Seas. 4 - Ep. 11 - Fat Heaven Are The Champions of Failure, But They Keep Rocking on with Trash Life

Author: Powered By Rock May 15, 2023 Duration: 53:54

Hello and welcome to the Powered By Rock podcast where I am going to be speaking with the New York punk band Fat Heaven today. 

Fat Heaven has just released their third full-length album called Trash Life, and it has some absolute bangers on the album including their first single from the album “Quarter Life Crisis,” and my personal favorite track from the album, “Miracle.”

The music, much like the band seems destined not to take itself too seriously and create fun, anthemic punk rock music with a New York state of mind.

Intro Music: "Colorado" by Birds Love Filters

Outro Music: "Snail Mail" by Speedway Sleeper
