In this episode, we’re celebrating Hollow Moon’s one-year anniversary🎉!!! Let’s give it a birthday shout-out. We’ll also get to hear from Avery Bacchues on his experience as an African American/Black drummer in a band called The X-Hunters. The band was formed in 2010, mainly just so the band members could have fun. They play instrumental covers of video game songs, predominantly in the metal genre with bits of progressive rock sprinkled in. Their music can be found on Bandcamp (https://xhunters.bandcamp.com/). They also have a Facebook page too (https://www.facebook.com/TheXHunters). I really enjoyed the songs below: Mankind’s arrogance, Kremlin Kong Quest To learn more about all things video game related, including video game music, look into MAGFEST. Band/artist and recommended reads from Avery are: Bad Brains, American Rock Band ("Rasta Punk") Sammus, Blk American underground rapper. Rap on Trial Book by Andrea L.
