With one of the best band names I’ve heard in a while, The Contortionist is a breath of fresh metal that you needn’t miss! These midwestern boys really know their shit, and I was stoked to get to talk to them plus get to see them play recently at the Key Club on the world famous Sunset Strip.

Jonathan Carpenter (vocals/keyboards) and Robby Baca (guitar) dove into the Indy metal scene, what’s on their iPod and what’s in the near future.  I tried my best to get them to pep-it-up but it was DIFFICULT GODDAMNIT. I’M YELLING AND I COULDN’T GET THEM TO YELL AT ALL.
