The Fantozzi Files returns! It's been awhile but I've been back in radio for a little over a year now and have been meaning to share the band interviews I've done since being back in the industry.

Check out this interview with Patty, the lead singer of the Pennsylvania band, If Not For Me. We talked favorite complete albums, his favorite tracks from their new album and more.

It's been awhile since The Fantozzi Files have been updated. It's been a crazy few months of market visits and finally landing a gig back in radio with 97.7 WQLZ in Springfield, Illinois. Now that I am finally settled into the new house I want to get back to sharing band interviews. I had the chance to interview Robert Cosgrove earlier this week for my new gig. Robert is the lead singer of a band called Sleep Signals. I have known him for about four years and they have a brand-new single called "One Life." I have linked the music video for the song below.
