In The Abyss Podcast

This week... Tregenza & Beandog spend an hour in the company of Mr Andrew Field, creator / owner / overlord of one of our favourite labels, APF Records. We discuss Andrew's entry point into music, a brief flirtation with a major record label in the 90s and all things APF Records... the bands, the records, the riffs... and TikTok!APF Records: https://apfrecords.co.uk/Intro music Taken from 'Barrel Full O Smoke' by The Grudge, check em out on facebook, Instagram, Bandcamp etc @thegrudgeukSponsored by RADIO CITY BEER WORKS: https://www.rcbw.shop/Instagram: @intheabyssmetal / @ant_dan / @padreintheabyss / @joeytregenza / @originalbeandogTwitter: @IntheabyssukFacebook: @intheabyssuk

This week... It's Dream Theater week! Yes, the band we must not mention get the album ranking treatment...

This week... We take our annual deep dive into the 90s and count down our top 10 albums from 1995... Or to make us feel extra old, Top 10 turning THIRTY this year!
