In episode 245 of the podcast, the three of us talk about bands that changed our lives.

What does it mean? Is it a band you deep dove their catalog, and love every minute? Is it a band you’ve seen live more than most? Is it their message? Lyrics? Musicianship? It’s all of the above. 

We start the episode with a brand new ‘Band Name: Real or Fake?’ There are a lot of interesting band names out there!

We’d love to hear which bands or artists changed your life. Hit us up in the DM’s.
