• Today we close out the pod with a song from an Austin punk band called Riverboat Gamblers. Originating from Denton, Texas, they have been active since the late 90s and have been widely acclaimed, they have produced six studio albums, and were even featured on a Madden NFL Football video game soundtrack. For more information, check them out at gamblersforeverforevergamblers.com, on Twitter @thegamblers, or other music outlets. The song is their new single called "No Voices in the Sky", which is a cover of the original Motorhead tune, and it has already been highly praised by the actual band Motorhead! We hope you enjoy it.
• If you’d like to send us music to use in the pod or know some musicians who might be interested, drop us an email at [e-mail]. We’d love to showcase more Austin music and musicians to Austin soccer fans.
