Tony, Louie and Jim of Vortis return to Car Con Carne to talk about their excellent new garage/punk record (in mono!), “The Miasmic Years.”   Covered in this episode: *The accuracy of the new album title. *The mind-blowing inspiration for their song “COVID Blues.” *Being a politically-charged band in the 20s: How do you reach beyond the ‘converted?’ *Challenges of being a DIY band today, as opposed to when Vortis started many years ago. *Where do the lyrics come from? *Why “The Miasmic Years” is the best music deal for consumers, by far (seriously).   The men of Vortis are smart, funny and have a lot to say. I hope you enjoy the chat, and check out “The Miasmic Years!”   __   Car Con Carne is sponsored by Ninety Days in the 90s: A Rock N Roll Time Travel Story.
