Episode 68: My Friends Drowning Pool

It's been 15 years since Drowning Pool - primitively-heavy by design and southern by the grace of God - first let the bodies hit the proverbial floor. A myriad of changes have faced them and the world around them since then - the tragic loss of their original singer, the decline of their genre's movement - but the truth is that Drowning Pool have never gone anywhere. They've stuck to their guns defiantly as one of nu-metal's truest survivors - and, with a new lead singer at the helm, they've come to balance their past with their present in hopes to continue into the future. The band reccently undertook their first-ever headlining tour of Australia, and three (eventually all four) of its members convened backstage at Sydney's Manning Bar to regale us with stories of fuck-ups, finding themselves and bumping into The Undertaker at WrestleMania 18.Drowning Pool's latest album, Hellelujah, is out now.Digital: https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/hellelujah/id1056225886Physical: http://www.fishpond.com.au/Music/Hellelujah-Drowning-Pool/0099923529828This podcast is brought to you by Spit the Dummy Records and This One's for Mum - which is this weekend!http://spitthedummyrecords.bigcartel.com http://facebook.com/thisonesformumfestivalSupport the podcast via Patreon for as little as one dollar a month - http://patreon.com/barbandsDrowning Pool on Twitter: @DrowningPoolAll My Friends Are in Bar Bands on Twitter: @BarBandsPod David on Twitter and Instagram: @DJYwrites This One's For Mum on Twitter and Instagram: @thisonesformumSupport David on Patreon: http://patreon.com/davidjamesyoungSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
