    Episode Nineteen "The Lawnmower Hour"

    Im joined in the studio on this moist night by my good friends Mike, Patty, and Kyle AKA LAWNMOWER. This local punk band has quickly picked up steam in the 40831 by throwing down fast and ready skate punk sound defined by its tongue in cheek, sometimes TOO real lyricism and underground "noise" Rock influence. They hung out in studio where we played a few tracks off their brand new album BVZZKILL, and delve into some of the tracks that influenced and inspired the band today,. See Lawnmower later this month, January 24th at High Voltage, San Jose!love--D
