SEM 2 ’24: subgenre safari

Mondays 11-12pm with Jack Davis and Vance McDonald

“Every Monday, we bushwhack through the tropical foliage of the RateYourMusic genre trees with a machete forged of tempered pretension to bring the ripest auditory fruit direct and fresh to your earholes- all for your listening pleasure. Each week Vance and Jack cover a different subgenre of alternative music, playing some of the genre’s hits and curating some sleepers too. If you love debates over what constitutes ‘real emo’ or discovering deep cuts of long-defunct bands from obscure regional scenes, this is probably the show for you. Tune in at 11am on Mondays xoxo.”
