On this episode we talk about the New Orleans, New Tone SKA band Bad Operation. We talk about how cool their sound is in the SKA scene and how different it is compared to a lot of the music that got us in to SKA. We talk about how relevant their lyrics are in todays climate and how needed a space like this is as well.

We also talk about the Sydney Australian, Metalcore band Backlash. We heard one of their singles on Instagram and instantly fell in love with their sound. They have this really cool melodic guitar in their new single and it's definitely worth checking out.

On this episode we talk about the Buffalo, New York Metalcore band It Dies Today. I think most of us remember them from the Caitiff Choir but their EP, Forever Scorned, before that album is amazing and the two albums after are great too. We talk about how they might have lost popularity after their second album, Sirens, even though the album is not bad at all. We talk about how maybe some of the shows they did might have hurt them, especially Ozzfest, because people in the crowd that listened to them might not have understood them. We also talk about some of their singles that have been released and some new fests and shows they are doing in the future. Go check them out when they play Hellfest and give some of their side projects a shot like Frozen Ground.

On this episode we talk to our buddy Adam from Riff Valley's Tacos. We met him and his brother up at #flyoverfest a couple months ago and fell in love with their tacos.... that happen to be vegan tacos as well. I know it's crazy, but they are some of the best tacos I've had, vegan or not.

We got in to what came first, love of music or love of tacos and how he got started cooking. We talked about his influence in the scene in South Texas and how him and his brother basically built the hardcore scene down there.

We also heard some amazing stories about times he brought bands down there and what it was like booking shows in a place that is kind of difficult to get to. He deserves a ton of credit from what he has done in the scene and it was really awesome talking to him!
