I tend not to do repeat guests, but I will grant exceptions for certain circumstances and frankly this was one of them. Considering it's been 6 years since I checked in with my friend Brendan Murphy from Counterparts, it was about dang time. We discussed mental focus, expectations and aesthetics behind the band. It was a insightful and reflective chat on how he has changed and where things stand now.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A huge band for me fresh into the metalcore scene, was Focal Point. Their blend of everything I love lyrically and musically about the genere was all there and today I have the pleasure of bringing you a discussion I had with Ryan Clark, the guitarist of that band plus Demon Hunter and Training For Utopia.
