Podcasts about church road records

On this episode of the podcast, we're joined by Justine and Sammy of Church Road Records/Employed To Serve—exploring how the dual demands of running a label and playing in a touring band shape their daily lives and creative decisions. Church Road Records may have started in 2017 as a DIY operation run out of a spare room, but in just a few short years, it has carved out a reputation for consistency, taste, and innovation in the world of underground heavy music. What sets Church Road apart isn't just the quality of its roster, but the sense of identity that runs through the label—an identity that's rooted in the personal vision and hands-on approach of its founders. Evan and I speak with Justine and Sammy about the origins of the label, the practical and emotional challenges of launching a self-funded venture, and the evolution that has seen Church Road grow from a passion project to a respected institution within the scene. We also dig into the label's unique subscription service model, the criteria they use when signing new artists, and their broader thoughts on the shifting landscape of the music industry in 2025. Of course, we also talk about Employed to Serve, the acclaimed band that Justine fronts and Sammy plays guitar in—exploring how the dual demands of running a label and playing in a touring band shape their daily lives and creative decisions. This episode offers an inside look at what it takes to build and sustain a truly independent label in today's music ecosystem—and why passion, resilience, and community remain at the core of it all.

Justine Jones Employed To Serve Interview: Justine sits down with Scott Penfold on the latest Loaded Radio Podcast to dive deep into the band's latest album Fallen Star, collaborating with Will Ramos of Lorna Shore, drawing inspiration from Scandinavian melodic death metal, and how she balances fronting a crushing metalcore band while running Church Road Records. Justine Jones opens up about the emotional and creative journey behind Fallen Star With their highly anticipated fifth studio album Fallen Star arriving back on April 25, 2025, Employed To Serve are ushering in a new era of modern metalcore—one that fuses melody, rage, and raw vulnerability in equal measure. Frontwoman Justine Jones joins Scott Penfold on this week's Loaded Radio Podcast to pull back the curtain on the emotional core of the new record and what fans can expect from this bold new chapter. In the conversation, Justine breaks down the band's stylistic evolution, citing influences like In Flames and Soilwork as guiding lights behind the album's more melodic and expansive sound. “We wanted to create something that felt bigger, more cinematic,” she says. “There's still heaviness—but it's in service of the emotion, not just brutality for brutality's sake.” 'Atonement' with Will Ramos brings fury and fun to the spotlight The podcast also digs into the band's lead single "Atonement", which features none other than Will Ramos of Lorna Shore on guest vocals. The track rips with intensity, and its Office-inspired music video has been making waves for its tongue-in-cheek take on workplace chaos. According to Justine, the idea for the video came from wanting to show a different side of the band. Recording one song at a time, and what it taught Justine about herself In a new approach for Fallen Star, Justine recorded her vocals one track at a time instead of tackling them all at once. The result? A more focused and emotionally connected performance across the board. “It helped me put everything I had into each individual song,” she explains. “That kind of care really brought the record to life.” Running Church Road Records while fronting one of the UK's heaviest bands Aside from her vocal duties, Justine also co-runs the fiercely independent Church Road Records with guitarist Sammy Urwin. The label has become a hub for some of the most exciting rising acts in heavy music. On the podcast, she talks about how that role complements her work in Employed To Serve and why keeping things DIY still matters in today's oversaturated industry. Touring, the future of the band, and staying grounded through chaos With a new UK headline tour on the horizon and buzz building around Fallen Star, Employed To Serve seem poised to take their place among the elite modern metal acts pushing the genre forward. But Justine remains refreshingly grounded: “We're always just trying to make the best music we can—if it connects with people, that's the real reward.” Bio Employed To Serve is a British metalcore band formed in 2011 in Woking, England, by vocalist Justine Jones and guitarist Sammy Urwin. Initially emerging from the underground scene with a raw, grindcore-influenced sound, the band has evolved to incorporate elements of hardcore punk, mathcore, and death metal. Their discography includes five studio albums: Greyer Than You Remember (2015), The Warmth of a Dying Sun (2017), Eternal Forward Motion (2019), Conquering (2021), and Fallen Star (2025). Known for their intense live performances and thought-provoking lyrics, Employed To Serve has been praised for crushing the modern metalcore scene while maintaining a DIY ethos.

Here we go! A great conversation this with Christopher from UK metal heads Inhuman Nature. A band with a plan, well, as long as that plan is to destroy all in its path. Check out the new album 'Greater Than Death' on Church Road Records straight after you have heard this chat all about John Carpenters classic, 'Assault on Precinct 13'.INHUMAN NATURE // CHURCH ROAD RECORDS

‘Aether' is the much-anticipated debut album of Forlorn, the ‘folk horror' band who blend expressionist art, crushing soundscapes and paganism to carve out their own brand of innovative alternative music. Throughout ‘Aether', Forlorn pay their respects to the major 'elements', acting as part of a progressing metal pagan ritual. The juxtaposition of ethereal vocals, with chaotic drums and crushing low-level guitars, paired with vocalist Megan Jenkin's brutal screams, bring together Forlorn's unique sound and visual identity. Their haunting live presence has also graced stages across the UK, alongside artists like Dying Wish, DESTRAGE, CRYPTA, Ithica, Devil Sold His Soul and URNE as well as festivals like at Radar Festival, Tech Fest and Collision Festival. Anyone who has seen Forlorn live can attest to the immersive experience it is, with us describing our first time seeing them in 2022 as: A 30-minute showcase of dreamy post-metal with the sharpness of hardcore, explosivity of metalcore and a touch of Midsommar-esqe eeriness. 2025 is looking to be the year they truly break out, and ‘Aether' will be released on March 28th, 2025, via Church Road Records. We spoke to vocalist Megan and guitarist Edd about the new album, and the journey that Forlorn has been on over the past few years. We also learn how Forlorn has slowly found its identity, taking that creativity to another level, expanding on it in both record and live form, and so much more.

Live victims will be possessed to headbang - or die! We spoke to vocalist Chris Barling about the new album, discussing the creative process, and the journey to this point. We also delve into the past, present, and future of Inhuman Nature, playing live, and so much more.

Ja, het is zoeken met een lantaarntje naar hoop en optimisme in het nieuwe jaar. Daarom een bijzondere editie van Dood & Verderf. Ik vroeg aan 11 experts die eerder te gast waren in deze show, wat dé bands zijn die je in 2025 in de gaten moet houden. Hun antwoorden variëren van Hongaarse electro-deathmetal, doedelzakmetalcore, Iraanse mystiek, polsensnijdende darkwave tot Nietscheiaanse blackmetal, boze-mannen-hardcore en overrompelende symfonieën. In dit uur hoor de volgende elf lichtende lichten en zoutende zouten vertellen over hun favoriete nieuwe acts en releases: frontvrouw Alma Alizadeh van For I Am King de Belgische metalprofessor Didier Goossens breakcore-, doommetal- en darkjazzpionier Jason Köhnen Neerlands beste kamerlid Lisa Westerveld apocalyps-adept Marleen van de Kerkhof martial arts- en socialisme-expert Peter Kwint To The Teeth-playlistsamensteller en NRC-journalist Peter van der Ploeg Hardcore-zine-maker Yordi Dam christelijke-metal-icoon Jasper Verhorst Zware Metalen-hoofdredacteur Maarten Ondersteijn en Rotterdams burgemeester-speechschrijver Daan de Neef Geniet ervan! Vond je dit tof? Abonneer je dan op de nieuwsbrief of de podcast. En ben je al fan? Geef dan een vijf-sterren-rating aan de show op je favoriete podcastplatform, zodat zoveel mogelijke andere mensen de show ook kunnen vinden. Playlist Paleface Swiss - The Gallow (The Gallow, 2023) Door Alma Alizadeh (frontvrouw For I Am King) Beluister de uitzending met Alma Paleface Swiss, wat een fantastische band, live: "niet te geloooooooven" zoals Rembo van Rembo&Rembo zou zeggen. Ik heb ze afgelopen zomer op DMF gezien en het was mokertje hard (gebruik "mokertje hard" nooit, maar dan snap jij wat ik bedoel). Je hebt van die bands waar je naar staat te kijken live en dan denk je: hallo ik wil nu spelen, dit is er een :D Lowen - Najang Bah Divhayeh Mazandaran (Do Not Go To War With The Demons Of Mazandaran, 2024) Didier Goossens (onderzoeker Nederlandstalige blackmetal) Beluister de uitzending met Didier Voor mij dé band om in 2025 in de gaten te houden: Lowen, liefst met track 'Najang Bah Divhayeh Mazandaran.' Hebben in 2024 hun tweede plaat uitgebracht bij Church Road Records en het Nederlandse Lay Bare Recordings. Zangeres Nina Saeidi is de dochter van Iraanse vluchtelingen en opgegroeid in Engeland, en dus echt een kind van twee werelden. Die nieuwe plaat belichaamt haar hybriditeit perfect: loeiharde Black Sabbath/Bolt Thrower-doomriffs in Midden-Oosterse ritmepatronen met lyrics in zowel Brits als Farsi die terug- en vooruitkijken naar de mensheid op basis van pre-islamitische koningenliteratuur. Een dijk van een plaat die in 2025 ongetwijfeld veel live zal worden gespeeld op Britse en Europese podia, en daarom een show om niet te missen. Watch My Dying - Napköszörü (Egyenes Kerülö, 2024) Door Jason Köhnen (Bong-Ra, Celestial Season, Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble) Beluister de uitzending met Jason Watch My Dying. één van de bekendste extreme metal bands uit Hongarije. Ze bestaan al 25 jaar maar zijn in Europa nauwelijks bekend. De plan is om ze eind vh jaar als support van Bong-ra mee naar NL te halen. Er is net een nieuwe plaat uit : ' Egyenes kerülő '. Ik draag het nummer 'Napköszörű' aan. Ne Obliviscaris - Devour Me, Colossus - part 1, black holes (Citadel, 2014) Lisa Westerveld (kamerlid GroenLinks-PvdA) Beluister de uitzending met Lisa De band die we wat mij betreft goed in de gaten moeten houden is Ne Obliviscaris. Ik werd een aantal jaar geleden op hen getipt (een vriend liet me het nummer Devour me, Colossus horen) en met hem was ik enorm onder de indruk van alle verrassingen in hun nummers. Op dat moment waren ze denk ik nog niet heel bekend en konden we geen live optredens vinden, maar ze waren vorig jaar tot mijn verrassing op Dynamo Metalfest (waar ik niet was) en komende zomer weer op een aantal festivals. Dus ik ga zeker checken hoe ze live zijn. Gaerea - Unknown (Coma, 2024) Marleen van de Kerkhof (klimaatactivist en eindredacteur Zware Metalen) Beluister de uitzending met Marleen Voor nu ga ik voor Gaerea met als single Unknown van het laatste album Coma. De eerste keer dat ik een album 100/100 punten heb gegeven. Lees hier waarom. Gaerea is met Coma ook op #3 van de ZM Jaarlijst beland. Op 6 augustus spelen ze met Dimmu Borgir en Abbath in 013. Je móét ze live ervaren! Wat een kolossale intensiteit! Enne, de gitariste en zanger wonen in Nederland, dus een beetje ‘van eigen bodem'. Curselifter - The Blade (Curselifter, 2024) Peter Kwint (voormalig SP-kamerlid, voorzitter Nederlandse Vechtsportbond) Beluister de uitzending met Peter Ik vind dat iedereen nu op de Curselifter band wagon moet springen. Band uit Utrecht, met Rosa een absolute sloper op zang. Bij tijd en wijlen lompe, zware metalcore. Maar af en toe ook veel gelaagder. Het doet me bij tijd en wijlen denken aan Converge, en mensen die mij kennen weten dat dat een heel groot compliment is. Empire is een geschikte track, de opener van hun self titled debuutplaat die in oktober uit kwam. Bovendien thematisch typisch voor ze, omdat ie zowel over het falen van dit systeem gaat als over menselijk falen. Wat de twee voornaamste thema's van de plaat zijn. Heartworms - Warplane (Glutton for Punishment, 2025) Peter van de Ploeg (cultuurjournalist NRC en samensteller To The Teeth-playlist) Beluister de uitzending met Peter Het meest excited ben ik nu over een iets minder heavy band, maar niet minder duister: Heartworms uit Londen. Post-punk, industrial, gothic pop, darkwave, het is van alles en frontvrouw Jojo Orme heeft het charisma om dat allemaal aan elkaar te lijmen. Ze zijn toegankelijk genoeg voor een groot publiek, aanstekelijk en dansbaar, en toch is er die ongemakkelijk donkere onderstroom waar ik (wij?) zo lekker op ga(an). Ik heb vanmorgen, toevallig, de promo binnengekregen van de nieuwe plaat die in februari uitkomt. Die Jojo Orme heeft een heftig levensverhaal trouwens. Uit huis gegaan op haar veertiende, in opvanggezinnen terechtgekomen en op haar zestiende alsnog op zichzelf aangewezen. Ze verdiende geld door op straat te spelen. Provisional - Deceive (Inside Out, 2024) Yordi Dam (hardcore-zine-maker Hard tegen Hard) Beluister de uitzending met Yordi Ik ben erg benieuwd naar Provisional. Een internationaal gezelschap met leden uit Nederland, Argentinië en Portugal, based in Rotterdam. Ik wijd een kort stukje aan ze in de aankomende editie van mijn blad die eind januari uitkomt. Zo omschrijf ik ze daar: PROVISIONAL Uit: Rotterdam (NL) Voor fans van: Vein.fm, Converge Geflipte all-verse-no-chorus-mathcore met een voorliefde voor bombastische Dillinger-riffs, dissonante panic chords en het occasional whammy pedaal. Ik vind het tof dat hun muziek een beetje uit de bocht vliegt, zeker naar metalcorebegrippen, dat vaak een beetje richting het gelikte gaat. Bovendien klinkt het geheel profi, spannend en - komt 'ie - bijna on-Nederlands-goed. Ik ben heel benieuwd wat deze opkomende band in 2025 gaat doen. Zwaar Aanbevolen Walg - Vuurdoop (IV, 2024) Maarten Ondersteijn (hoofdredacteur Zware Metalen) Beluister de uitzending met Pim (de voorganger van Maarten) Wij dragen namens Zware Metalen de Nederlandse, symphonische blackmetalband Walg aan: Onderbouwing: In 2023 én in 2024 wist Walg de top-10 te halen in de uiteindelijke jaarlijst van onze lezers. Een uitzonderlijke prestatie als je bedenkt dat daar grote namen staan zoals Blood Incantation, Obituary, Opeth en Marduk. Het album IV -waardering 95/100- dat wederom in eigen beheer uitgebracht is, sloeg afgelopen jaar ook weer in als een bom en redacteur Joris schreef daarover: IV van het Nederlandse Walg is zo waar (en niet geheel verrassend) een magistraal melodisch, symfonisch blackmetalwerkstuk. Ik denk dat er in de wijde omtrek geen enkele band in dit subgenre dit Walg van de troon kan stoten! Meesterlijk! Ongezien! Walgelijk lekker weer! Er is geen eind in zicht! Nog een goede reden om deze band te tippen, is het zeer exclusieve optreden op Pitfest dat dit jaar zal plaatsvinden. Nog niet eerder trad Walg op namelijk, daar het oorspronkelijk een tweemansformatie is. Daar wil je bij zijn dus! Bleed From Within - In Place of your Halo (Zenith, 2025) Jasper Verhorst (TerraDown, A Life Aligned) Beluister de uitzending met Jasper Want, een band die ik wil noemen die men zeeeker in 2025 moet checken is Bleed From Within. Dit jaar komen ze weer met een nieuwe plaat waarvan er al een paar singles uit zijn. Metal(core-ish?) uit Schotland, met heuze doedelzakken in het instrumentarium. "In Place of your Halo" is hun nieuwste single met doedelzakken in de breakdown enzo. De band ken ik al een tijdje en heb ze een aantal keer live gezien, afgelopen sinterklaas ook samen met Slipknot in de ZiggoDome en dat was echt een feestje. Terzij De Horde - In One of These, I am your Enemy (In One of These, I am your Enemy, 2022) Daan de Neef (voormalig VVD-kamerlid, speechschrijver burgemeester Carola Schouten) Beluister de uitzending met Daan Heel simpel: dat is Terzij de Horde uit Utrecht. Dit jaar komen ze met een nieuw album en wat ik ervan weet, is dat het een verdere verfijning wordt van hun vorige album ‘In one of these I am your enemy'. Alles wordt momenteel opgenomen en ik kijk er echt reikhalzend naar uit. Het wordt nog filosofischer (een nummer over Nietzsche bijvoorbeeld), maar ook melodieuzer. Ik vind het fijn dat een band niet alleen toffe muziek maakt, maar ook bijdraagt aan een beter begrip van de wereld. TDH is zowel activistisch als intellectueel. En gewoon bruut. Zanger Joost staat als een blackmetal Cicero op het podium en de rest van de band speelt in een soort roes mee. Love it! Kan niet wachten.

London based Middle Eastern progressive doom band Lowen have released their sophomore album, ‘Do Not Go to War with The Demons of Mazandaran' via Church Road Records. One of the many fables of the Shahnameh, the Persian book of Kings, concerns the folly of rulers who jealously extend their empires despite the warnings of their own people. It is during this tale that he is warned not to go to war with the demons of Mazandaran. This chapter of the book forms the concept of the album. Helmed by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Nina Saeidi, who was born into exile from Iran in the UK as there, playing metal is illegal and women singing unaccompanied risk execution. This cruel oppression has served to inspire Lowen to create glorious intense progressive doom. Mixing fantastical stories with deep dives into history and shining a light on important modern issues across six epic listens. The epitome of focus, Lowen have packed out each track with an implausible amount of instrumental detail and ensured that Nina Saeidi's immense range is always in play and on show. It is an unforgettable experience. You can read our full review of the album here: https://www.gbhbl.com/album-review-lowen-do-not-go-to-war-with-the-demons-of-mazandaran-church-road-records/ We spoke to vocalist Nina Saeidi about the new album.

In this week's episode we welcome UK metallers Employed To Serve to the PHUA cauldron of doom for a big ol' chat around everything from their latest stormer of a record Conquering, their growing label Church Road Records and everything in between. Thank you Sammy and Justine for being awesome guests - dig in now!

Si Walker, self-described moany bastard and born comedian, is both an excellent podcast guest and host! He is the creator of The SeaBin Podcast - one of my favourite comedy punk rock listens. He also plays in FOUR bands: Rash Decision, Monolithian, Helpless and Swansong. Clearly, he's a key component of the Cornish punk rock community. We balanced the conversation by having some deep chats and talking about poo and pants. You can look forward to a philosophical conversation about the meaning of punk, the importance of not following society's stereotypes, and the impending plane crash of balancing four bands. You can also learn what a festival lava lamp is, and what to do if you run out of loo roll in a disgusting bathroom. Rash Decision have just released a new album called 'Year of The Silence'. At the end of the podcast, you'll hear 'The Pain The Alters', taken from the album: rashdecision.bandcamp.com Monolithian are playing Manchester Punk Fest and Dreadfest: monolithiandoom.bandcamp.com Helpless will shortly be releasing a new album called Caged In Cold on Church Road Records: helplessnoise.bandcamp.com You can (and should) go listen to The SeaBin podcast on any podcast platform.

Justine Jones of Employed to Serve and Church Road Records & I have a conversation about how she coped with 2020, her 1st Brews, the soundtrack to her youth, her 1st shows, getting into extreme vocals, "Conquering", starting Church Roads Records, how she has been filling the void, an Employed to Serve Brew & her hangover cure. Throughout this conversation, Justine enjoyed Cornish Crown Brewery 's "Citra Boom" the 4% Citra Pale Ale while I enjoyed Overhop Canada x Vox&Hops' brand new Collab "DOUBLE VOX&OVERHOPS" the 8.5% DDH Double NEIPA. "DOUBLE VOX&OVERHOPS" was hopped with Citra, Galaxy & Vic Secret Hops, it poured out with a killer hazy veil, slapped juicy fruit on the nose & smashes a somewhat dry sneaky smooth tropical finish. This is a Heavy Montreal presents Vox&Hops episode! Heavy Montreal is Montreal's premier metal promoter. They host one of North America's best Metal Festivals & present countless amazing events during the rest of the year. I am truly honored & extremely excited to have them involved in the podcast. I am stoked to have teamed up with them to bring you Heavy Montreal presents Vox&Hops Brewtal Montreal featuring Cryptopsy, The Agonist, The Great Sabatini, Necrotic Mutation & Burning the Oppressor.

Turn this one up, and make sure your neighbors hear it too while you're at it, as we welcome the powerful frontwoman Justine Jones from the U.K. based metallic hardcore outfit, Employed To Serve. We invite Justine along with us to talk about their highly-anticipated 4th studio album “Conquering”. It's been roughly a decade into the makings for Justine, and with the new album, she and her bandmates are finally feeling they have hit their stride. Justine describes the production process from the first day to the last day and how there was a sense of pressure to reach their ceiling of musicianship. Aside from an album release, we also ask Justine about her record label called “Church Road Records” which she co-owns with her partner and bandmate Sammy Urwin. Founded in 2017 while overcoming the challenges during the recent pandemic, Justine is determined to keep the wheels turning by taking part within the music business herself. Whether it's on the stage or off, the passion and dedication within her craft remains at an all time high. One could even say, she is “Conquering” her way through her love for the music she so often puts on dynamic display. The album is full of jawbreaking riffs, ferocious vocals, and hammering drums incorporated with the sounds of hardcore punk. Take our word for it, and have the ice packs ready for the ensuing headbanging. Employed To Serve's new record “Conquering” is out now worldwide via Spinefarm Records.Stay connected with Employed To Serve, visit: http://www.employedtoserve.com/, https://www.facebook.com/employedtoserve, and https://www.instagram.com/employedtoserve/Stay connected with IUF, visit: https://interviewunderfire.com/

The Razor's Edge - Interview! https://therazorsedge.rocks Last week Employed to Serve released an album of the year contender. Today we chat with Sammy, guitarist and song writer. We chat all about the bands new album, coming out of lockdown and playing Download Pilot and how he and Justine manage to juggle band duties with running their own record label, Church Road Records.

It's been ages since I last spoke to Justine Jones, chief throat shredder in Woking's Employed To Serve – which is a bit of an understatement really, ETS might just be the best home grown rock band to tread the boards of British music venues today. Justine is also the label boss at Church Road Records. I reckon it's got to be almost two years since we last conversed, and… well, a lot has happened in those two years. Having a natter is much overdue, the band have got a new record – their fourth, Conquering, is due to be released on September 17th via Spinefarm Records - and so this conversation takes place on a bizarrely hot Autumn Day. Apologies for the low level banging and clanging on this episode. I think Castle Spoook might have awoken a spirit or something – or maybe I just need to do something about the mic I'm currently using. The James McMahon Music Podcast is a Spoook Media production. Spoook is also a record label, a promoter, a shop, a Substack - it's many things. Follow us on Instagram and Twitter. And please do Like, Review and Subscribe - it actually really helps people find our podcasts!

On this episode we welcome Sammy Urwin - guitarist, owner of beautiful hair and all-round pleasant chap. As well as laying down the heaviest riffs in Employed To Serve, he also co-runs the exceptional Church Road Records. He's eaten dog chocolate too.Join  us as we chat with him about Justin Timberlake, the dynamics of being in a band with your spouse,  pyramid schemes and the Titanic. We even ask him your burning questions, 86% of which comprise of "WHEN IS THE NEW RECORD OUT?!"While Sammy psyches himself up for his appearance on the podcast several people have described as "alright", we share the worst jobs you, our wonderful listeners, have ever had - from grave digging to lion shipping. Truly, we are all employed to serve.

In the first instalment of a series of what will hopefully be Bitchin' conversations brought to you from lockdown, Danny gets on a Zoom call with the returning Apocalyptic Riff Wizard himself, Sammy Urwin: guitarist of **insert name of pretty much any and every band here**. During this chat, Sammy recalls the events leading up to Employed to Serve and Renounced's UK & EU tour cancellations (cheers Covid) and looks to what lies ahead for the UK music industry following the pandemic. There's also some much more positive chatter about Sammy's new 'supergroup' Glorious and the craze of quarantine quizzing... -- Support Sammy's bands now by purchasing their records and merch below: - Employed to Serve: https://employedtoserve.bandcamp.com/ (Latest album 'Eternal Forward Motion' out now via Spinefarm Records) - Renounced: https://renounced.bandcamp.com/ (Latest album 'Beauty is a Destructive Angel' out now via Holy Roar Records) - Glorious: https://glorioushc.bandcamp.com/releases (Debut EP 'Unashamed' out July 3rd via Church Road Records) You can also pick up records from Sammy's record label, Church Road Records: https://churchroadrecords.limitedrun.com/ Support Good As Gold Group's new fundraising initiative The Tours That Never Were, in aid of independent and underground UK-based bands and crew, and various charities: https://the-tour-that-never-was-2020.myshopify.com/ -- SUBSCRIBE TO BITCHIN' BREW – Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts: http://smarturl.it/bitchinbrew Join the BITCHIN' CREW, the official Facebook community for friends, fans and listeners of Bitchin' Brew: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2374640246196440 Facebook: http://facebook.com/bxtchxnbrew Twitter: https://twitter.com/BitchinBrewPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bitchinbrewpod/ Email: b.brewcast@gmail.com Theme tune: 'Woes' by Scarecrow Boat (Courtesy of Ol' Boat Records: https://olboatrecords.limitedrun.com/)
