Episode 277 - Bastardane

This week Clint and guest host Tom Kwei (Alphabetallica, Battle Rap Resume) link up to listen to and discuss the debut album by Bastardane, a hard rock trio based out of Savannah, GA consisting of Jake Benn (lead vox/bass), Ethan Sirotzki (guitar) and James Hetfield's son Castor Hetfield (drums). Is this Rage? is a ten song monster LP filled with sludgy riffs, melodic solos, plodding rhythms and tempo changes. Clint and Tom break down each song as they both come to some surprising conclusions upon first listen. Other topics explored in this episode include the Beanstalk Sitch, Oscar season films, Stone Temple Pilots, a re-evaluation of nu metal, the importance of repeated listens, grunge music, Clint touring in Europe this summer and more. Enjoy!
