2. What band did you discover in 2017 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?
In 2017 Fatso Jetson did a US tour with The Obsessed and Karma to Burn. I was a first time listener for both bands and they both blew me away! Wino, Reid, Brian, Paul, Will, Eric and Evan are the sweetest dudes and they play the heaviest tunes in the world. They had a huge impact on my attitude and approach towards playing music. Those dudes are realer than the streets!!!
