Always a great interview with Indie artists from my youth

So many great interviews to listen to... I like how Bryan lets the musician tell the story. Has got me re-engaged in the music of my youth.

Cousins (and band mates) Travis and Stephen bring on fellow musicians to talk about their own journeys. As someone who grew up listening to 90s/00s Christian hardcore but being far removed from the scene (being in Canada), it's really cool to hear the stories behind the music I grew up with.
