Hokey Religions Live!


The release of the Hand’Solo Records mixtape Hokey Religions & Ancient Weapons (are no match for a good blaster) was celebrated with a live show featuring performances by Wordburglar, More Or Les, Noah 23, Baracuda, Royce Birth and Brockway Biggs. Luckily, Alex Stephens was in the house with all of his gear and he has made his audio recording of the show available to us. So, being the kind folks that we are, Hand’Solo Records has decided to take our favourite songs from the show and offer them up as a free download.
