My guest on The Downbeat this week is David Gunn of KING810. An incredibly enigmatic and interesting man, we talk about magick (a lot), King's new album Rustbelt Nu Metal, his many brushes with the law and much much more.
My guest this week is Aric Improta, visionary drummer and artist. You might know Aric from his videos where he backflips on a drum kit, you might know him from his paintings and artwork released in many forms under the moniker Hexwave, you might know him from his drumming with bands like Fever 333, Night Verses, or might know him as 1/2 of his new blistering project HOUSE OF PROTECTION whose new record OUTRUN YOU ALL is out NOW...but if you dont't know Aric, you should.
My guest on the podcast this week is Isaac Hale, guitarist of KNOCKED LOOSE. We talk about how all good music has to be funny, his unrelenting need to create music, fashion, touring, our love for MESHUGGAH, GOJIRA AND METALLICA...and we form the most diverse side project the world has ever seen.
My guest on the podcast this week is Josh James, guitarist of Stick To Your Guns. A veteran of the hardcore scene, Josh has also played with bands like Eighteen Visions, Evergreen Terrace and Casey Jones.

We talk the band's new album The Nothing That Is, Josean's double knee surgery which left him out of the game physically and mentally, and much more.
My guests on the podcast this week are ultra-mega-super group BETTER LOVERS. Better Lovers is what happens if Will Putney snorted the ashes of The Dillinger Escape and Every Time I Die. They're all very funny people. We also did a ludicrous collab vinyl for their new record HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE.

My guest on the podcast this week is WUNDERKIND drummer Tosh (the drummer). He's the go to session guy for people like MGK, Bad Bunny, The Kid Laroi, Troye Sivan, jxden, Fall Out Boy and much more...he's also disgustingly young for someone doing so much.

My guest on the podcast this week is Aaron Weaver of Wolves In The Throne Room. An interesting and wise man - we talk about the band and their impact on the black metal scene, as well as his unorthodox utilization of technology for producing that is modern but still seems on brand for the genre. We also talk about ghosts and Lars Ulrich... obviously.
