    Synopsis:

    This week Todd is holding down the fort to bring you all those Brewtal goods while Arie is out of town on a film gig! Todd has some exciting plans for the weekend while also making even more exciting plans for later in ht eyear. These plans, and his beer, have him redlining his RPMs with the fantastic IPA he was gifted from out of town friends. Pushing the Brewtal engine even harder are metal headlines such as Shadows Fall reuniting for a reunion show later this year, Between the Buried and Me expanding on the Colors universe with the announcment of Colors II, and one of our new favorite bands, and Brewtal alumni, Snake Father dropping their FILTHY debut album 'Pathways To Corruption.' Just when you thought you could let off the gas a little bit, Todd brings you some Insights into a new metalcore outfit that has that big Texas attitude, with just a hint of Self Doubt. Nothing that a nice, cold craft beer can't fix though!

    Featured Band:

    This week's episode features Self Doubt from Insights.

    Bio:

    Insights is a new metalcore band from Austin, Texas. The band is described as having earth-shattering vocals, monstrous breakdowns and melodic riffs while encompassing that big Texas attitude. Insights is full of power, from striking the perfect balance of songs that make you bang your head to beautifully crafted melodic and heavy riffs and captivating vocals.

    What Insights Are Drinking:

    As far as beer goes, we drink Coors Light or Lonestar. Nothing really crafty but we will drink an Electric Jellyfish IPA every once in awhile!

    Beers fueling this week's episode include Boneyard Beer's RPM IPA (Todd's pick)

    • RPM is an IPA that has slightly sweet maltiness balanced with a unique composition of 5 PacNW hops! RPM will have you start revving your engines with its 6.5% ABV. Boneyard Beer is located in Bend, Oregon.
