Ross Robinson has an intimate relationship with Roadrunner's catalog between being signed to the label with his band Detente, to producing several acclaimed albums including ROOTS. So what do I ask him about?... Tha Phunk Junkeez. Keith Barney's band Eighteen Visions is so influential that a current Roadrunner band, Motionless In White, named themselves after one of their songs! But before that he fronted an extremely important band to me, Throwdown. We talk about the influence ROOTS had on him and their sound.
