On this hard-hitting episode I get to sit down and chat w/ AJ West of the Youngstown area hardcore band Nervous Aggression. We chat about a slew of things including the career and beginning of the band in East Liverpool, OH, being able to play w/ his brother Blake, him moving to Youngstown and his love of the city, local bands that we both have a real affinity for and venues that we both dig, him briefly living in Columbus during the early part of the pandemic, some funny stories, as well as talk about Nervous Aggression’s brand new EP entitled “Friends,” (available on the bands Bandcamp and streaming services August 31st,) as well as the subsequent tour that follows. So sit back and toss a few back w/ this episode of This is Just a Phase! ***(songs featured in this episode are by Nervous Aggression: “Attack/Your Band Sucks,” “Slutshame,” “This Stage is Ours’,” and “Rotting Away.” / used w/ permission.)***
