Power Pop Overdose

Power Pop Overdose on Mad Wasp Radio 213 10/11/2025

Episode Summary

This week, we’re featuring new music from Chicago favorites The Webstirs, plus fresh cuts from The Gypsy Moths, Ruby and the Clumsy Dollies, Richard Turgon, The Glad Machine, and The Galileo 7. We’re also digging deep into the PPO Archives for some criminally under-heard power pop treasures from Rubber City Rebels, No Sisters, The Uncool Danceband, The Shades, Third Floor Strangers, Johnny Dark & The Rollers, and one of the best bands you’ve never heard of—Strangeways. And since Halloween’s creeping up, we’ve slipped in a few spooky-season treats from Librarians With Hickeys, The Goldstars, and The Armoires. It’s sixty minutes of hooks, harmonies, and hidden gems—tune in
