It's a conversation (recorded from inside a closet) with local metalcore outfit [Epirus](http://epirus.bandcamp.com/releases)! We talked about their upcoming EP, life as a band during the pandemic, easycore (which was a new one on me), and much more. This episode is slightly shorter than usual, because there's only one song as opposed to the usual four. Their EP isn't out yet, so the only track we used in the podcast was the debut single, "It's Not Me". This episode is brought to you by our friends [the Dirty Beat](http://www.instagram.com/thedirtybeat/) and [Jared Adams](http://tragicnostalgia.ca/).

New band alert! Mannon and Nick of brand spankin’ new country project [Show Pony](http://showpony1.bandcamp.com/releases) are on the podcast!

We didn't forget about this episode! Back in the summer, co-host Ryan moved over to the guest chair (along with collaborator Tina) to talk about his Thieveswpg art collective. Due to other episodes being more time-sensitive, this episode continually got bumped until now. If you're a recent listener, this one is a little different than what you've been used to over the latter part of 2016. Because it was recorded earlier in the year, it follows the old random song selection format rather than being an in-depth feature on a particular artist. We talk to Ryan and Tina about the inception and growth of Thieves, as well as the trials and tribulations of being DIY, independent visual artists in Winnipeg today. I haven't listened to this episode since it was originally recorded, so I guess it's a bit of a surprise for everyone! ...
