225. I Was At My Breaking Point (Alex Ballew - ERRA)
55:24||Ep. 225This week we are joined by the awesome Alex Ballew from the band ERRA. Formed in Birmingham, Alabama, ERRA are mainstays in the metalcore scene and have just released their seventh album ‘Silence Outlives The Earth’ on 6th March 2026. With a 32 date US tour starting the same day Alex was kind enough to take a break from pre-tour rehearsals to chat to us about prepping for tour, recording the new album, double kick technique, why he doesn’t use triggers live and much more.
