Life hack: Listen to Ron Gallo
I discovered Ron on Instagram through a fellow photographer’s post and knew that based on his style (aka his iconic hair), I would dig his music. And now, unsurprisingly, I’m whipped. Ron’s got the type of music you wish you came up with, and can’t help but bang on (or want to break) the nearest thing when you listen to it, stuff gets me fired UP. He’s not messing around when it comes to lyrics and sharing his real life experiences in a straight forward manner. While his genre is a mixture of garage punk and old-school rock punk, his new album Heavy Meta (which is lit as heck) introduces some more slowed down, but still rockin' vibes with tunes like 'Don’t Mind The Lion' and 'Started a War'. Ron explains himself simply in his "Open Letter From Ron Gallo To Humanity"
“
Shredding. Speaking. Writing. Thinking. Reading.
I straddle the fence between two mindsets-
1. The world is completely f*cked
2. The universe is inside you.

If you’re not already listening to his music by now, hopefully this playlist I put together of Ron-songs and others that give me similar feels will convert you.
About this old photo: This is a scan of a 1950's photo I got from my favorite antique store in Tulsa (I-44 Antiques)!
This summer the guys are hitting the road and making their way to cities all over. If your city's below, you gotta go.
