Episode 116
Aaron highlights music from an ever-evolving Christian hard rock band from Los Angeles while Brent spotlights a Philadelphia band who credit both Gene Simmons and Jon Bon Jovi as early supporters.
Getting their start with a unique look in the 80s before a line-up switch moved the band in a different direction, Aaron features three songs from the Jamie Rowe-era of Guardian.
Taking their name from a film title, but not the one from Disney, Brent looks at three songs from the Tom Keifer led band Cinderella.
