The Diary is extremely happy to welcome Jeff "Oly" Olson, drummer of doom pioneers, Trouble, alongside his solo project, Retro Grave. Oly talks about how the term "godfather" applied to more than just being a legend band in Chicago, why he decided to follow a path of study than rock, how his days hosting Heady Metal allowed him to speak to his idols like friends, and getting the chance to brew his own beer.

Chapter 32 - Sleeping Village

Thursday Jun 11, 2020
We reopen the Diary this week as our cipher chats with Rick and Tim of New Jersey's Sleeping Village, talking about how they cut their teeth in many high school bands, how the origins of the band stem from annoying their other band's singer, and knowing when the riff is right.
For the month of June, Sleeping Village is donating all sales of their music to Campaign Zero, so you should head over to their Bandcamp page and pick up their new record, Holy Water.
