    It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and Bandsplain has a very special gift for you.

    Jeff Buckley With Sean Fennessey

    Mailbag with Rob Harvilla, Plus An Interview with Militarie Gun’s Ian Shelton

    It’s mailbag time, and once again Rob Harvilla is here to help Yasi answer your most pressing questions. Is 31 too old to go to shows? What would you recommend to impress a hardcore Swedish punk gamer? Why do all the kids these days look like Geese (the band)? And who was stage diving at a Riff Raff show?! Next, Yasi is joined by Militarie Gun’s Ian Shelton to discuss their new album God Save The Gun. And along the way they talk getting over your embarrassment, therapy through songwriting, and some less controversial topics (like God).  CREDITS: Host: Yasi Salek ⁠@yasisalek⁠ Guests: Rob Harvilla ⁠@harvilla⁠, Ian Shelton ⁠@militariegun⁠ Producer: Rob Sundermann  Editor: Adrian Bridges Additional Production Supervision: Justin Sayles Theme Song: Bethany Cosentino Learn more about your ad choices.
