AXE TO GRIND PODCAST

The contest of champions continues! We're in the wild days of Mosh Madness, where acts are playing for keeps and no prisoners are taken. Topics discussed include tech bros, offloading merch to Southeast Asia, celebs, and more. Also, weirdly, Mest. CEREMONY, NEW LOWS, TURNSTILE, UNIFIED RIGHT, RIVAL MOB, INCLINATION, HARMS WAY, and MINUS are in competition! If this episode sounds thin, it's because a transformer blew and we had to record it on a battery powered My First Sony.
