The Out of Focus Guys

Music is by far one of the most impactful creations by humans, often transcending political, social and cultural barriers and almost always bringing humans together.

These two Pacific Northwest exports, having been friends for over a dozen years and now both living on the East Coast, discuss all things music of the past, present and future and over a range of genres, giving their accounts of the benefits of having music as a cornerstone to one's soul, and seeking to share and encourage others to reap the same positive impacts.

Ranging in topics, genres, guests, recommendations, music and tour news, and all with beer in hand!

Episode Synopsis:
In this episode, Nick and Roger discuss the issue of bands losing members, with some continuing on and others calling it quits. The Out of Focus Guys draw specifically on the recent release of the album From Zero, by Linkin Park, the first release of new material without Chester Bennington, as well as several examples of other bands that have carried on in similar fashion and with great success as well as the benefits of giving such bands/albums a fair chance before shutting them down.
