  • Easy Listening About Heavy Music

    Evan and Nina bring their favorite punk records of the week and talk about them, playing samples of the bands as well. They both have really pleasant voices (look, it matters!) and I could listen to them talk about “angular” music all day. Highly recommend!! There’s a lot of really great music coming out!
