GRPPLNG Chris Plumb on their new record H's All Around, Motor City Machine Guns, Reforming The Band

From the ashes of The High Crusade comes GRPPLNG, the musical brain child of Motor City Machine Guns Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, Chris Plumb, Adam Cline, and Adam Tatro. GRPPLNG's debut EP, "H's All Around," comes out May 18th and features four new original songs about heartache, happenstance, hubris, and hope. On today's episode, Chris Plumb and I talk all about the new record, the themes behind the music, and how time apart made the GRPPLNG guys come back together. We also discuss playing in a band with the Motor City Machine Guns and the expectations that can often be built around their name, but in a different creative outlet. We also talk all about the creative process, how their lyrical content evolved over time as they grew up, how Chris eventually ended up being turned onto wrestling after despising it as a child, and what's on the playlist of GRPPLNG's Chris Plumb.

D-Von Dudley on His Entrance Music in ECW, WWE, WWF, and TNA, Reverend D-Von, Being a Metalhead

D-Von Dudley of The Dudley Boyz and Team 3D. Reverend D-Von. Whatever you wanna call him, one word will always stand out: legend. D-Von Dudley is a wrestler who is synonymous with so many companies and the most decorated tag teams in all of professional wrestling, so it's only fitting that he's had a myriad of awesome entrance themes over his career. We talk all about the entrance themes he's had with The Dudley Boyz and how their Wrestlemania moment was one of the best theme moments for him, how his music impacted his solo runs as Devon in TNA and Reverend D-Von in WWE, and how D-Von fell in love with heavy metal and is still a metalhead to this day! Did you know he plays drums? What's his warm-up song? Mind blown. We also talk about how entrance themes worked in the hallowed halls of ECW and his time in ECW played a huge part in getting Batista over with the office and the crowd in a selfless moment in the ring.

Atreyu - Travis Miguel on the new record The End Is Not The End, The Bella Twins, Atreyu's Longevity

Atreyu just dropped their latest record, The End Is Not The End, which is thirteen tracks of the sonic brutality and creativity that you've come to know and love with them. Travis Miguel (a fellow Balaguer Guitars endorsee with some sick custom guitars!) and I had the opportunity to sit down a few days before the record came out to talk all about the creation of the record, his favorite tracks from it, and how Atreyu has achieved the longevity of being in a band for almost 25 years. As many would assume, we also get into the story of WWE's The Bella Twins being in the Right Side Of The Bed video and how that came to be! We also talk about what's on Travis Miguel's playlist!
