Rocketboat likes to classify themselves as “adventure rock” going beyond the pop rock formula and into the realm of experimenting with video game sounds and progressive song structures. Based out of Indiana, the band is steadily adventuring into the Chicago rock scene, and recently sat down with Jesse Menendez to talk about Indiana’s music community, their video game enthusiasm, and their self-titled debut record.

We know the reasons people own guns can vary as much as the opinions over what to do about gun violence. So it’s important to get as many perspectives as possible. In this episode we present a clip from WBEZ’s “Our Guns” series that looks at women who own guns for their own protection. Team Vocalo’s Molly Adams and Brian Babylon discuss the story and also hear from two listeners who share their thoughts on the gun control debate.

Also, rapper K.Flay is known for her electronic tinged brand of introspective Hip Hop. She’s currently on tour and had a show in Chicago this past week. Before her performance, she stopped by and spoke with Jesse Menendez about her new mix tape, West Ghost, her place in the Hip Hop continuum, her thoughts on feminism in music and more.

We conclude the episode as usual with an awesome DJ set. This time from Vocalo DJ Collective member Kid Cut Up. Tune in!
