R&R with RTZ

On today's episode (which was technically filmed during Thanksgiving season), the gang discuss the return of the alternative rock band Linkin Park. LP was a major cornerstone of the rock and metal community in the early 2000s but after the tragic loss of their lead singer - Chester Bennington - in 2017, the band went on a hiatus. 7 years later, the band announced a comeback with a lineup, new album, and new concert tour. As avid fans of LP, Rahib and Tuhin vividly discuss how this band affected their formative years.
