We're back with a brand new edition of Fresh Blood, turning up the volume on some of the best new rock and metal you need to hear. Before the tunes kick in, we revisit the listener feedback from last week’s Geekwire, where the Yungblud discussion got fans fired up and sparked some interesting points.

This week also features a special promo for the brand new podcast Pop Sickos, hosted by Chris’ brother Eric Czynszak, bringing pop culture, nostalgia, and other shenanigans to your podcast feed.

On the music front, Chris showcases Sweet Electric, Fallen Temples, Gone Savage, Hellsmoke, and Jack Slamer, while Aaron fires up the latest from Sintage, Ex-Bombers, Bat, Blackfyre Rising, and Liar Thief Bandit. It’s another killer batch of up-and-coming artists for your ears.
