Each week on 'At First Listen,' cohosts Andrew and Dominique dive deep into music new and old that to broaden their musical horizons and (hopefully) discover new favorites.

Our guest Kelly Branco introduces us to Ween via the band's 1997 album 'The Mollusk.'
We discuss the alternative music landscape in the '90s that enabled a strange band like Ween to find its audience, as well as how Ween's unsinkable irreverence influenced beloved millennial TV shows like 'South Park' and 'SpongeBob Squarepants.'

We tackle some fresh hardcore from Thrown with the newly-released single, “Split.”
Thrown’s groovy brand of slam metal feels especially livid in a genre where the primary goal is to put anger on tape. The Swedes are one of Andrew’s favorite up-and-coming heavy bands.
On this bonus episode, Andrew and Dominique discuss what makes “Split” hit different.

We applaud guitarist Joe Bonamassa’s heroic tribute B.B. King Blues Summit 100, celebrating what would be the King of the Blues’ 100th birthday, but have to ask, ‘Why?’
We parse through our conflicted feeling about the state of the blues; is the blues a dead genre and did white people kill it?
