This week I sat down with Ben Begbie who does vocals in a band called Still Numb. He also plays drums in another band called Gouge Out. When he's not making music Ben is apprenticing at Dark Saint Tattoo Company in Toronto. We talked about some of the tattoos he likes and doesn't like, the new Still Numb EP, Omar Shoots, and the Title Fight Hyperview mural. All this and more on Ontario's underground music source.

This week I had the one and only tall, ball of charisma, Davis Maxwell! Davis has been brought up quite a bit on the show mostly because he does a lot of the recording here in Niagara. He's now working out of Dundas in the same space as Nick Ginn of Hellbent at Schoolhouse Studios. Davis also drums in a couple local bands like Kawthra, and Last Retch. He's also done some session work for Teeth. Him and I get talking about what it's like to be at a party where everyone is on mushrooms. Check it out here on Bandecdotes!
