Band, 5 Songs in July 2024 to discuss the legendary Bad Religion. Find links to all of Steve’s projects and social media at https://bio.link/otter272.

Hailing from San Francisco, CA, Dead To Me has released three full-length albums, three EPs, and a smattering of singles and splits. Despite the relatively short discography and multiple lineup changes, the band has remained consistent, putting out some of the most powerful and emotionally important music of the 21st Century.
