Hallo peeps!!

Today on the podcast I’ve got Nicolle Swims, lead singer/guitarist of Seattle “gunk-pop” band Black Ends. We go deep into their new EP, Stay Evil, with some welcome tangents into Frank Zappa, cool album art, and Swims’ recent performance at the now-dismantled CHOP.

Go listen to Stay Evil here!

Here’s footage of Swims’ show at the CHOP:

One of the highlights of my weekend was catching a solo performance by Nicolle Swims of @EndsBlack in the CHOP zone. ✨ pic.twitter.com/tKRSonyayW— Emily Pothast (@emilypothast) June 16, 2020
