In The Groove: New music from John Beltran, Jordan Rakei, plus a big gulp of Irish bands for St. Patrick’s Day
A celebration of St. Patrick’s Day with a heavy dose of Irish bands (both well known and not), including selections from their wonderfully crunchy grunge/punk scene leaders like SPRINTS, NewDad and one of the biggest bands out of Ireland right now Fontaines D.C., plus the old heads like Thin Lizzy, Cranberries, Pogues, Frames and more.
On top of all that, new music from Jordan Rakei, Orions Belte, Knats and Detroit’s own John Beltran. A wonderfully diverse mixtape!
