  • Episode 22 (part 1): New Music

    This is part one of episode 22. The reason you’re not getting the whole episode right now is because of a special announcement.

    For now we’ve got a ton of new music! Songs from Russian Blue, Depose, Denial Of Life, Me Grimlock, A-R0n Gubbe, What It Meant, Pregnant Dad, Life Rips, Ragana & Drowse, RC Cars On Mars, Manta, and Grrrizzly.

    The featured song at the end is Mother Goose by Kapslok.

    Come out to Slice Of Life Pizza in Tacoma on October 18th to see some sick bands and help raise money for Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network.
