1: How did you decide on the name, “Culture Shock"?Travis: We were brainstorming names and it just came to me randomly, like a shock you could say. It has a flow and I think it fits for what we're trying to do. Culture Shock is the state of panic a foreigner might face in a different country. I can't remember but I had some kind of interest in it for a while.Ben: Yeah I think one day were jamming and Travis just said "How about we name ourselves Culture Shock! We didn't hesitate and changed our profile info immediately

Featuring future members of Mother May I, The Wolves much like MMI are fantastic bands that have made great music.

I discovered Weathers after I heard “I Don’t Wanna Know” a few years ago. I put that song on my playlist, “The Zone, Vol. 1: More Than A Retronaut” , and when I was going through it, I found it when I was rearranging the order of the songs on my playlist.

The latest album by Palaye Royale is fantastic.

Slender Pins are a London based dance punk band who write songs about medieval plagues,  wicked landlords and millennial metropolitan life. Alongside an obsessive appetite for melodic and rhythmic hooks, main songwriters, vocalist, Ash and, guitarist, Alex hold on to one fundamental principle when creating music with, bassist, Rob and, drummer, Ed - does it soothe both mind and body, in equal measure?

Stone Nobles are a hard rock quartet from Providence, Rhode Island. They formed in 2019, featuring Ross Reign, Lancer Steele, Davy Charr, and Brody Silver.

I discovered The Clocks at Gallery Of Sound. I found their album the same day as I found Balance's debut album. I recall not buying them because I wasn't sure what genre they would be, but I stopped doing leaving an album if I was unsure of the genre. I started to ask myself why certain albums got my attention and I started buying these albums because I wanted to listen to these bands.
