We had a very important guest come by the studio this week. He’s opened for a ton of bands, sold 1000 copies of his record Thunder Under Pressure, and still has an undying passion for music. I’m talking of course about Justin “Hardcore Warrior” Weaver. A staple of St. Catharines and the Niagara music scene. It wasn’t uncommon to see Justin up at the front of every show head banging his brains out. His one man project and since turned into a family band with his brother playing bass. Together they’ve formed Synergy of the Fallen and have still been playing and practicing their hearts out. Tune in as Justin and I get down to the bottom of things like Dimebag’s death, his backyard wrestling career, and what it was like growing up with a family of nudists⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️WATCH HERE⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️Like and Subscribe below:Youtube.com/Bandecdotes-SUPPORT SYNERGY OF THE FALLEN HERE-BANDCAMP: https://synergyofthefallen.bandcamp.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/synergyofthefallen/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq-lVX3X7tH4SzunuXF4MQALike, Subscribe, Follow, Rate & Review
