Interviews with Ian ft. Zach Blair

Very few players bridge underground punk attitude with world-touring precision quite like Zach Blair. Currently driving the guitar engine of melodic hardcore icons Rise Against, Zach’s pedigree spans the Texas pop-punk brilliance of Hagfish, shredding with shock-rock royalty GWAR (as Flattus Maximus), Only Crime, and power-pop crew Drakulas.

Ian and Zach—longtime collaborators in Drakulas—sit down for an electric masterclass on guitar tone, stage presence, surviving global tours, and writing riffs that punch you in the chest. Zach will break down practical guitar advice, stage technique, and stories from every level of the music business.
