With Punk Rock Bowling and Music Festival right around the corner, it seems like a good time to revisit some of the interviews we did at thepunkrockmuseum during last year's festival. One of our favorite chats was with the all-womxn, riff-heavy, brazenly impenitent punk trio, Egg Drop Soup! If you missed our chat with Sammy, Olivia and Bailey, please check it out today. We covered everything from smashing the patriarchy to being in a band "open relationship" to their latest album "One Hit Woman."

In this episode of the show, original show host Jon Denman rejoins us for a Vinyl Voices road trip deep into "The Warren," where we visit our old friends, Houston Celtic punk rockers, The Dead Rabbits! After we chowed down on tender ribs and some incredible potato salad cheffed up by Rabbits' founder Seamuis Strain, we talked about the band's long history and all its offshoot bands, courtesy of the very busy Dead Rabbits lineup. With shouts out to a bunch of Houston punk rock lifers, some sweet "choons" from Slummer and party mouth music and even a show-closing sea shanty, you won't wanna miss this one!
