Destructobot. The epitome of anger, noodle riff master and comedy reference sweetheart, James 'Bob' Davies, is our guest on Episode 358 of Sappenin' Podcast! As Raiders finally release their long-awaited and first official body of work, 'Cold Eyes / Dead Hearts', exclusively with Bandcamp, The Blackout founding guitarist breaks his media silence, with never before told secrets behind mentally juggling both bands, industry success parallels and the landscape of their respected futures. In this conversation, Bob open up on using Raiders as an artistic expression, writing new music, why it's taken so long to record a catalog of songs, staying completely independent vs The Blackout's impressive label history, exploring modern business formulas, appreciating their past achievements, building a fresh unsigned community with artists like Fangs Out, Delour and NIGHTLIVES, experiencing hard truths, underground tour mayhem, unfiltered meme moments, unexpected plans for The Blackout in 2026 and more! Turn it up and join Sean and Morgan to find out Sappenin' this week!
