About this episode
Episode 45 is live and packed with bubblegum grit, garage snarl, and power pop perfection with new tracks from The Grogans, Davey Lane, The Minus 5, and more. And, of course, no episode would be complete without a song from my favorite band, 20/20.
Our featured artist is the one and only Nikki Corvette, whose sugar-rush punk still echoes through speakers 45 years later. And our movie this week is the cult chaos of Desperate Teenage Lovedolls — a punk rock cautionary tale with a body count.
