#373 Today's Boondoggle- Making a mark in Carbonstone with Corey James.

**🎵 Did Korn & The Stones Inspire Carbonstone’s Dark Matter? 🤘**

Get ready for another epic episode of *Today’s Boondoggle*! Bill sits down with Corey James, lead singer of Carbonstone, to dive deep into the wild ride behind the band’s journey. From a drunken slur that became their unforgettable band name, to Corey’s childhood as a military brat traveling across the country, this episode is packed with laughs, stories, and inspiration.

Corey shares how bands like Korn and The Rolling Stones fueled his passion for music, and how friendships with artists like Johnny Santos of Spineshank shaped his path. We dig into the powerful meaning behind *Absence of Self*, the creation of their standout album *Dark Matter*, and the grind that built their streaming success. Plus, hear about their upcoming tour, a memorable performance at Inkcarceration Festival, and why stepping away from music for a while was the best decision for their comeback.

This episode is raw, real, and loaded with behind-the-scenes stories every music fan needs to hear!
