A Band Called Punchline Ep. 5: 37 Everywhere
07.03.2026 | 2 Std. 48 Min.
In early 2005, Punchline faced a career crossroads with the departure of guitarist and vocalist Paul Menotiades. With determination on high in the face of adversity, the original three members turned to longtime friend Greg Wood — a shredding guitarist with a unique voice and a commanding stage presence — to fill the void in their lineup. What followed was a relentless international tour schedule and the recording and release of a landmark album. In this episode, the band and an array of friends and colleagues tell the story of the 37 Everywhere era.
