Hard Rock Exploded in the '80s in a way no label executive could have imagined. It was dirty, decadent and completely DIY. We recently spoke with Richard Bienstock and Tom Beaujour, authors of the NY Times Bestseller, Nothin' But A Good Time: The Uncensored History of The 80s Hard Rock Explosion.

The book is exceptional and our conversation with Tom and Richard even better. Rock and Roll changed in the '80s because of the Sunset Strip and The Northeast Corridor from North Jersey to Philadelphia and Maryland. We both recommend this book, as it is honest, candid and real. The stories are told from so many perspectives of people that were fundamental to their scene.

Listen to this cool episode, and then get caught up here!!!
