You'd think folks might listen to a podcast that 20-year WBCN radio vet Shred does, but you'd be mistaken. Facebook culture cares not. They go about their business, sometimes post little quips, but far too busy with the business that is life to look outside it. All good, we are here to entertain and do so well. We have 5 amazing tunes for you to add to your list this week: Badflower, The Rockyts, Coheed & Cambria, Honestav and Sunday 1994 all have tunes you should pay attention to. 19:23 of rollicking fun listening time.
