As the great muse Amy Poehler once said, “Other people and other people’s ideas are often better than your own.” This week’s show has been specially curated by our good friend Tyler Hernandez, who plays bass in the fantastic Asheville band Fashion Bath. A slight departure from our usual flavors, Tyler’s set is steeped in the third wave emo of the 00s, heavy with the tastes of pop-punk and post-hardcore. While tonally different, it’s still very much keeping in the spirit of Nothing Feels Good, and we thank Tyler for this wonderful show.
