Christopher Bowes (Alestorm/Gloryhammer) - The Back Lounge Podcast: Ep 12

In a last minute episode that I honestly didn't think was going to happen, Christopher Bowes, the brains behind Alestorm and Gloryhammer, joins us for Episode 12 of The Back Lounge Podcast! We started off pretty casual, and the more the episode went on we just started getting off the rails and had a ton of laughs talking about stuff like German Gangster Rap, how weird but amazing tour bus drivers are, getting drunk at country concerts, writing songs for dogs, buying a pet giraffe, and how wild it is for Chris to live in the US now. 00:00 Intro 04:13 Podcast Start / Chris Intro 06:18 "'Round These Parts, Ain't No Such Thing As COVID" 09:24 "Alestorm Crowds Are Kind Of Intense" 11:48 Non-Metalheads Getting Into Metal 13:31 Seventh Rum Of A Seventh Rum 16:27 Digital Albums vs. Physical Products 22:42 Misheard Lyrics 25:41 Making The "P.A.R.T.Y."
