Today we begin by rocking out to the new tunes from Barrence Whitfield and Low Cut Connie. There’s a new band Stereo Burlesque featuring Frank Vazzano (of Cobra Verde) and Dave Cintron (both of Downside Special). Jay Gonzalez joined forces with Pete Smith in a new band called Gonzalez Smith. Mitski is also back with another new album. We introduce new names too: Stars Like Ours and Hi-End from Boston, Radio Field from Dusseldorf, Germany and Lunar Laugh from Oklahoma. At the end of the show, we pay a tribute to Gethway brothers from Monstrous. Alex passed away recently and Ken back in 2010.

Today’s show is filled with some very interesting come backs. Ed fROMOHIO Crawford, who used to be in fIREHOSE, has a new album out with his new band FOOD, which also includes Eric Vermillion (ex Gumball) on bass. The new record is an ep called Four Pieces Form Candyland. 80s roots rockers Del Fuegos are also back with an ep called Silver Star. Going deeper in the past for the old masters, we have Dr. John returning to his voodoo psychedelic roots with the help of Dan Auerbach. And the Texas troubadour Ray Wylie Hubbard is also back with a great new record called Grifter’s Hymnal, sounding incredibly fresh. We also have the new record for the Drive-By Truckers keyboardist Jay Gonzalez called Mess of Happiness, which offers a very sober take on power pop, compared to alcohol drenched Americana of his native band. Today we also represent the latest studio record for the French band Magnetix called Droque Electrique. We had their live recording in our previous show. This time in our segment called Live in Cleveland we have Cleveland’s own New Salem Witch Hunters.
