The latest episode of Nickel City Soundtrack is a sad one. A week ago we lost Andy Williams who some people know as the guitar player from Every Time I Die and others may know him as The Butcher from AEW. Andy was a friend to both of us so we decided to do this episode. We shared some personal anecdotes about Andy and we brought on another friend Jay who knew Andy most of his life. This was truly a hard episode to do and we hope that people are able to take something away from it. We intend to pay more tribute to Andy in the future because he was one of the truly great human beings to walk this earth and he lived more life than most of us could ever dream of. RIP Andy Williams.

If someone comes into your mind please contact them even if its just to say "hi". There is a reason that person came across your mind.

On the latest episode of the Nickel City Soundtrack we interviewed Fort Worth Texas Metalcore band Oresteia. We talked To Brooke and Gonzo who are the singers of the band. We talked to them about the history of their band and what they have going on including their upcoming tour to the east coast on which they will be playing Buffalo on August 21st.
