1 week later, here it is again: episode 52 of the former 20-year WBCN dj Shred-induced radio style on the Broken Cassette Player podcast. We have 5 "new" bands for you to hear, including stylings coming from Aldrch, BBY, CARR, The Staves and Bleachers. 

No one is really listening to us, and as the folks who are not, have way more important things to do, can't be bothered to listen to new music in my day and are just too wrapped up in their world. We wish them well. Thank you for listening. 17 minutes, 32 seconds.
