This week, we're scratching The Itch for a major award! You voted for Taproot as our March Bandness winner, so we had Phil, Stephen, and Taylor from the band join us to discuss their new album, their new old album, and their fall tour. Along the way we'll hear about their decision to turn down a notable tour, a track that almost featured Layne Staley, selling skateboards, and how they maintain a connection with their fans.
As promised, relevant links: TaprootMerch.com The new single V\CT\M \ PLAY Podioslave's new conversation with Phil Podioslave's previous conversation with Phil
