Your host Fish will play an array of selected tracks spanning multiple punk/hardcore/indie rock subgenres across numerous decades, plus some locals! Throughout the show are fun facts about the musicians, news about bands coming to town or news about new releases coming out, or just about whatever else I can think of. Sometimes I’ll even get a special guest to interview about their music-related career, whether it be as a musician or a photographer.
