Description

You're about to hear one of the most wounded garage rock tunes ever this week - "Point Five", by another group of Nomads, this one from Pennsylvania. There's something about this one that stands out - from the powerless vocals, to the poetic lyrics, to the awkward, amateurish, but compelling playing. We'd say it's one of a kind, but another Pa. band - the excellently named Adam & The Evils - did a version hot on the heels of the original. Their rendition is really different and brings us back to the origins of the podcast: comparing two versions of a cool garage rock tune and finding out what makes this kind of music special... add it all up for a great episode!
