WRITE A REVIEW AND WIN A SHIRT! In support of indie bands while they can’t tour Jerry and I are buying merch and you should too! But if you can’t afford the swag but still wanna help we got you. Write a review and we may buy one for you! We will buy a shirt for one reviewer from one of these great bands below. Just write a review in apple podcasts and tell us which shirt you can't live without and we will pick one listener to get a band tee! This week it's the ma-ma-ma-ma-my Coronavirus episode! We’re all grounded for the foreseeable future which means all these small indie bands we love can't tour and perform. So we're talking swag, talking merch, talking the good shit: 100% cotton or the hipster tri-blend, long sleeve, shirt sleeve, hoodies and dad hats. Take your pick!
