Another part of the Pablo Generation. Fantastic musical chemistry in this one and their friendship beyond the confines of a practice room or a stage is something to admire. I like Tom Angst a lot, and I think you will too.

Note: This is episode 5, not episode 4, but I apparently could not remember that at the time of recording. Sometimes I have the dumb.
Second to None is an active rock/modern rock band here in the upstate. Their kindred spirits drive their connection as a band; and their collective sense of humor as a group of dudes kickin' back with some drinks. This episode is not kid-friendly.
