This week, Bushy and Metal Mike turn our sights on an overlooked area of the rock/metal scene: The Underground. We begin the episode with an interview conducted with Lansing, Michigan area vocalist Brandon Hartman and guitarist Dominic "Dom" Mosher, of the band Let It Rot, and introduce you to their music through the track "Lake of Fire". After the interview, we discuss some underground bands that we think need your attention and support! And include some music from these bands.
Featured this week:
Let It Rot, 13Pagan Holiday13, Liliac, Terrifier, Crypt Sermon, Savage Master, Lake Effect Mud, and Haunt, in no particular order.
So, if you haven't delved into the underground, check this out. We feel many sub-genres of hard rock/heavy metal are represented here.
We also discuss a little more RockNPod, as we are in full RockNPod prep mode!

Bushy and Metal Mike have an amazing guest for this episode!
John Morris AKA Ducats of That Metal Station (Who is also the Co-Owner along with Metal Mike of TMS) was awesome enough to come on the show and tell us of his adventures and misadventures and even crazier experiences in the music industry!
John informs us how he got his foot in the door by becoming an intern for Combat Records, which eventually led to him being hired by Senior Vice President of A&R for Roadrunner Records, Monte Conner, to manage the very first US tour for the legendary Sepultura!
During this whole time Ducats was a Road Manager for Death, the previously mentioned Sepultura, as well as Faith Or Fear and a host of others.
He was also a Tour manager for Ultimate Revenge 2, served as Road crew for a ton of other bands/artist and was a stage hand / manager for legendary L'Amour music venue in Brooklyn, New York!
The tales that John told us are brutally honest and unfiltered just like the man himself and totally hilarious! We had so much fun doing this episode that Ducats has agreed to come back because he has a TON more stories to tell!
If you are a Music Geek like Bushy and Metal Mike, then you will absolutely love the minutiae and behind the scenes insanity of the tales of debauchery with Ducats!
You can check out Rehab with Ducats every Saturday 8 PM – 12 AM EST at www.thatmetalstation.com
