They dive headfirst into the chaos—from their first stage nerves to the wild stories of playing Chili’s or imagining shows at nursing homes. These guys are raw, real, and ready to take the stage... possibly in Japan or in your backyard (well, maybe).In this episode, you'll discover how this Austin three-piece got their start—bouncing back from hiatus, channeling social issues into heavy tunes like “Crave” and “De-Throned,” and what it takes to survive your first gig (spoiler: it's mostly about band camaraderie and practice). They share foolishly funny stories about rehearsals, insecurities, and how to handle stage fright without turning into a total nervous wreck.We break down their upcoming plans—more gigs, new releases, and even their hilarious nightmare visions of playing at Waffle House. Plus, get the scoop on the wild themes behind their songs, from drug obsession to fighting off the shadowy perils of the music industry—and maybe even a little “Nursing Home Metal.” Perfect for fans craving heavy riffs and honest stories, or anyone who thinks band life is all long hair and loud amps.Whether you're a metalhead, a future frontman, or just a curious soul who loves a good laugh, this episode will inspire you to get on stage, face your fears, and maybe dream up your own Chili’s gig.And remember — don’t take more than one Cytera per eight hours—side effects may include headbanging, giggling, and a sudden urge to start a band.Support these guys, stream their tracks “Crave,” “Alice,” and “De-Throned,” and prepare for their stage debut—probably sooner than you think. This is metal storytelling at its most raw, real, and ridiculously entertaining.Episode InfoIG: https://www.instagram.com/cyteraband/Website: https://stagelink.to/cyteraATXMP Website: https://atxmp.transistor.fm/Sponsors / AffiliatesCome and Take It Productions: https://www.comeandtakeitproductions.comCome and...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Ak1JZRc9-r0tkjvj2ym7QvUQgffa0PS2-YyKAmN1geE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzcxMTAvMTcwNjIx/ODc2MS1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
