(*both laugh*) Episode 36: Stefan Beham on graphic art, SBAM Records and finding punk in 1990s Austria

If you've been a fan of punk rock over the last decade especially, you probably know Stefan Beham...only, you probably don't realize that you know Stefan Beham. The Austria-based graphic artist has designed tour posters and album covers and the like for a Fat Wreck Chords-heavy laundry list of artists that includes acts like NOFX and Frank Turner and Lagwagon and Get Dead and the Bombpops and Bad Cop Bad Cop and myriad more. 

We caught up with Stefan recently to chat about his journey from being a kid growing up in Austria to finding punk rock to eventually working for - and with - some of the biggest names in the scene. We also talked quite a bit about his growth from visual artist to festival producer to record label head honcho, and how he's had to constantly pivot in those roles over the course of the COVID pandemic.
