  • #307 Sonny's Hot Load (of missed radness) and Boundaries

    This week on the show Sonny has a bag of missed radness to empart upon us all that is VERY strong - but before that we must observe the release of Yearning: The Unbeautiful After by one of our favourite bands as a podcast... Boundaries

    does it hold up? Have they sold out? Is the production actually THAT bad? ALL is discussed

    we also enjoy No Cure whilst drinking a beer which feels a bit naughty to be honest but what are  you gonna do?

    then Sonny's missed radness comes from Verdun, Yersin, Chaosphere, Skinsewnshut and Hot Load

    then the WHEEL OF RIFFS gifted us a delight in the form of Messy, Isn't It? from the cult heroes Dangers, another FANTASTIC spin from the wheel

    if you wanna discuss anything we talked about on the show or submit your WHEEL OF RIFFS recommendation then come on down and join us in the Discord, the funnest place on the internet to worship the riff
