This week on Listen Up!, it is revved-up rock and roll for anyone with a taste for the crazed. Twisted and trashy, lip curling, moronic, obscure rock n roll, fuzz filled angst garage, blues by drunks, rhythm and blues that actually has rhythm and blues (imagine that?), dysfunctional doo-wop, and lots of other wild sounds.

Listen Up!: Where the cool, the classic, the corny and even the cringe-worthy collide.
