About this listen

Confusing band names, the MTV aura, and what happens if the comedy/tragedy masks and a keyboard mate: it's the 4th episode of our Best New Artist season, which brings us great winners, indefensible losers, and tracks that are more branding exercise than song.

Intro and outro by Andrew Byrne; for more information/to become a patron of the show, visit patreon.com/mastas.
