Episode #42 - David Bunton (Hope Deferred, The Showdown)

On this episode, I speak with David Bunton, who you might recognize from The Showdown, signed to Mono vs Stereo and Solid State Records from 2004 up until around 2011 when they called it a day. They reunited for a couple shows at Furnace Fest in 2022 and 2024, and David’s now back in a new band, Hope Deferred, a bone-crushingly heavy death metal band featuring members of Embodyment and The Famine. We go back and talk about The Showdown’s awesome run, what led to them moving on, and how Hope Deferred came to be and what we can expect from them in the future. If you’re looking to grab some last minute tickets to a show or sporting event, SeatGeek has got you covered - first time users can punch in promo code “Denning” at checkout for $20 off their order. Also, the team at EmosNotDead are always holding it down, giving podcast listeners 20% off their entire order using promo code “Denning20” at checkout - EmosNotDead.com
