This episode is not focused specifically on the band because, to be honest, we just decided to record this with no actual plan, but regardless, we’ll discuss their inspirations, songwriting process, and the challenges faced while promoting heavy music in a diverse music landscape. Rock and roll.  https://vulgarmephitis.bandcamp.com/album/vulgar-mephitis Welcome to Start The Beat—a podcast documenting the Pittsburgh music scene's past, present, and future.
