The Counterforce with Aug Stone

EPISODE 68 - REPLACED BY ROBOTS

A pleasure to chat with Goolkasian, Heather Morgan, & Adam Wade about the first Replaced By Robots mini-album. A psychobilly/surf-rock cheerleader freak-out heralds three killer new wave tunes. Plus Goolkasian tells a good Cars-related Elevator Drops story. And much more...
