This week we have a very special guest and VERY important musician when it comes to the DNA of our show and one of our bands in particular... We are joined by the incomparable Only Living Witness vocalist Jonah Jenkins.

The short lived, but ahead of their time and impactful band existed for only 6 years, managing to release 2 iconic LPs in that time that would become cult classics and contribute to changing the landscape of hardcore music forever.

These are personal favorites for the show (and inspired the sound AND name of Twitching Tongues) and we are confident you will walk away from this episode with a new perspective on a band you love, or are new appreciation for one you're just now discovering.

Being on the forefront of integrating clean vocals and hardcore, their mark on aggressive music is present to this day.

With their debut LP "Prone Mortal Form" just passing it's 30th anniversary, it's finally getting a proper standalone re-release via Man Alive records, as well as their follow up "Innocents" on vinyl for the very first time.
