Formed from the music they were raised on with a twist of modern rhythm, The Band Laredo are in the infant stages, but its members are far from rookies.  Join us as we discuss the current climate of music, what coffee is really all about, favorite drummers, and how to brew the perfect cup of tea.  They share four tunes with us, including the new single and two unreleased tracks.  I am a fan and firm believer that The Band Laredo is on the right track. Agatha makes a bunch of racket and I cough.  It's fun damnit!

I can honestly say this was by far the most fun I have had doing one of these podcasts.  I sat down with Matt, James, Steven and Johnny to discuss/ramble about:  Double decker bus rides during a blizzard, first pet names, peace during the pandemic as well as influences.  Oh, they played  the new single along with a few others.  This one is a can't miss friends!
