    #163: Where Do Punk and Metal Stand Today? Black Tusk Give A Way Forward!

    #163: Where Do Punk and Metal Stand Today? Black Tusk Give A Way Forward!

    In episode 163 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, I speak with the mighty Black Tusk. I was curious where they think punk rock stands in today's music scene. During the conversation, we touched on having great parents and where the motivation to make heavy music comes from when life is good. We wound up making some fun jokes along the way too, because it should come as no surprise that Black Tusk are cool dudes as well as great musicians!

    Get Black Tusk's new album 'A Way Forward' this Friday April the 26th!
