This week we've got a fun one for you guys! I not only share the killer EP by Brooklyn-based punk rockers Native Sun—Always Different, Always The Same—but I also share with you guys an interview I did with the bunch in a field at SXSW Austin, TX where we shotgunned beers. It's absolutely chaotic and you know you want to be part of the fun—just like how their music makes you feel!

So, you definitely need to tune-in to this one. (Shout out to Alementary Brewing!)
