The Rumors Are True Podcast welcomes Chris Daly, legendary drummer known for his work with Texas Is the Reason, Jets to Brazil, 108, Ressurection, and many other influential projects. Chris joins the show to look back on his incredible journey through the hardcore, post-hardcore, and indie rock scenes—from the raw intensity of early ’90s hardcore with Ressurection and 108, to helping shape the emotional and melodic sound of Texas Is the Reason, and later creating timeless records with Jets to Brazil.

In this conversation, Chris shares stories from the road, the creative process behind these iconic bands, the evolution of his drumming style, and what it was like collaborating with artists such as Blake Schwarzenbach and Jeremy Chatelain during the Jets to Brazil years. We explore classic releases including Do You Know Who You Are?, Orange Rhyming Dictionary, and the lasting impact these records continue to have on generations of musicians and fans.

This is a deep dive into the history of underground music with one of its most respected and versatile drummers—a conversation filled with memories, insight, and a genuine love for the music that shaped a movement.
