Where’s the Life that You Promised?

Episode 24: The last six months have been busy. I’ve been on the run from zombies. I managed to find a double-barreled shotguns and ammo cache and have holed up in a building with an active wifi connection and microphone long enough to post a new episode.

Here’s the new music: starting with a track from Japanese rockers HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR, followed by Swedish post-hardcore band Blindside, a band from Illinois called The Graduate, Finnish symphonic power metal band Nightwish, Minnesotan punk outfit Motion City Soundtrack, and closing things off is a band from Ohio called Relient K.
