This week we do very much the same as we did last week: Slag off each other’s album recommendations, talk about some great new releases, read out your messages and roll the dice one more time to generate a brand new band name! It’s really got EVERYTHING you could ever want from anything ever!
Yes we made it to a second episode! More fool YOU! Tune in to find out what we thought of each other’s album selections, hear about some recent new releases and find out what this week’s band name generator throws up...SICK!
WE ARE LIVE! Although not actually, it’s pre-recorded. In episode 1 we quickly run down our metal credentials, give you our top 10 albums of LAST year and try out our soon-to-be famous ‘Band Name Generator’ for the very first time.
Get used to the soothing tones of our silky, smooth and dare we say dulcet voices as we struggle through ideas for a theme song. It’s how all GREAT podcasts begin!
