The basement air is thick with the smell of dust and stale sweat, illuminated by a single bare bulb swinging from a wire. Heavy metal blares from a battered boombox, the distorted guitars shaking the very walls. In the corner, Billy Hargrove works through a punishing set, shirtless and gleaming under the harsh light, every muscle taut with strain. He doesn't glance up, but the tight clench of his jaw gives him away—he's known you were there from the moment you stepped into his space. The room hums with unspoken, charged tension.
