    <description>The Smashing Skull Sessions is a podcast, interview and review website, set up to showcase and support the underground rock and metal scenes. Our goal is to promote artists and bands from right across the globe, giving them another voice and another forum in which to get their music out to a greater audience. 
The podcast is hosted by me, Letty Sharp, and I hope to offer my guests a different style of interview which is relaxed, unscripted and fun!, The show is entertaining, informative and well worth a listen!
However, none of this is possible without the support of you music lovers. We are eternally grateful to every person who subscribes, shares, likes and listens to the shows and reads the reviews. To the bands, be sure to hit us up and let us help in promoting your art, whether through interview or review. Thanks to you all!

  <description>This week on The Smashing Skull Sessions podcast, I am proud to welcome RANGES.
Hailing from Bozeman, Montana, RANGES have been a beacon of light for the Post Rock genre for nearly a decade. The vast and rugged landscape of Montana has clearly defined and shaped their sound, with their mix of powerful, transcendent post-rock blended beautifully with serene and subdued ambient soundscapes.

One of the hardest working bands in the business, RANGES are a hugely respected and adored group of artists within the post music scene, so I'm sure this will be of interest to a lot of you out there!. The interview is available on YouTube and all good streaming platforms, so go check it out!!
