Show in Review: Like A Storm, Farewell to Fear, Taking Dawn, Nebula X

Pre-Show Shenanigans: My day started like any other person’s day would. Woke up with a mild hang over that I quickly remedied with massive amounts of caffeine and aspirin.

Having been a Vegas local for a while now, you just know this shit. Buddies come into town, crash on your couch,...

Pit Nation!  Devante & Ski (your’s truly) sat down with the gents from Never Ending Last Words to talk shop. This is the first ever audio interview with a band for Into the Pit with Annie. Fair warning the audio isn’t the best due to poor planning on my part but some good shit non-the-less....
