Whenever you hear the word "grunge" one band in particular comes to mind... Nirvana I think it is safe to say that their album "Nevermind" can be considered legendary. It would have been even if Kurt Cobain didn't tragically take his own life. This album is FILLED with hit singles and sometimes unexplained messages. But this album did shape music for years to come. Stop on by! Let's talk about Nirvana!

Purity Ring is the perfect example of finding beauty in sadness. This album may have some heavy feels to it, but it doesn't take away from the album itself.

Pandas... cute, precious, will probably eat you... But Panda Bear? Actually, yeah probably the same thing here. This album is beautiful but mysterious.

Come with us as our good friend, Ben Slowey joins us to discuss this fantastic album.
To wrap up our Black History Month Series, we take a look at Lupe Fiasco's The Cool. Milwaukee Rapper, Genesis Renji fell in love with this album when it first came out.

Would Punk be what it is today!? It's fun to think about.... Come with us as we explore the band Death!
