Episode 276: Four dudes in the booth! This week we have a very special episode with BOTH frontman of Erra - JT and Jesse - AND New Noise's own Mike Howell who happens to be a giant fan of the band. We discuss their new self titled album (one of the best albums so far this year), the importance of lyrics in metalcore but how little they are thought about in the genre, the difficulty of livestreams, and Erra being criminally underrated ... and how that's all about to change.A huge shoutout to our new sponsor Heartbeat Hot Sauce!
