ON THIS WEEK'S EPISODE:

For our very first podcast we have an assortment of styles from local bands who are fast becoming local legends.

First is a track by emo favourites Denuo called Infidelity - a lackadaisically performed kicker that boasts beautiful guitar work and huge hummability factor.

Second is an acoustic offering by KevCeeJay called Hard To Swallow. For the drifty, chilled out track of the podcast, this is it.

Following that is The Upstarts with their bouncy track Water & Wine, followed by prog rockers BITE with their solo-riddled funk-fest Ride Clean, Safe, And All Of The Above.
