The 110 Podcast

I first learned of Fusion Flow at the Mod Lab open mic in Long Beach. Kevin, the guitarist, jammed with a few of the performers that night; the sign of a true musician, jamming on the spot with anyone and everyone. This week, I’m featuring “Reignite” off their 2021 album, Paradigm Shift. https://open.spotify.com/track/3CPfuDVghlHKupiHlJYRRH?si=aeb07d51bcec485b Artist’s Link...

This week I’m doing my part in trying to showcase more female-fronted bands with the track “I Don’t Know Why” by ska-punk-pop band, East Side Agents. I also overanalyze the lyrics, luckily Jessica sent in an audio clip to set the record straight. https://open.spotify.com/track/5MnMJdXI10aTvR98EM70Xd?si=814546eddd994478 Artist’s Links Instagram Contact Me: Deefur

This week’s tune, “The Chi-Chi Song” by Put on the Batterys, took me back to my younger days of listening to punk music.

Please be sure to check out the rest of their music as well. https://open.spotify.com/track/0VdK2uEvZTrqflbotRcmUX?si=acba3d1b60da47ca Artist&#8...

We’re keeping the international vibes going this week with “The Grunge Blues” by UK-based, four-piece, post-grunge band, Yopo. This one was right up my alley, being the 90’s grunge girl that I am. Lead singer and songwriter, Euan was also kind enough to give us some deep insight into the song, not one to miss. https://open.spotify.com/track/5gkw6itaINidY3qyhPABOr?si=326e64c...

Took me a while, but I finally have a Canadian artist on the show! Hailing from Vancouver, BC by way of Stettler, Alberta, it’s Aaron Hillside’s “Uneasy Pace” off his 2022 album, Homestead.

This one might be cheating, but I’ll make an exception because it’s one of my favorites.
