Video Matt got a chance to holler back at our old homie Fred Mascherino from The Color Fred last week at the SF date of the Vans Warped Tour. Check out his interview, then if you’re bored, check out some of our exclusive footage of The Color Fred performing acoustic in Synthesis editor Ryan Prado’s apartment on our YouTube channel, such as “If I Surrender” below. Real shit!

Our very own Ryan Prado is a drunken buffoon, and nobody likes him. And although this isn’t him, it’s a guy acting just like him.

So I just got through posting Synthesis Weekly Managing Editor Ryan Prado’s epic interview with one of his all-time favorite musicians, former ALL frontman Scott Reynolds, on the frontpage and man are my CTRL buttons tired!
