Emo + Metalcore, we have found your new favorite band. Patrick from If Not For Me sits down with Kevin to talk all about their new album, Eulogy, releasing in February of 2022. The guys dive deep into a few of the tracks not released yet like Powerless, Better Days, and Voices to really show you the inspiration behind the track, and how high quality these songs are. This is not a band you will want to miss out on. Plus as an easter egg, Ricky Armellino from Ice Nine Kills video bombs the podcast about 11 or 12 times in the background (If Not For Me was in an all day writing session with him on the day we recorded).   Find If Not For Me Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IfNotForMe Twitter: https://twitter.com/IfNotForMeBand Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifnotforme/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCndKH2HxnNUqvmfWkrHU-iQ/videos Website: https://www.ifnotformeband.com/ Merch: https://merchnow.com/catalogs/if-not-for-me Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5aqpMOXNPtkxwT7jWuE9Vd?si=h

We attended Blue Ridge Rock Fest in 2021 and we are here to talk about it. We take a look at how the bands and the fans alike worked together in order to give people a great experience and show the power of the rock and metal community. But we also look at the many things that went wrong (camping, parking, shuttles, gate security, the Golden Circle & VIP, ADA compliance, and more) to paint the picture at how disorganization put this festival in a very dangerous spot. We then look at the organizers of this festival, call out their lack of accountability, and finally issue a challenge to Jonathan Slye to come on the podcast and address all the issues so the 2022 version of the festival can go the way it is supposed to go.   Screwed By Blue Ridge Rock Festival FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/868993030399026   Follow us on social media!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/msotdrocks   Twitter: https://twitter.com/msotd_rocks   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/msotd_rocks/   YouTube: https://yout
