2018, already, kids. And the first podcast on the year features tunes we humbly can’t stop spinning in this moment. Some of these bands are already hyping pretty strong, others are getting some hum and murmur. Either way, they are great for us, great for right now, and deserve a crank.

Rigamarole, of course, includes that the podcast is available for streaming and download at mixcloud. And read all about, or wander through past episodes, over here.
