Episode 43: Sevendust Articles (Patreon)
Content
Hello Kids! Apologies for the delay on this one. A peek behind the curtain: I was away on vacation when the Sevendust episode went up. So I'm just getting home now and back to work. As we remarked on the episode, it seems as though Sevendust wasn't getting a ton of press at the time, and Lajon seems like a pretty decent fella. Anyway, here are your articles:
