Thanks for your patience over the past week. I didn't expect COVID to hit me so hard, but I'm back (well, recovering) with one of the delayed episodes -- an interview with Ryan and Suzy of post-punk power trio Softswitch!
We talked about getting back into band mode after a long hiatus, their more stripped-down, heavier new sound, working on an upcoming new EP and much more!
Want more? Softswitch was also on episode #338 back in 2018!
This episode brought to you by our pals at Devine Shirt Company and by the Winterruption festival!
