Max Phelps from Exist joins me on this episode. We jump right into a discussion on the the influence of jazz on his music, latest Tool album, cliché Tool fans, and the greatness of Chris Poland. And how the band’s name, Exist, is a problem on Google. Max also explains how the last two albums, So True So Bound & Egoiista, were recorded at around the same time. But after a serious health scare, Egoiista had to be delayed. Give Exist a follow on Instagram @exist_band_official. Follow us @PerformanceAnx.
