This episode features an interview with Matt Pitre from super heavy new(ish, but a long time in-progress) alternative/experimental metal project [Book Of Ghosts](http://www.instagram.com/bookofghostsofficial/)! It's a fun chat about the band’s debut record, playing brutally heavy music that is also accessible and catchy, the trials and tribulations of trying to put on a show with something that – up to now – has just been a recording project, and much more! This episode is brought to you by our pals at [the Park Theatre](http://www.myparktheatre.com/) and by new-on-the-scene acoustic duo [Nineteen](http://www.facebook.com/nineteenacoustic/), breaking the boundaries of jazz, folk and pop. They're playing [Jan. 17 at X-Cues](http://www.facebook.com/events/1041433856209392/)! ...
Just a warning on this one: the audio is pretty rough. It was recorded above a venue while a metal band rehearsed in the next room. It is what it is… a really fun, strange conversation with ¾ of very, very sad art-pop (glamour pop?) act iansucks, while some other band bashes away in the background.

Rootsy, harmony-slingin' folk-rockers Rory Verbrugge and the Ruckus sit down to talk about their forthcoming debut album, "pearl" songs and much more on the latest episode! This one also features some glorious live performances, so stay tuned until the end of the show. ...
