On this episode we get into the SMOD debacle, the role of Youtube in the scene and much more with our good friend Chris Latta of Lavaborne and Indy Metal Vault.
Chris also made this FB status I wanted to share before we get into links - something interesting to consider:
-Normalize bands with their own YouTube pages
-Remove the stigma surrounding bands with Patreon/Kickstarter campaigns
-Use album streaming channels as starting points, not destinations
-Go see your favorite bands live when they are close to your area
