Monday May 05, 2025
Monday May 05, 2025
We interviewed Forge The Sun, a Prog Rock Metal Band from the Detroit Michigan area. We met the band that consists of Tristan, Ally, Beret and Isaac and chatted with them about our typical banter. In this podcast we speak of mental health and musical influence, we spoke of some of our experiences as musicans, favorite venues, family and nipple tattoos. Can't forget the dog "Peanut" and Isaacs affinity for Vernor's Ginger Ale-now a Michigan staple (Because Faygo Sucks!)
The band will be opening for Falling in Reverse at Upheaval in July (19th) as well as other shows such as Walk The Beat in Grand Haven MI in August. This band it remarkably talented and have a lot of trust, tenacity and value in the music they produce. Forged in 2021, you would not know that this band is still in its infancy!
