On this episode I'm joined by drummer Meredith Henderson and guitarist Mike Clampitt of VCTMS.
We discuss their new EP 'Pain Processing II', what connects it with the first 'Pain Processing' EP released in 2024, why they've always been pro guest features and experimentation, adding a Quentin Tarantino interview sample, and loads more.
A new episode will be released every Thursday.
