Offering You Some Russian Rage

Yeah, I am sure that is a credo of your hosts’ friendship, but that’s not what we’re talking about here. Spoiler alert – it relates to the music. Shocking, I know. You can probably guess what it is specifically referring to, but to be sure you should just listen to the episode. So, get on with it.

Last week’s show had some new faces…this week does not. We have covered all these bands at least once before, and we even interviewed one of them (John Cobbett of Hammers)! So how do these new ones stack up against previous efforts? Presumably you are here to find out, so you should know what to do.
