I'll Take It!

Save the Squonks

Try not to cry, because we wouldn’t want you to dissolve into a pool of your own tears. Besides now being legally allowed to drink, Episode 21 features two female legends whose music and impact spans the better part of the past century. We’ll pay homage to one of the greatest bass players, ever, before jumping into our recurring segment highlighting one album that was released in 1976. But first, we’ll start with a notorious musician’s first concert. A concert that will ultimately influence the future of an entire genre of music – Metal.  Today’s featured band is Killing Connor, and we will chat with their guitarist, Matt, before cranking up the volume on their second-of-three singles: Blood Spilt, Blood Spent. It’s what Connor would have wanted.  Each episode will feature an independent musical artist. Our intention is to uplift the worldwide local music scenes.
