On this episode, dive deep into the debut solo LP of longtime Bay area underground songwriter/guitarist and member of multiple bands - Joel Cusumano. "Waxworld" is a devastatingly fun power rock/pop album that belies the stories behind it, including a bad break-up and a stint in a mental hospital. Here the interview - plus of course, two full hours of fresh music from the Bay and beyond.
