Most of you probably remember my good friend and ex-Creative Director Chris Morris. Unfortunately he had to resign his position from the site a few months ago to devote more time to fatherhood and his new band Our Western Sky. If you haven’t heard them yet, they’re the closest thing Greenville has to a super group as it features him and bassist Matt Mashburn from long-running post-rock band East North, as well as Michael Barksdale of Culture Prophet, Exploding Clouds, Exaggeration Eddie and probably a few dozen others I neglected to mention on guitar.

You can catch the band this Friday at The Radio Room in Greenville along with Eat Lighting and The Unawares. You can read my interview with Chris below as well as stream some of their tracks.

If you don’t know who Trivium is, I imagine you live in some sort of war-era paranoia-fueled bunker and I’m sorry.
