Today I chat with Scott Acquavella, one of the vocalist/guitarists of Cryptodira, to discuss plenty about their inspirations and upcoming/past tours. We also chatted about the European concertgoing mentality, how Cryptodira mixed old mythology with modern theories of intersectionality and oppression, and some strange band requests involving Adam Sandler.
