Show #47

Tape Swap Radio

On this show, we have a Shards Session with Daytime Cleaners, a four-piece garage rock/jangle pop band from Bethlehem, PA. The band is made-up of Don, Ben, Bill, and Earl, who have played in Lehigh Valley bands like Narrow Lover, Poor Diet, and The Under Sixteens. The band joined us to record this session in May 2017.

We also talk with Ramona Córdova, an experimental artist currently based in Philadelphia, who's playing our next Tape Swap Presents live show at Lit Roastery in Bethlehem on January 11, 2018. Ramona talks about traveling the world, discusses the inspiration behind the new album On Paper, and picks out music from some of their favorite recent DIY/independent releases.

This show premiered on WDIY (Lehigh Valley's Community NPR Station) on January 5, 2018.
