After releasing their 4th EP ("Love Songs") in 6 years via Daze, Brandon joins us to talk about the origin of the band, RBS, his preference for music made after 2008, the SPLASH ZONE, the unexpected growth of Big Boy/what it means for the future of the band and much much more.
We had a blast getting inside the mind of one of the most naturally charismatic frontmen in hardcore today. Enjoy.
