After an extended period of time on my own, I enjoyed welcoming guests back into the studio this week. It was great to be joined by Phil, Ad and Col from local rock band Herida who recently 
released their debut album ‘Ghost of the Sun’, produced by none other that Dave from Creative Music Studios. I’ve been enjoying it a lot since I first heard it and on tonight’s show we heard a few songs along with interesting background information on the creative process and stories behind them, including how they evolved and why one was named after Dave’s red chair for a while!
We also had the kind of great conversation that I enjoy, flowing from the origins of how they formed, how they came up with the name Herida and even the benefits of letting go and not hanging onto the past. We talked about their musical influences and I also invited them to discuss and share some of the music that inspired them. This led to a conversation about Les Claypool from Primus then onto Robert Trujillo who’s now in Metallica which led to the playing of ‘Frantic’ from the ‘St. Anger’ album.
