  • 100. ILL WAY (with Jaydn Swailes!)
    Holy shit, we made it. To celebrate one hundred episodes of talking about other people's music, we decided to shine the harsh spotlight of semi-anonymous internet criticism back on ourselves... it's finally time to revisit PR & Chase's high school band, ILL WAY. Who better to join the boys than the lead singer himself, Jaydn Swailes! It's a BANGER. Thanks for hanging with us for one hundred and remember... keep on spinning.

  • 99. Zap Tura
    COSMIC VIBES INBOUND. PR & Chase are chatting about the new single, "Echospace," from the Des Moines-based experimental alt rock artist, Zap Tura. This one is a blistering, spacey creation that sends the boys through a portal and back to the time of the Wonder Ball and pre-MCU/SW John Favreau. Rad!
