This week on the Roach Koach Podcast is a bit like an awkward date as the group sits down with Otep and their major label debut, Sevas Tra. Topics discussed: Respectful disagreements, the great P.O.D. debate, the science of nu-metal, the Roach Koach drinking game, nu-metal at the Gathering of the Juggalos, “Is this about shit or cooking?”, The Juggalo Hundo, Terry Date, “That’s so Otep”, Roach Koach HR, slow boys on the road, Hawaiian Blue Punk, high school memories, Jenny names names, “Stay away from me” songs, “breaking the bones of those who pose”, Terry Date’s production, Matt becoming a Shadow Soldier, “Thots”, Jenny on poppers, and of course the decision on whether Otep deserve a spot in the Nu-Metal Canon.
