In traditional Brutality Podcast fashion, we go through Dani's musical journey & all of the Extra Large Kids/Design The Skyline lore, including the Surrounded By Silence music video, signing with Victory Records & the hate that came with it all. We chat about the bands musical direction over the years, the comeback single "Beckoning" as well as the future of the band.
