S01E08 - CBGB or: how I learned to stop worrying and love my hipster t-shirt

In the Season 1 finale, the guys delve into the craziness of New York’s CBGB club and the American punk scene as a response to some of the bloated, self-important rock of the 1970’s. A big thanks to all of our subscribers for their support - keep spreading the word! Season 2 will start in a just a couple months.
