Joining me today is Mr. Jean Paul Gaster of the overwhelmingly awesome Clutch! If you know anything about me you know I'm a huge fan so this is a big deal in a lot of ways. We talk about lots of things relating to live shows, be it setlists, upcoming tours, practicing and plenty more as well as the bands plans for 2025 and his recurring nightmare just to name a few things.

Joining me for this weeks show is Chris "Scary" Adams of the mighty Black Tusk, who have just put out an awesome and purely Black Tusk album. We obviously talk plenty about the album, The Way Forward, as well as being delayed by T Swizzle, getting opinions on what to change from unexpected places, which band member should be played by which famous person for a video (one of which gets stuck with Kid Rock), anxiety about just getting to a show and tons more both useful and funny stuff along the way.

Joining me for this show, all the way from Germany, is Chris from the band Half Me! They have a particular brand of maybe more authentic "metalcore" that we talk about, as well as things like how to describe their band to grandma, making music that is like a sonic punching bag, the breakdown running man meme/gif, learning that you can't shit in a Nightliner, the benefits of being a good person and much much more! Do the right thing.

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.
