  • Mars Rocks!

    If you’re a fan of hard rock and metal, this is the show for you. My favorite episodes are the album review shows where Victor and Jeremy discuss the music released in the previous month. I have become a fan of so many new bands because of Signals from Mars. Victor also helps me stay on top of new releases from bands I’m already a fan of. Sure it costs me money buying a lot of new music, but is that a bad thing?
