This weeks guest is Glenn Willis vocalist of recently reunited punk band The Blamed. As well as 2 Minute Minor and October Bird of Death.

Glenn has alway been immersed in whatever music scene he is a part of, and has been in AT LEAST 2 bands at any given time since I've known him.

Glenn and I take a deep look into his past and how his faith got him inspired to be in a band in the first place. How he has also help invigorate his local scene, but has also found himself taking the blame for said scene falling apart.....twice.

We discuss how Glenn re finding his faith and getting sober allowed him to

New Ep is up with Fallon Bowman:

We redid our Diamond Eyes run through after the last one got fucked up.

Hear a little bit about the Kittie reunion that happened since the last time Fallon and I chatted.

Then it's back to business as we breakdown the one album we've talked about in EVERY SINGLE ONE of our previous chats.

This one is a little long winded, but is to be expected.

Also shout out to Elk Brewing: Grand Rapids as I was enjoying a few PB and J'ale"y's while recording this.

Steve Evetts is my guest on this weeks podcast.

Steve is a legendary producer who has been making records for a little over 20 years, and is responsible for some legendary albums by some of metal and hardcore's bigger names. Albums like Hatebreed's "Satisfaction is the Death of Desire" to Deadguy's "Fixation on a co worker" to working on all of the Dillenger Escape Plan albums.

We get into Evetts time working with famed producer Ross Robinson and working with a variety of bands like The Cure, and some fun experiences that arose from the making of that album. To working on one of my favorite Limp Bizkit albums, The Unquestionable Truth Pt. 1. Where I learned about a making of documentary thats online that I had no clue about, as well as some other weird bits about an album that no one seemingly knows about, and has little information within the cd itself.

Hear how a drunken night lead to Evetts recoding with Detroit's own Wilson.

My guest this week is Derrick Williams aka Black Canvas.

Derrick and I have been friends for awhile and have seen each other venture into different avenues within the music scene, from me booking shows and doing this podcast to Derrick getting into taking the time to become an MC, and how his life experiences have shaped his art over the years.

We get into some discussions about the politics of Grand Rapids, as well as some conversations about our current social issues, and how Derrick conveys these thoughts into his music.

We also go through the evolution of Derricks rap personas and what they meant on the way to becoming Black Canvas and much more.

Had a lot of fun having a chat with an old friend. Hope you enjoy.

My guest this week is Bringing Down Broadway (BDB)

BDB is a christian metalcore band from here in MI, and were one of the first and bigger bands emerging in the infancy periods of what would become metal core.

Here how the band got together, stories of how they were able to find their sound, which wasnt really a thing at the time, and hear stories from the band themselves about life on the road and what it was like to be a band before smartphones and GPS was a thing!!!

We also find out what lead to the band calling it a day in the mid 2000's and what eventually lead them to getting back together.

Was a super fun chat and can catch the band on their fist show back at the Flint Local 432 on December 29th.

Also first show with new partner, MoshPitNation!!!!
