Weird Nightmare joins host Stephen Kallao
For almost two decades Alex Edkins led the punk and hardcore band METZ, but with his solo project, Weird Nightmare, Edkins makes upbeat power-pop reminiscent of The Replacements and Teenage Fan Club. Their new album, Hoopla, was co-produced by Jim Eno of Spoon, and coming up, Weird Nightmare plays songs from Hoopla in a live mini concert.
