      About Rich Zweiback

      Rich Zweiback had his life changed as an early pup when he saw the Ramones on Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert. Since that day, he has seen hundreds of shows, written for many outlets and played in several bands. His fondest memories include discussing vegetarianism over many beers with Captain Sensible, talking KISS with Redd Kross and seeing D. Boon in his underwear.

      When he’s not prowling the streets for the lost chord, he can be found in his bunker, pounding out copy for The Big Takeover and his own blog, Bleedin Out.
