"May 06, 2011 - Episode 18 is streaming here. Download the episode here. This episode has a fantastic line up on it. Opening the show is a band from Southern California called Blighted. Really great sounding band, they have an LP available here and also on bandcamp. They also have a show coming up on May 31 in Sanger, California. Check out their facebook or the Shows section for details. Also on the episode is Kill the Masses from Las Vegas, Nevada, who are now going by the name Aechoes. They too have a show coming up, on May 28. Check out the Shows section for more details. The band is currently working on new material. On a lot of the episodes, I tend to close with a clip from the song, Bones, by No History of Violence. This is a band that I used to play with in La Grande, Oregon. Some really great times with these guys. We played tons of shows in La Grande with some pretty cool bands, both local and out of town. Some of those bands include Sub*Vert, Sprockets, Sally Mae, Mike Got Spiked, Morello and The Sharktopus. I'm also very happy to be able to share a track from these guys, Vultures United. Really fantastic stuff, upbeat, and worth checking out. They come from Orange County, California. Hope to catch one of their shows sometime soon. And lastly, from Arizona, The Beautiful Ones. Great stuff from an up and coming band. They have a new demo out on cassette right now and digitally. Get their new demo for free on their bandcamp. Please enjoy the music on this episode. Support your local scene because without you, there is no scene. Once again, thank you for listening."
