Karen O’Connor (vocals) and Dan Regenauer (drums/vocals) joined us for a trip through some of our favorite songs from their latest album, No God? No Problem.

You also hear the story of their guitar player, Gordie Kasza, doing the old “crash & burn” while on tour… but still playing the show! And yes, there’s video of his wreck… HERE.
