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!
You can find more about their band, upcoming shows and bios at the links below. They can be found on all major streaming platforms, after you listen to this podcast of course.
Here is a link to their new song "Decay" on Youtube.

JJ aka Inkshift is an animator, artist and illustrator currently living in Portland Oregon area. He is a lover of robots, cats and his Kim. We love JJ and were thankful enough to get some insight on the grueling lifestyle and timelines of commercial artists. We spoke about our life and our affinity for our romance.
We checked in with him and his progress on his second iteration of Speedo Frog and his adventures. We purchased the first coloring book for our home titled "Speedo Frog's House" and it has brought hours of joy to our household. You can find his information on www.inkshift.com
