I don’t really get caught up in Olympic fever, sports aren’t really my thing. Saying that, I’ve always thought that the idea of the entire world converging in one spot was pretty damn cool. Even if it was sport related. So, in the spirit of gathering things from around the world, I have an awesome, highly international (because that’s the point) episode for you today. This podcast features bands from Greece, Australia, Korea, the USA, France, Japan, Sweden and Germany respectively. Enjoy it, I know I did discovering these bands and putting this together.

the Smoking Barrels – Modulation (Unfinished Business ’11)

the Resignators – Booze & Tattoos (See You in Hell ’10)

Witches – 떳다!!그녀!! (Ddota!! Kunyo!!) (Broomstick ’02)

the Mighty Mighty Bosstones – Cowboy Coffee (More Noise & Other Disturbances ’91)

65 Mines Street – Brand New Spring (65 Mines Street ’10)

Unscandal – 月の明かりにてらされて (Strike ’00)

Mobster – Colourblind (Rough & Ready ’10)
