Podcast #265: Resolution

It's a new year and we're going back to the old format.  What cha think?  With the pandemic still here, we're just tired of talking about..well for the most part.  Join the boys as they get back on track, for the new year, by discussing what music they are looking forward to in 2021.  Will it be better than 2020?  Well the jury is still out on that one, but Rag's is a bit skeptical.  The boys also go over Revolver's top anticipated records of 2021.  Unfortunately, the boys weren't in full agreement, if you know what I'm saying?  So grab a beer or your cocktail of choice and be prepared to be mesmerized.
