74 - Brandan Schieppati | BLEEDING THROUGH: Pioneering Metalcore & Politics in Metal

Garza sits down with Brandan Schieppati. Singer of Orange County metalcore band Bleeding Through. With animosity/bitterness between the Inland Empire & Orange Country hardcore scene. This conversation between Brandan & Garza took 20 years to happen. We talk about the deep origins of HEAVY music as we know it today. If it wasn’t for Brandan. Most of our favorite heavy bands wouldn’t exist. https://www.instagram.com/bleedingthrough SPONSORS: distrokid.com/vip/garza 30% OFF! emgpickups.com Promo Code: Heavy 15% OFF!
