Did you miss us? It’s been three years since our last show, but we’re finally back and better than ever. You are about to embark on The Maniacs Weekly Show’s episode 1 of the 3rd season. For those of you who are new to the show, fear not, you havn’t missed anything major, for we are starting out anew.This was technically a test broadcast, which is clearly evident in the horrific (and I mean TERRIBLE) sound quality due to Tom’s crappy mic (which has since been replaced) and echo from B having to use speakers lieu of headphones. Most of the show Tom is hard to hear, and what you can hear is echo-y. Also, it is MUCH more political and not-quite-as-funny as our older listeners expect. This is because we wanted to get most of that Katrina/9-11/oil prices blah blah blah stuff out of the way before we did our first true show. However if you really love us, at least browse through this little piece of wabi-sabi.
Don’t get me wrong, this show has great humor and music, it’s just very rough around the edges. Don’t expect our shows from now on to be such poor sound quality.
Anyway, enough show bashing. Take a god damned listen!

Bands
- Bands featured on this episode are:
SouthcottSouthcott is an indie rock band from Rockland County, NY. They deliver some great catchy music without any whining. This shit makes you want to jump around and slam dance with the bookshelf. Their album Flee the Scene just came out February 7th, so go get it.
The Drama Summer Out of Findlay, OH, The Drama summer is a pop-punk/emo band that doesn’t sound like everybody else. I consider that a great compliment. Look for good things coming from these guys. They also have a new EP titled Make A Move coming out March 11th.
One Way LetterI can’t say enough about this quartette. Their sound is unique, they have a mix of beautiful, powerful, hard songs, every one of them great. Their lead vocalist is female, which is rare among emo/rock bands. Howerver, this ain’t no Rilo, this band rocks hard and know’s what they’re doing. Their debut album Where Everybody Knows Your Name is out now, and you have to get it. NOW!
