The Ragman Show - Podcast-098

I'm not trying to confuse you.  I didn't skip a show.  97 will be coming your way next week.  I wanted to get this show up as soon as I could, so everyone can get a taste of the new Shape of Water record Petrichor.  Before we get to Rox and Luca from Shape of Water, Ragman talks about bands that are better in the studio than live.  He also tackles the question of what you do, at a show, when the person in front of you is dropping wolf bait.  Next Ragman sits down with Rox and Luca to talk about Shape of Water's new album Petrichor.  The boys give an in depth look into the new album.  From the music to the lyrics, it's all covered.  They also talk about their upcoming tour plans as well as the thoughts behind many of their msuic videos.  All of this and much more on this episode.  So grab a beer, buckle in and get those horns uo..
