We would love to welcome you back to another installment of the Music Crush Monday Podcast!  This week we are back on the A-Side and Kevin is hitting the play button.  Going back to the “golden” days of music and being at that age of discovering who you are, it is fun to listen to the bands and albums that helped shape who you are.   Going back to the rock scene and playing a band that had some quick success and then seemed to fade away just as quickly.  Never a huge main stream band sellin...

Steve is showing a long time favorite of his this week and does not disappoint.  This is a band he decided to do on a whim to pick this band but couldn’t be more prepared.  What will Kevin say this week?  One thing is for sure, the boys agree that this band’s logo has to be near the top of one of the best.  So much so that the...

Hellooooo and welcome back to the Music Crush Monday Podcast!  We do regret to inform you, for the first time ever in the history of this show, we had to scrap an episode!  We had some technical difficulties and could not salvage what we recorded.  Hey, it happens!  So to recover and re-do what we did already, we decided to make this a splitsies episode.  I know, I know, this isn’t the month of November when we usually do our split episodes but consider this a treat to you all.  So in case ...

Hello and welcome BACK!!  We are so excited to bring you yet another fun episode where Steve throws it down again.  You know the drill, it is Monday, we play some music, we talk about the band and their music, and most likely talk about food.   The concept album is always very interesting when you really break down what is going on with the concept of the album.  The amount of time and effort that goes into a concept album should really if anything be appreciated as a fan of music.  Even if...

175. East Coast Rage

April 18, 2022 05:00 - 39 minutes - 57 Bytes

It is Monday and we are flipping that beautiful vinyl record back on the A-Side as Kevin brings us all a band to listen to this week.  Steve gets to sit back, listen, and relax?  Maybe?  Or is he loving this band so much he is just pumped up?  Or is he just hating every second of this band that he can’t wait to get through the episode?  I guess you’ll just have to tune in to find out! For Kevin this week, he chose a band that has been on the list for awhile and knows that Steve knows who th...

We have reached the final day of the 12 days of CRUSHmas and Steve gives us a great one from a classic punk band.  An homage to his brother Jon because he claims there are only 2 good Christmas songs in the world and Kevin happened to already play the other.  We hope you enjoyed these episodes, and we’re sorry we’ve been MIA for so long.  Our hope is to come back in 2022 with some format changes, but we still have a lot of music to show you and want to do that any way we can.  Happy Holidays...
