In our latest Band on Band we feature two unique acts who have made a musical career (non-paying career) out of doing things their own way. Mischief Brew and Guignol continue to make their own rules releasing a collaborative full length, Fight Dirty on Erik Peterson of Mischief Brew’s own Fistolo Records earlier this year. The two acts took some time out of endless musical projects and day jobs to discuss Iron Maiden, aging in punk rock and world travel.
