In this episode, Blacklist Royals drummer Rob Rufus sits in for a heartfelt conversation about the band's powerful new single, "Punk Rock Survivors." The song was shaped by Rob’s personal battle with cancer and the themes of resilience and survival found in his memoir Die Young with Me. Rob opens up about the therapeutic nature of songwriting, the importance of vulnerability in music, and how simple, honest lyrics can create a profound connection with listeners. This episode offers a deep dive into the making of a track that aims to resonate with anyone who’s ever fought through hard times.
