Today on your bFM Breakfast: If the Wake Up Call didn't get you up this morning, Metal Memory Monday will; Pennie's not only a fashion expert but Netflix too, talking Social Fabric (2017); Jenna's here with a grizzly true crime masterpiece, and ancestry tests? Hmm; and lucky for you listeners, Natural Ange has the lowdown on sore throats and dry skin, we're deep in winter now y'all. Running things smoothly, here on Breakfast.
This week we hear newly released tunes from Charles Bradley and Melodownz, Auckland band Créme Jéan comes up to the studio for Fancy New Band, and Melborne duo Divide and Dissolve stop by for a chat.
