Welcome to our first episode of February! Looks like we’re getting six more weeks of winter, so grab a good stout, or a lovely aged rum, and let’s get our dance on inside while we wait to thaw out. On tonight’s episode we listen to a track from the brand new compilation from Stubborn Records, Still Stubborn: Volume 1 (available now on Bandcamp) which kicks off the label’s thirtieth anniversary! Be on the look out for more volumes in 2022. We also listen to another digital-only single from Tyrone Turtle and the Steady Rockers.
