8: Mendeed and the Fraud Allegations against Producer Mark Daghorn

Well, fudge! Join Jesse Van Rachnid on this episode of All Abandon as he explores the career of early-to-mid-aughts metalcore band Mendeed. Hailing from Scotland, Mendeed only released two proper albums, 2005's This War Will Last Forever, and 2007's The Dead Live By Love. Could the band's producer, Mark Daghorn, have anything to do with their stalled career? It isn't entirely clear, though many young musicians and bands once took to the internet to accuse Daghorn and his record label of fraud. Daghorn denies wrongdoing, but what do you think?
