Episode 177
This week, Aaron picks out music from a Kitchener, Ontario, twin sister group while Brent highlights a Chicago-based band co-founded by Louise Post and Nina Gordon.
Born from the ashes of their previous group, Courage My Love, during the summer of 2020, Aaron picks three tracks from the Arn-Horn sisters in Softcult.
Taking their name from the spoiled rotten rich girl from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Brent picks three songs from Veruca Salt.
