We’ve been kicking this idea around for a while now, and like most of our ideas it’s a simple one: collect some of our favourite No Big Hair (read: unsigned or small label)-level artists into an hour-long podcast, making it easier for our readers to be introduced to all of this great and generally undiscovered music. As always, many thanks to all the artists and, where applicable, labels who made this possible by sending us their music in the first place. If you hear some of these songs and flip out, please support ‘em. Trust us, they need it.
