Author: Powered By Rock May 8, 2023 Duration: 1:31:33

Hello and welcome to the Powered By Rock Podcast!

I am excited because today, we have TWO incredible guests on our show as part of our Indie Spotlight series which will be a recurring feature at The Powered By Rock Podcast.

First up, I will be speaking to the Las Vegas based rock band Elephante King about their music, their live performances and some other interesting questions.

You will also get to hear a song from them before the end of our segment.

After that, I will be speaking with Denmark’s own Karina Selvig who is a writer for Dying Scene, Rockfreaks.net, and New Noise Magazine as well as recently becoming a co-host over at Punk Rock Radar.

So, make sure to stick around until the end, because both guests are fantastic.
