Brews, Brujas and Blunts (and BBQ) with Scoundrel

I sat down with Eric Gutierez of Scoundrel out of Fresno, CA and was also joined by the man himself Taylor Anderson (Titan Audio /Aaerial/Pala) for a chat back in late April 2023 to learn a little bit more about the heavy coming out of the west coast.  Due to life getting in the way on my end, this podcast was a little behind schedule to promote their recent tour that had three stops in Texas.  I spoke to the band and they said the tour was great and they plan on coming back to Texas and hitting the other markets so I owe them a redo.  Eric is the main song writer for Scoundrel and also I found out he is a bit of a foodie (he'd fit in well here in Austin).  We talked about their singles "Ides of March" and "Skinwalker", Eric's live set up, AI generated cover art and we even got some Titan Tips from Taylor.Message from the band:Fueled by “Brews, Brujas and Blunts”, Scoundrel is THE heart-pounding metalcore outfit from Fresno, California, which was formed in late October of 2018 by Guitarist Eric Gutierrez, Bassist Steffen Clark and Drummer Chris Bradburd. Scoundrel thrives with heavy influences from Hardcore, Nu-metal, Deathcore, and Progressive metal. Scoundrel focuses on raw, force-of-nature-type energy when playing live and in the studio – having shared the stage with a diverse catalogue of bands such as Left to Suffer, Oceano, Nonpoint, Dropout Kings, Alesana Carnifex, Enterprise Earth, The Faceless, and many more.
