Originally signed by Green Days Billie Joe Armstrong, Oregons Broadway Calls released their second album on 17th August 2009 on Side One Dummy Records. The band’s album Good Views, Bad News was recorded in the famed studio Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado, with Descendents and Black Flag drummer and production guru Bill Stevenson.
Broadway Calls are influenced as much by classic punk acts like the Ramones and the Buzzcocks as they are by more modern acts such as Jawbreaker and Green Day. Weve always written songs that we wanted to hear, and thats definitely true with Good Views, Bad News.
Since forming in the unlikely locale of Rainier, Oregon, four years ago this trio of childhood friends which also includes bassist Matt Koenig and drummer Josh Baird have been touring constantly, and fine-tuning their unique blend of melodic pop-punk. Vaughn and Baird actually met back in sixth grade.
