It's Power Pop To Me

Published: May 24, 2023, 11 p.m.

In this episode of Music at a Rational Volume, Nate and Kyle try to get to to the heart of what power pop is and then make a playlist. The truth is it depends on who you talk to and what definition you believe. So being the opinionated and independent minded people they are, the hosts just make their own for a kick-ass playlist just for you.
