All precautions were adhered to, when the lads arrived from neighbouring border county Limerick, to talk about the efforts that went to recording their new album.

The lads had just finished playing a stormer of a set, upstairs in An Spailpin Fanach for Urban Assault 2020, when we had a great chat about the creation of one of their best releases yet "The Electric Abyss". There was plenty of stories of hairy princesses, sheep punching and life growing up in the wonderfully named Penicuik.

The venue for the Podcast was the Hampton on Hilton Belfast, though funnily enough I never knew there was two Hiltons and of course Pete was at the other one.
