This go around features one of my favorite bands to come out in the last 10 years, Black Crown Initiate. Guitarist Andy Thomas and Vocalist James Dorton talk about the very real, and very emotionally taxing situation of creating their new album, dealing with not being able to tour because of the Covid situation, and what that means for the band, and their mental health. We learn about how the guys got into music, what other projects they are working on, and their thoughts on how AI and social media are negatively affecting society.
