## Resource

From the ashes of The High Crusade comes GRPPLNG, the musical brain child of Motor City Machine Guns Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, Chris Plumb, Adam Cline, and Adam Tatro. GRPPLNG's debut EP, "H's All Around," comes out May 18th and features four new original songs about heartache, happenstance, hubris, and hope. On today's episode, Chris Plumb and I talk all about the new record, the themes behind the music, and how time apart made the GRPPLNG guys come back together. We also discuss playing in a band with the Motor City Machine Guns and the expectations that can often be built around their name, but in a different creative outlet. We also talk all about the creative process, how their lyrical content evolved over time as they grew up, how Chris eventually ended up being turned onto wrestling after despising it as a child, and what's on the playlist of GRPPLNG's Chris Plumb.
