This week... We welcome Ben Dean & Chloe Marlow from Camden's Raven Records for the first time. We discuss the first year of running a record shop & alcohol free bar and the challenges involved in opening a new business. We also get a warts n' all trip through Ben's journey to sobriety & how this has inspired Raven Records' ethos to do something very different for the alternative & metal community, including peer support groups, battle jacket meet-ups & even poetry!

Make sure you check out the shop & bar when you're next in Camden or their website here: https://ravenrecordshop.com/

This week... It's another album ranking episode! This time, we deliberate over Suicidal Tendencies' highly varied back catalogue... We feel ST have never been given the credit they truly deserve so it felt right to dive into their catalogue and decide which is most 'cyco'... There are some suprisingly strong opinions here too!
