Episode 239: The Flat Five - It's A World Of Love And Hope
•
We thought the fighting was done. We thought the battles had been won. Amazon Music had other plans. The streaming wars, continue they must.
Hailing from the mighty Midwest, The Flat Five, the grooviest "supergroup" known to mankind, has arrived just in time with their debut LP, It's A World Of Love And Hope. After years of performing as a holiday one off, members Kelly Hogan, Nora O’Connor, Scott Ligon, Casey McDonough, and Alex Hall have captured their magic on wax and are taking the show on the road? Is it groovy, or the GROOVIEST? Tune in to find out.
PLUS! NYC's Hannah vs The Many makes powerful, theatrical rock and roll, and on their latest release, Cinemascope, they're turning it all up to eleven. Check out the first single "Surrender Dorothy" and get hooked.
