Ep. 109 - Scott Hackwith from Dig

Dig frontman Scott Hackwith joins me to trace the band’s journey from the early ’90s Los Angeles music scene and the MTV success of “Believe” to their long-awaited new album, [i]. Scott shares how an album discovered during an isolated childhood became his musical escape, how a punk-rock girlfriend reshaped his world, and how Dig found its sound alongside influences like My Bloody Valentine, Fugazi, Ride and Jane’s Addiction. We also talk major-label chaos, the fear of “selling out” in the ’90s, making the “Believe” video on a shoestring budget, and why the band is creating and performing again after more than three decades. Plus, Scott reveals the wonderfully simple origin of Dig’s name—and tells a truly unforgettable story from the road with Bad Brains. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
