Note: Due to an error with the archiving on our end at the station, this week's show was not archived and the recording is lost, which is a shame because I thought this week's show went quite well. In summary, new artists and tunes were played, also I'm in the UK next week and so the shows will be prerecorded for some time. I'm still posting the playlist here so you can find the bands, but the audio is gone, sorry. To make up for it, here's my interview with Arkells from last week. This week's show was rockier and heavier; as a massive rocker in my teens, I don't mind that! New releases, recapping notable Kingston shows of the week as we lead into a week of Halloween shows.
