Some Jersey rock royalty recently visited the Asbury Park Press' "Fan Theory" podcast, as pop-punk hero Mikey Erg stopped by to chat with Alex Biese and Mike Davis for our latest episode.

Erg first found notoriety as one third of the New Brunswick-based band The Ergs!, and now he's finally ready to drop his debut solo LP, "Tentative Decisions," hitting on June 24 through Don Giovanni Records.

If you're hoping to catch Erg live, you're in luck: he has shows coming up Tuesday, June 14 at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, New York, Wednesday, June 15 at Kung Fu Necktie in Philadelphia and Sunday, Sept. 18 at Convention Hall in Asbury Park as part of the New Alternative Music Festival.

Erg discussed the record, his longtime love for Asbury Park and the brief, highly anticipated Ergs! reunion happening as part of The Fest, Oct. 28 to 30 in Gainesville, Florida, before playing a handful of songs for "Fan Theory" listeners.
