Brian Carley is the lead singer and guitarist for the band Penfold. Penfold started in 1995 in Livingston, NJ, as bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and Mineral were making their impact on the scene.  Playing shows on weekends while attending college during the day, Penfold's work ethos was unmatched. They were a mainstay in the NJ DIY scene that led to bands like Saves The Day, Thursday, My Chemical Romance and Armor for Sleep receiving commercial success.  Penfold released a handful of EP's until their breakup in the early 2000's.

Listen as Jeremy and Brian talk about the formation of Penfold, it's influences, songwriting process and reunification for Best Friends Forever Festival in October.
