What artist or band should I highlight next?

This is an old one but a good one so I'm reposting it. Why? I give a pretty damn good reason...

I dive into the world of music production and the evolution of the music industry with special guest Justin Koop, owner and producer at B Town Sound in Burlington, Ontario. They discuss the beginnings of Justin's journey in the music scene, including his time in a metal band in the early '90s, and the impacts of streaming and DIY recording on today's artists. Justin shares insights into how his studio has adapted over the years, his collaboration with notable Canadian bands, and his artist development initiatives. The episode is filled with anecdotes, industry observations, and a heartfelt discussion on what drives their passion for rock and roll.
