In this episode, we're joined by Christina and Matt Eskew of The Hellflowers, the explosive LA-based band known for fusing punk, garage, and rock ’n’ roll into a sound that’s both raw and infectious. Formed in 2015, The Hellflowers draw inspiration from legends like Blondie and The Ramones, creating music that pays homage to punk’s roots while carving out a space all their own.

With much of their catalog now available on CD via Rum Bar Records, Christina and Matt reflect on the road so far — and what’s still ahead.

On this episode of the podcast, we are joined by MEGG hot off the heels of performing at Warped Tour Long Beach…

“MEGG brings a bold, fearless sound for the tomboys, loudmouths, romantics, brats, and every misfit in between. With a voice that channels the raw power of Hayley Williams and the swagger of Gwen Stefani, her music oozes early 2000s nostalgia with a fresh, in-your-face twist”.
