Welcome to the first ever episode of THE LIVEWIRE WITH BRANDEN! We’re kicking things off loud and proud with a double shot of local metal power. Branden sits down with Scott and Todd Seaman — a father-son duo blazing their own paths in Northwest Arkansas’s heavy music scene. Scott brings the thunder with 90lb Wrench, while Todd slays with Gallowwalker.

In this episode, we talk about growing up in music, the evolution of metal in NWA, band life, family bonds, and what it really means to build something that lasts.

This is metal. This is local. This is THE LIVEWIRE.
