Rock Out Loud

Kristin takes the reins of the show and formally introduces Steve to The Darkness.

The show is still fun or so “some might say.” When it’s all said […]

Kristin and Steve take a look back to the mid-nineties when grunge had a strong foothold in rock and roll, and the bands of the previous decade had become punch lines.
