Blondie and MUNA

Episode 127

Aaron and Brent highlight music from a Los Angeles trio that just released their third studio album in June and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group that rose to fame in New York City in the late 70s.

Formed in 2013 while students at the University of Southern California, Aaron looks at three songs from the band MUNA.

Getting their name from comments made by truck drivers who catcalled lead singer Debbie Harry, Brent spotlights three songs from Blondie.
