On this show we've got one of my personal favorites, being Cliff, the front man of Dry Kill Logic and the dude does NOT disappoint.

Back from a little spring break with the mighty Pelican! Their newly released Flickering Resonance is a brilliant album and gave me the excuse I needed to finally get Trevor of the band on the show. We talk about a ton of things, from water park hotels, to flame meditation, basking in the warmth of creative energy and, yes, the first 11 REO Speedwagon albums (but only the first 11). Trevor certainly smartens up the place with some really insightful and fun conversation.

We covered a lot of ground, including of course their album Life Is Violence, but also soooo much other stuff.

Top 5 most interesting dude that's been on the show right here. Sam of Lo! not only had wonderfully elaborate and combination thought and laughter provoking answers but he also dealt with me being a little flustered as I had multiple technical issues. We got it worked out though and man am I glad we did. From responses with sentences like "an album doesn't need a passport" to the bands excitement for Shrek 5 and everything in between (and there is a damn lot, trust me), Sam has a good answer for literally everything.

This week I am delighted to bring you a conversation between Jesper of the post metal/prog metal band Burst! We mainly talk about their run in the 00's up till now and it's a helluva conversation. Talk through all the things like why go on hiatus (and why it's a chickenshit thing to do), why eventually come back from it, things he'd do differently if given the chance, playing in basements with Gojira, mundane super powers and an explanation of sausage patties.

Some bands sound like this band or that band, some bands clearly fit a genre or even define one, then there are some bands that clearly don't have boundaries and do whatever they want and are themselves without sounding like they're trying extra hard to be different. This is where we find Phoxjaw. Danny of the band provides an EXCELLENT conversation about a ton of things but of course mainly Phoxjaw.
