Alphabet Soup Series: "K" Jul 19, 2026

Show notes

This week in the “Alphabet Soup Series”, we hit the letter "K". Let's find out what bands, albums, and songs we end up sharing.

A new series from the mind of "Hollywood" Pooni. We are calling this one Alphabet Soup. Here's the idea - 1 Band, 2 Albums, 3 Songs, and 1 Movie all starting with a single letter in the alphabet.

The object of this series is to focus on some lesser known bands and songs. As always we will share a little history about bands and songs and we promise as always to ROCK!
