Dwid and Aaron from Integrity (Live @ New England Metal & Hardcore Festival)

Returning to the podcast for the first time in over 7 years, we have the internet's best friend Brenden Murphy from Counterparts and End. He's a lovely chat and it was great catching up with him about the bands new EP, K-Pop and what's lamer - Zyn or Vaping? All jokes aside, this is a great episode and we dig into all the things. <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/outbreakfest" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast here (executive produced by yours truly) </a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/11xMpD6cIu08GmE3PWpypA?si=83094abaefe04105" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Weekly Recommendation Playlist</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_akI_b6HY7yrc2Zc1ciBvw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube</a><a href="https://rockabilia.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).

FIrst and foremost, if you are in the greater Los Angeles area my heart and soul are with you. I live 45 minutes south and it's soul crushing. <a href="https://www.ca.gov/lafires/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit this link for assistance</a> and help where you can, financially/physically or otherwise. That being said, we all need to keep on keeping on with our lives to the best that we can and that's exactly what I am trying to do. Here's another great live discussion we had at the <a href="https://metalandhardcorefest.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New England Metal and Hardcore Festival</a> with two bands that have very little to do with one another...but that's what I like to do, bridge gaps. First up, we have Liz from the self proclaimed "bimbo-core" band <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/1kfSVYNmjmYsdWjEQ6fnQF?si=DXVtcJ8hQF6o7FYuLZnFPQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brat</a>. We discussed the New Orleans scene, touring with Gwar and a lot of other things. On the flip side, I bring on Dewey & Blaythe from straight edge warriors No Cure. This band is tailor made for me so I was happy to have this discussion and we roast each other almost immediately, it's perfect. <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3nw6phs4P8q7lncRq3uurU?si=UlgI-_7oQLmNI9lAzCw7Rg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to their new LP that dropped on Sharptone</a>...it's great. <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/outbreakfest" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast here (executive produced by yours truly) </a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/11xMpD6cIu08GmE3PWpypA?si=83094abaefe04105" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Weekly Recommendation Playlist</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_akI_b6HY7yrc2Zc1ciBvw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube</a><a href="https://rockabilia.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).
