Episode #44

Hello Hello Hello! It's been too long since I've done a show with new music. Summer is a busy touring time and many awesome bands are going through town, so I can't miss an opportunity to talk to those amazing artists. By the way, I do a pretty good job updating the list of upcoming shows in Vancouver, on my blog - http://rocketfromrussia.tumblr.com First block features new tracks by Dan Vapid And The Cheats (Chicago, IL, USA), FIDLAR (LA, CA, USA), Galactic Cannibal (Milwaukee + Chicago, USA), Lyapis Trubetskoi (Minsk, Belarus), Jerk Store (Vancouver, BC, Canda), Lipstick Homicide (Coralville, IA, USA) and The Steve Adamyk Band (Ottawa, ON, Canada). By the way, new album "Two" by Dan Vapid and The Cheats is amazing, one of the best records I've heard this year! Don't miss their show in Vancouver this weekend. The second block starts with a killer song "Forever Summer" by legendary Adolescents...WHAT A SONG!!!
