#30 | Justin Conigliaro of Up For Nothing

Justin Conigliaro is a singer, writer and lead guitarist of Brooklyn-based punk rock outfit Up For Nothing. Founded in 2001 in the days of The Temple in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn DIY staple, Up For Nothing has gone on to tour all over the United States releasing 5 albums including the band’s most recent “Escape Route”, released through San Diego, It’s Alive Records. I’ve known Justin longer than almost anybody I’ve had the privilege to call friend. It started with my high school ska band playing with them at Arlene’s Grocery, and our friendship has transcended many eras of our lives; nights that include seeing countless bands, long van rides to other states, excursions to The Fest in Gainesville, FL, and more times seeing The Bouncing Souls than I could ever try to count. I still have the ticket stub somewhere of the time I got to see them open for Sum 41 at Union Square institution, Irving Plaza. We talk movies, music, New York sports, the unhealthy side of nostalgia, and just a million things. Grateful that Justin is the podcast first reoccurring guest and unless I do something stupid to mess up our friendship, it won’t be the last! Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you stream your baloney!
