  • BCN Shred Podcast 84
    Nov 5 2024

    We are pushing this thing out each week to small returns, which is a true shame, considering how all over the map new music travels these days to arrive at ears to hear good songs. We try to go for 5 good songs you should hear each week, but no one apparently cares about listening to anything that isn't smacking them in the face. All good. We carry on. 5 songs/bands you should hear: Jack Kays, Drook, Blackstarkids, Anna Shoemaker and Vundabar are all worthy of your minutes. 17:37 for you to energize your soul.

    It is here: episode 83 of the BCN Shred Podcast, 5 new songs (all by girls this week) for you to stuff into those crusting up ears of yours: Biig Piig, Bishop Briggs, Caroline Kingsbury, St. Vincent and Saya Gray are all super worthy of you hearing.

    This podcast is hosted by 20-year WBCN and 4-year WERS "Niteklub" dj Shred in his down time for you to experience something outside of what you may normally be listening to. Most of you are far too stuffed into your own world though. 18:15 for you to think about good stuff.

    episode 82 of BCN Shred Podcast is upon you, enabling you to hear 5 new bands your ears wouldn't likely fall upon, but you'll be glad they did, as these are some of the best who make music currently and deserve your attention.

We hope you like what you hear and spread the word of Balu Brigade, The Blue Stones, Wilderado, Bizzy and Maud LaTour, all should be heard.
