Black Country, New Road [Performance & Interview Only]
On the show this time, it’s the fresh original rock of English band Black Country, New Road.

And that’s kind of selling them short. They play music. Anything is on the table. Their latest is called Forever Howlong and it is available on Ninja Tune Records.
