  • Love the passion from these young dudes

    Really enjoyed the No Code episode.. just think you should include clips of songs if you’re gonna do an album review.. didn’t want that to affect the star rating I give you though.. really appreciate the fact that you guys are so into grunge and most of the music came out before you were born!

  • In the beginning.. there was grunge

    These dudes love grunge. If you love grunge, you will love these dudes. They manage to always keep it fresh which is impressive considering grunge ended last century. Truly takes not only a love of music, but a deep appreciation of artistry. Chris, Ethan, you rock 🤘🏼(also shout out a fellow Rhody!)
