The One With Dakota Ave

Exit Stage Left is brought to life this week by the “Hand of the Reaper”! Hosts Daisy Morales and Tony Pina dwell into heavier sounds in this episode as they feature songs from CNVCT, Nekrotek, and Undying Hate, who also just returned from an eleven year hiatus! Engine and Mead Knight both make their Exit Stage Left debuts on this episode, and the featured interview for this week is with Metalcore act Dakota Ave!

They also talk about how Tale of Giants’s music video for the song “Somewhere” earned a letter of recognition from U.S. Congresswoman Veronica Escobar! From folk, to R&B, to death metal, displays the range of music that can be found within the borderland!

This program originally aired on July 17, 2026.
