Davey is the lead singer of AFI, Blaqk Audio, XTRMST and Dreamcar. He is also an author and co-host on SiriusXM's Volume West. In this episode, Tylor finally gets to interview and personally thank the person who inspired his veganism in the first place! We also talk about the common philosophy underlying vegan and straight edge lifestyles, veganism on the punk rock scene and Davey's early days of being vegan while on tour.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While you're listening, please take a moment to check out the links to our sponsors.
