Gastonia-based metal band, and saviors of The Rooster, Haymaker, dropped in for our most fun and entertaining episode to date. We talked about the performance on our roof and got into some hilarious story-telling. We had so much fun, this episode ran way long, so we broke it up into 2 episodes. Part 2 will come out in a couple of weeks.

Enjoy the episode then come see Haymaker this Saturday with up and coming metal bands Vehement, Alaya's Curse and A Separate Piece.
