Not the episode we planned on, and we apologize if it's not the one you deserve. But we think it's great! ERIC (@rickpreen on Instagram) from soon-to-debut band JAKE RAZOR & HIS ECLECTIC BLEND (and many previous Rochester bands) joins us along with surprise returning guest CONNER (@exhilirating_excess on Instagram). Conner previously lobbed some hot takes during our MARCH MAYHEM: PUSHEAD's TOP 100 series. Tyler discussed the recent HATRED SURGE/IRON LUNG/SCAPEGOAT gig he attended in NYC, which lead to some classic Western NY-centric regionalism chat. In the second half we tackle a topic we've never broached before: religion. This episode blends the raucous and the profound without a lot of music discussion involved. If you're a fan of KOPPOD then we assume you expect that from time to time. We will talk about punk rock a lot more next week.
