WELCOME! This is the first posted episode of Headphone Alliance Podcast, and it's a special!

We've got 14 episodes in the bag already, but we decided to debut with a special episode for Halloween. And what's more scary in the world of music than One Hit Wonders!?

Plus, this episode, we have special guest Ev Lloyd!

Can you tell how special this is? I'll say special again just to make sure you get it.

We each chose three of our favorite 90s one hit wonders to discuss with the group.
