What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show, Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection: an artist, album, or grouping of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. This week, we look back at the very beginning of his discovery of the power of music and the distortion-fueled sounds with a lasting impact. Hope you enjoy and that we turn you on to something new!
