Season 6, Episode 102

Our most unexpected find in 2023 was the 2020 release of The Vapors album Together.

On this episode we're going to give our views on their latest, Wasp In A Jar released at the end of February 2025.

And, we also had the pleasure to talk to bass player Steve Smith. We discuss the bands origins, their lengthy break up, spurts of creativity and this new album.
