Apple Podcasts1between the richnessUnited States3 months ago - How did PRO-PAIN miss the best band name list?
I hated this show until I listened to the variety of content. Now, I’m here to give high praise. Loved the Professor Bo history lesson. I need one of those quarterly. The variety of content keeps this show entertaining and engaging. Collin should have just been a comedian.
Finally, PRO-PAIN is the best metal/hardcore band name.
