In Episode 2, we chat with Scranton singer/guitarist Edward Cuozzo and bassist John Husosky about their new alternative rock band, University Drive, and their debut album, “On/Off: Reset.” We talk about Ed’s previous band, A Social State, and what led him to end that project and start this one; his process of writing and recording the entire album by himself at JL Studios in Olyphant; how John ended up joining the band’s now solidified lineup and adding his own touch to the material; signing to Canadian label Fightless Records; live shows and touring; making cassettes as well as CDs; John’s other bands, including Permanence, and balancing them all; and more, including a discussion about music released after an artist’s death.
