Hedonism is a fairly new punk/metal band in the Reno scene that isn’t afraid to scream and throw down some heavy riffs. The band has performed at the Holland Project and at several backyard shows, and has released a few demos on Soundcloud to share their sound. For headbang metal, check out “Life,” and for moshpit punk, check out “Fuck Your Ideology.” Quinn Frenzel is the lead guitarist of Hedonism, and he is the latest to take The Lucky 13; here are his brief and to-the-point answers.
