episode 419: Embracing Nostalgia with Vicky Psarakis & Robby J. Fonts of Sicksense
Vicky Psarakis & Robby J. Fonts of Sicksense & I have a conversation about launching the band in Montreal, Nu Metal, the birth of Sicksense, how they write songs, the best / worst parts of being in a band with your spouse, the end of The Agonist, mental health and how they fight the hops.
Throughout this chat, Vicky drank L'Amère à Boire's "Drak" the 5.8% Polotmavy Pivo, Robby drank their "Müesli" the 5% Oatmeal Stout while I enjoyed their Černá the 5% Bohemian Pilsner.
This is a Heavy MTL presents Vox&Hops episode! Heavy MTL is Montreal's premier metal promoter. They host one of North America's best Metal Festivals & present countless amazing events during the rest of the year. I am truly honored & extremely excited to have them involved in the podcast.
