This week for the CHIRP Radio Podcast, Features Co-director Mick R spoke with Zack and Kevin of the Chicago-based thrash and sludge metal band, Oozing Wound. Due to the limitations of COVID they had to speak with both the guys separately, but the conversation doesn't suffer for this fact. The interview covers a lot of ground, discussing topics as varied as keeping the music scene safe, struggles with unemployment, anxiety around reopening during the pandemic, writing new material, the advantages of working for an employee-owned company and performing music in the post-apocalypse. Zack even provides some behind the scenes details about the making of their fantastic new video for the song "Surrounded by F'ing Idiots," co-created and starring comedian Sarah Squirm. It's a wild ride!

Oozing Wound's last album, High Anxiety, came out in 2019 on Thrill Jockey and is available on BandCamp.
