Vampires, Ghosts, and the Metric System: Pop Rocks Radio - Episode 46

Vampires, Ghosts, and the Metric System: Pop Rocks Radio - Episode 46

Author: Pop Rocks Radio June 11, 2025 Duration: 1:12:31

Buckle up for Pop Rocks Radio Episode 46, where power pop, punk, and indie collide in a glorious mix of unapologetic weirdness. We’re also diving into The Spirit of '76, a film about the beautiful, chaotic, colorful mess that was the 1970s.

Our featured artist this week is Redd Kross – a band as whimsical as it is genre-defying, consistently delivering offbeat, timeless rock that never fails to surprise and delight.

This episode has it all: ghosts, vampires, Pop Rocks (the non-radio one), and the metric system—because why not?

This isn't a lecture from a critic; it's a shared passion project from someone who genuinely loves digging through crates and hitting play. The host's personal collection fuels every episode, celebrating the crunchy guitars of power pop, the raw energy of punk, the lo-fi charm of garage, and the spirit of indie.
