About this listen

Two mics, a few drinks and more brutal honest opinions than you can probably handle...Co-hosts, Frank Carbone (Recording Artist & DJ) and Arya Valanejad (Video Mastermind) crack open some cold ones and tear into the world of music—one track at a time. From iconic anthems to WTF flops, nothing’s off-limits. Unfiltered takes, savage humor, and wild opinions you won’t hear anywhere else. Is it a bop… or complete trash? Either way, we’re talking about it. Let's go!
