If we were to subtitle this episode it would earn the moniker "The Party Poms and the Adventure Pugs". That's because this week's guest, Killswitch Engage bassist Mike D'Antonio, has a Pug era and a Pom era. Currently living in the Pomeranian era with a 3 year old named Sprocket and a 9 year old named Maverick, we also touch upon the bygone pug era that was defined by Raisin and Potato. We cover lots of ground talking about honeymooning with dogs, vegetarian/veganism, how dogs enrich our lives and much more.
Killswitch Engage will release their 9th full-length album called This Consequence on February 21st and are embarking on a Spring tour on March 5th in Nashville, TN. For more info visit killswitchengage.com
Mike gave a shout out to the ASPCA who for over 150 years have been leading the way in fighting cruelty, rescuing and securing adoptions for animals in need, and driving significant legislative change that protects their lives and welfare — ultimately transforming how Americans value and care for animals.

It's always great to find an artist who you know will be perfect for this show and our guest this week, Ben Wells of Black Stone Cherry, is just that. Not only is Ben a dog dad to three wonderful beagles - Henry (13), Hank (8) and Sunny Pearl (2) - but he also just released a children's book titled Good Girl Sunny Pearl which he wrote, illustrated and published. To top it all off Ben and his wife Jessica created the Henry & Clark Foundation that supports children and animals in need.
Black Stone Cherry will be on a 11 date US tour that starts on March 13 in Bloomington, IL. For more info and tickets visit blackstonecherry.com. Ben's book Good Girl Sunny Pearl is available on Amazon and Barnes & Nobel.
Ben gave a shout out to three great organizations. The first is The Barren River Animal Welfare Association who provide a safe haven for homeless companion animals and provide animals in need with humane treatment and good homes while working to reduce the population of unwanted pets through spay/neuter programs, education, and outreach. To adopt, foster, volunteer or donate visit brawashelter.org
His second shout out goes to the Miranda Lambert led Mutt Nation whose mission is to promote the adoption of shelter pets, advance spay & neuter; and educate the public about the benefits of these actions. To see the wide range of efforts they spearhead visit muttnation.com
Lastly, Ben gave some well-earned praise to the Beagle Freedom Project who are the world’s leading organization for rescuing and rehoming animals used in experimental research. Since 2010, BFP have liberated thousands of animals while working to end their abuse through education, advocacy, and legislation.

"Scuzzy guitars galore" has been used to describe the trio helmed by this week's guest although the band's name leans more towards the low end of the drum kit. It's Mississippi bred John Barrett of Bass Drum of Death who joins the show to introduce us to his 3.5 year old rescue Egg whose DNA test revealed primarily a Beagle and Husky mix while also throwing in some Australian Cattle dog and, oxymoronically, a little Great Dane.
Bass Drum of Death are currently recording their next LP in Nashville. To keep tabs on the band visit bassdrumofdeath.com
John gave a shout out to Metro Animal Care and Control (MACC) in Nashville who are committed to the delivery of humane and responsive animal care and control services to and for the residents and animals of Nashville-Davidson County. MACC work with individuals and organizations across Nashville to help domestic animals find caring homes, decrease over-population of cats and dogs through spaying and neutering, support widespread rabies vaccinations, and promote responsible pet ownership.
