Episode 13: Brendan Ekstrom of Circa Survive / This Day Forward

Keith and Tommy sit down with our good friend, virtuoso guitarist and South Florida hardcore magnate: Brendan Ekstrom. We discuss Brendan's early days in Maryland, how he discovered the scene, his work in 200 North and how he and the band ended up relocating to South Florida and then back to Maryland. Brendan also tells the story of how he joined This Day Forward and his experiences with the band. We also discuss the formation and early days of post-hardcore greats Circa Survive, the recording and release of Juturna and their major label experiences around the release of Blue Sky Noise. Keith also seizes this opportunity to ask Brendan some band do's and don'ts. Finally, we close out the discussion with the return of everyone's favorite game: WHO WOULD HEADLINE?
