And so, March ended, and we’re officially at one year of lockdown. I have to say, the only thing that really changed for me is that I’m not as horribly sick as I was. The shut-in lifestyle has suited me well, mostly because I’ve always been one.

Plus it’s been great for me articulating my sound system!

Anyway, check out the playlist, or if you really wanna have a good time, check out the podcast instead. It ramps up hard, and we even start in a warmer-weather kinda way! Go us!

Playlist:
Another Day – Powder for Pigeons
Alligator – Reignwolf
Earth & Ether – Kitchen Witch
Scorpion Time – Maggot Heart
The Lion and The Keeper – Motion Device
Wovoka – Cellar Twins
Keep It Refreshing – We Hunt Buffalo

Posted on 2021-03-19 by Matt Nightingale Posted in Run For Your Life!

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks
Yet another week down, and we’re tearing through March. More music for you all to enjoy, and we scale up fast just like we have been. Will we ever slow down? Probably not. Will I ever stop answering my own questions? Also no.

Definitely give these bands a follow! I didn’t hyperlink them for nothin’! Also most of them exist on Bandcamp and similar platforms that also don’t sponsor me just like Bandcamp doesn’t.

Playlist:
Ghost – Rezurex
Welcome To The World – Gygax
Death Club – Deaf Radio
No Way Out – Nightingale – Music & Videos
World Gone Colder – SOTO Official
The Wire / Dawn To Dusk – Kilmore
Selfear – Cellar Twins
The Frontal Lobe – Kitchen Witch
Warped – Motion Device
Bystander – Sumo Cyco
Spread Your Fire – From The Depth
Soulbound – Unleash The Archers
