This week is so big we could easily have four #1's, but Mike had the tough job of picking just one. And yes - it's a controversial choice. Regardless, tons of "New News", tour announcements, as well as talking about our favorite releases from last week from bands such as Meliorist, Sanguisugabogg, Osaiah and The Winery Dogs. As always, get the full list at Mike’s Instagram, @slappyslam !
