This is the first episode of Season 3 and we are happy to be back!

We have a brand new format designed to keep you updated with what’s happening in the music world as well as to bring you in-depth discussions about various music nerd things.

This season, yours truly, The bravest of badgers, will be hosting a short format news segment called ***What’s Happening*** where I will be discussing the week's music news, often joined by a fellow music nerd.

Monthly we will “get the band back together” in the studio for a long format discussion on a music nerd topic of choice, such as Vinyl vs Streaming or Music Through the Decades...

The Scared Fox and Darsh stopped by for a discussion recently, that episode will air next week, so make sure you subscribe to 12 Bar News wherever you get your podcast or at 12BARNEWS.COM

What’s happening?!? All of these topics were discussed by this week's hosts:

• The Sick New World Festival was announced earlier this week and promises to bring the same nostalgia to Nu Metal fans as the When We Were Young Festival brought to Emo Kids.
• Iggy Pop announced a new album featuring amazing guest musicians.
• Aaroon Carter's sad death at age of 34
• New Found Glory announced a new acoustic album featuring some of their classic hits.
• Bright Eyes has released another 3 installments of their companion EPs along with their respective classic albums. Badger gives a quick review of the new EPs and nerds out for a while.
