It's 1 Louder
Turn it up. It's 1 Louder is a rock and guitar podcast hosted by PJ Pat. Each episode digs into the bands and players we love: their stories, their sound, the gear in their hands, and the moments that made them legends. We still dip into the best magazine reads, but now we go wherever the music takes us, whether that's a classic riff, a wild tour tale or a guitarist who changed everything.
If you've ever played air guitar in the kitchen, you're home. New episodes every other Tuesday.
