   EP 31: The Swap Frontline Jewels | MORE THAN METAL

   Mutual respect for this Swap. Bailey hands John a classic from his early fandom days with Frontline Assembly's 1992 classic, Tactical Neural Implant. John digs into his time living in Los Angeles with 2011's album from Jewels of the Nile, Pleasure. The Swap is where Bailey and John give each other an album they've never heard to listen to. They then share a conversation about their thoughts on the respective music composition.
