EPISODE #110

Bhi Bhiman joins to explain the “nerd punk rock” behind releasing his new album Peace of Mind with an accompanying podcast. Since Bhiman explores issues like deportation on the track “Beyond the Border,” there’s a lot to say about each song. Even though he tackles tough topics, Bhiman make sure he puts music before the message. “Beyond the Border” summons a vast range of funky influences, from Van Halen to the Allman Brothers, to ask what America really means.
