In this new episode of TFTR, Moe is joined by a new contributor and writer for 008 Magazine, Miranda Davis.
Our guests are Sean and Luke from the local Lafayette metal scene who join us for another deep dive. We discuss their band WRITHINGS. Writhings is one of the most extremely talented bands that has ever been spawned in Lafayette, Louisiana. The band has only performed twice thus, far but they have caught the attention of some heavy hitters already in the scene and surrounding areas. They have opened up for Metal Blade Records recording artists CAPRA and Goatwhore. WRITHINGS take influences from every evil corner of all the extreme metal genres, and THEY DON'T MISS. If you're into extreme metal meets old school D-beat, then push play and get gnarly.

Alrrrrright, a new episode coming in scorching hot. We have none other than the extremely talented vocalist, Kyle Thomas from New Orleans' own Exhorder. And for those of you who do not know about the likes of Exhorder, this episode is for you to get up to speed. Exhorder has given much influence to the metal scene for a long time (see Pantera, see Lamb of God, and also see Machine Head). Their groove and thrash mix cannot be denied and we were fortunate to catch over an hour of conversation with their founding member and vocalist - Kyle Thomas. We get to hear the humble beginnings of his musical career and we also catch a glimpse of what we can look forward to next from this legend. NO MORE READING, GET INTO IN AND STAY GNARLY.

It is now 2022. A new year, a new episode, and a new batch of gnarly. In this episode, we sit down with Jai Benoit and Jerik Thibodeaux of Golgothan. Golgothan was established in 2011 and the band continues to churn out BRRRRUTAL death metal with a dose of cajun seasoning and some B movie horror influences. From their earliest E.P. Gutwrench, to their upcoming release on Lacerated Enemy Records, Golgothan is not for the faint of heart. If you're a fan of Cattle Decapitation, Bloodbath, or Aborted, then check out this latest podcast with Lafayette's own Golgothan.
Thank you for tuning in and STAY GNARLY

In this episode, we welcome one Danny Solet Jr. Yes, you read that right another Solet in the house! In fact, my esteemed cousin Danny is a guitarist for the nu-metal core act HourHouse. Danny and the HourHouse gang are straight out of the studio and ready to hit the road running. Until then, sit back and hear the soothing sounds of not one, but two Solet voices talking a bit of new school meets old school metal.
