    in this episode I chat with vocalist travis from the mighty christworm from Baton Rouge, La. this episode was awesome to do. was able to get the call in from travis and chat all things about the band, some song writing and kinda get into what's behind the lyrics and the emotion of writing these massive songs. I was kinda nervous but maybe that's just the fan boy coming out. lol we talk about upcoming plans for the band and upcoming events including the sold out set it off fest at mid city ball room.. had a few signal drops but overall this was one of my favotie interviews from one of my favorite bands overall. thanks for all the people who join the livestream and for whoever would like to check it out, go to our YouTube channel like and subscribe. also check out christworm if u want an onslaught of intense doom and sludge notorious for our scene in LOUISIANA! thanks again for all support!!!!!
