Welcome to the first episode of 2025 for ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast! We’re kicking off our first episode of the year with a real treat, the nicest guy in music production, Jonah Falco!

A very busy young man, on top of playing in Toronto punk leg-ends Fucked Up for over 20 years, Falco also fronts the brilliant Jade Hairpins and when he finds any spare time, produces records too. In 2024 alone, Fucked Up released a series of records, including three LPs, Jade Hairpins released their second album, ‘Get Me The Good Stuff’ (via Merge Records) and Falco worked on records from the likes of High Vis, The Chisel and Chubby and the Gang to name a select few.

A grafter we’ve been hoping to talk to for a good while now, we managed to grab Jonah for a swift chat in mid-November whilst Jade Hairpins were on tour in Germany. Speaking on the phone as he hurtled down the autobahn, we covered all sorts, from playing music with your own mum to living on a narrowboat.

With it being 2024 at the time, naturally the call dropped out at one point, though we passed through it like a couple of pro’s - as you’ll hear. None of that in 2025, pure network coverage from this point forward.
