Robin Staps of The Ocean / Pelagic Records & I have a conversation about how he coped with his time off, his 1st beers, the soundtrack of his youth, Loic's injury, Pelagic Records, the new The Ocean record & his hangover cure.

Throughout this chat, Robin & I enjoyed Boréale's "IPA du Nord-Est" the 6% NEIPA. This is one of the brews that changed the craft beer market in Québec.

This is a Heavy Montreal presents Vox&Hops episode! Heavy Montreal is Montreal's premier metal promoter. They host one of North America's best Metal Festivals & present countless amazing events during the rest of the year. I am truly honored & extremely excited to have them involved in the podcast.
