What Is Why You Do This About?

The premise of Why You Do This without spoilers.

A personal documentary follows satellite engineer and Car Bomb vocalist Michael Dafferner as he chronicles three years and three tours, interviewing the bands he shares stages with. Balancing a nine‑to‑five job against a desire for full‑time musicianship, he probes why he chose an obscure math‑core genre and what drives other groups. As he tours with increasingly successful acts, he discovers deeper definitions of success and the risks artists take, featuring interviews with Lamb of God, Gojira, Richard Christy and many others.
