## Resource

Musician Steve Coulter of the rock band Ridel High returns to Geekscape (maybe you know him as music writer S.W. Lauden)! If you're unfamiliar with Ridel High, they are one of the L.A. rock bands that landed a major label deal in the wake of Weezer's successful debut... and you may be unfamiliar with them because not all of those bands "made it". But I loved their one album in college and have had Steve on the show before to talk about that era in rock music. Now he returns with fellow bandmate Kevin Ridel to talk about their upcoming EP of unreleased Ridel High demos and B-Sides! It's a hilarious conversation that spans music industry ups and downs, video games, YouTube streaming, and so much more! And the always awesome Eric Ernst joins me as my music history literate cohost! Enjoy!
