Sock Rockin’ Beats Ep 14
Posted on 2019/05/19 by Balcony Radio

When somebody says “It’s time to rock” there should be the distinct understanding that walls will crumbled, faces will melt and the surrounding environment will become filled with screams. For episode 14 of Sock Rockin’ Beats we throw down the gauntlet and play music that will destroy the house, shatter eardrums and cause serious mayhem with the neighbors. It’s a 2-hour bludgeoning of the senses. The only resolution is to rock out completely. Keep an ambulance on standby outside.
