BONUS EPISODE: Angel Grit

Angel Grit comes from the concrete of New York City’s Lower East Side. They are a collision of hardcore, punk, and metal that doesn’t fit neatly into one box. The band exists to cut through a male-dominated scene with a ferocious, female-forward presence that is as melodic as it is heavy. Frontwoman Melissa Schainker and drummer Louis Iacobelli sit down with Wellington Davis and Steve Strait to discuss the band’s formation, balancing personal life with band dynamics, and the expectations of women in society. Follow the band on Instagram @angelgrit and at their Web site at angelgrit.com.
