Welcome back to First Listen Media and today we have something a bit different for you all. On this episode my co-host and I sat down with another podcast/entertainment group who was the guest on our monthly radio broadcast.

Welcome back to your weekly dose from the music underground here on First Listen Media, today our guests are the punk rock band Waiver Wire! This band has so much to offer with their music and the joy of life fills your lungs with every song they have released. Go check them out for memorable and mind-blowing music that will take you back to the good old days of warped tour and the days back in high school when we blasted punk like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Their EP titled " Hold Your Applause" is a prime example of the potential and influence punk rock has, everything from it's cover art to the songs makes your mind travel back in time to those beautiful days where punk rock was thriving and the world felt so alive. Bands like these bring tears of joy to my eyes and warmth to my heart because they remind me that  this genre will never die.

Welcome back to another episode of First Listen Media. Today our guests are two members of the band from Florida known as Glass House Point.

Welcome back to another episode of First Listen Media. Today's guest is a member of the 5 piece contemporary Southern Rock band hailing from Nashville, Tennessee known as Stone Senate! This was a fun and new experience for me since I never worked with a band in the Southern Rock genre before. Speaking with him about his band, music and more was like talking to an old friend. The places they have been and the fact that they are always touring and on the road to me is incredible and it shows their determination as a touring band. I hope to see them live one day and jam out at one of their shows.  Check out their music here: Spotify  https://open.spotify.com/artist/66wQHyrLygLZxnWgkm9Ph8?si=NQ990VkRQQOxmQ1G8yWgBwYoutube music https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCxe90sXOCWYo5R6Ij7vfpMw?feature=shareYoutube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxe90sXOCWYo5R6Ij7vfpMw

The potential and motivation Left to Suffer has is limitless, I can't wait to see what they do next!
