For my tenth interview (whoo!) I sat down with Nick and Abby from Vend3tta and talked with them about their new project: Everything Is Falling. We talked about their history in the Blono scene, their DIY recording process, and also got into what the local music scene means to them. While Vend3tta will not be together anymore,
I think this serves as a nice time capsule, as Nick put it, of what is going on currently in the music scene.
