In this exclusive interview with 107.7 The Bone’s Nikki Blakk, Rob Dukes opens up about his return to Exodus, balancing life in the garage with life on stage, and what fans can expect from the band’s upcoming record. Dukes reflects on the decade since he last fronted the band, from rebuilding a career in car restoration to rediscovering the thrash fire that never really left him. With the 40th anniversary of Bonded by Blood around the corner, Dukes is diving back into Baloff-era material and embracing the challenge of old lyrics, fast tempos, and chaotic energy.
The conversation takes a personal turn too—touring with his adopted dog Lulu, puking from stage fright, and his deep appreciation for stand-up comedy as an art form. Whether it’s working with hot rods in Arizona or prepping for a sold-out UC Theatre gig, Rob Dukes proves he’s still got one foot on the gas and the other on the monitor.
