RADIO BROADCAST #412
02-19–17

Fanatic! Another great show lined up for you. I can’t be sure where you’re listening to the show from so I don’t know what the weather is like where you are. Around these parts (Los Angeles) it’s quite warm to the point of feeling like spring. Some of our selections are skewed toward the slightly increased temperatures of the last few days. It sure doesn’t feel like February around here.

We have new Spectres music. Thanks to Joe Spectres for sending us the new Condition album. I am not sure when that one comes out but I will get that information. Until then, we will get more tracks from it to you over the next several weeks.

Worth checking out is a new band that makes its appearance at the beginning of our second hour. They are called Crystal Fairy. Very happy to be able to start playing tracks from this one. You can pre-order from their Bandcamp page. When you do, you get three songs from the album. I figured those would be safe to play, so tonight, we start in with this album that we will probably play all the tracks from. It’s that good. Omar from At the Drive-In, Dale and Buzzo from The Melvins and Teri Gender Bender of Le Butcherettes. That’s the band. It is a great record.

We hope you dig the show.

Keep listening and STAY FANATIC!!!
