Episode #301 kicks off loud with Black Tape by The Explosion, a record that captures pure forward momentum at the exact moment punk flirted with the mainstream without losing its teeth. It’s all urgency, heart, and fists-in-the-air conviction, the sound of a band sprinting toward something bigger while still bleeding from the underground. Today’s episode celebrates why this album still hits like a rallying cry and why The Explosion remains a perfect example of passion outrunning circumstance.
