OUR 100TH EPISODE! Thank you so much to everyone that's ever listened to even part of one. We love doing this and hope you enjoy listening! This week we go DEEP on the new A7X song (Nobody) and album announcment (Life Is But A Dream). ICYMI: they rolled this out through an INSANE scavenger hunt to reveal that they were releasing a new song! With the help of some members of the amazing Deathbats Club community (you know who you are), we were able to put together an overview of how this went down and how it was from the fans perspective. It's confusing, genius, and funny all at the same time. Not much more to say...ENJOY. Cheers to 100 more! - Darren & Jake.
