Episode 109
This week, Aaron looks at a band that formed in Cambridge back in 2008 and Brent highlights a group that got their start on the Minneapolis indie scene alongside bands like Hüsker Dü and The Replacements.
Opting to continue on after the departure of original vocalist David Jakes in 2018, Aaron spotlights three songs from the band Lonely The Brave.
With five albums to their credit before “Runaway Train” made them an overnight success, Brent looks at three songs from Dave Pirner and Soul Asylum.
