Posted on by Leave a comment

Before there was Underground Music Collective, there was Lehigh Valley Underground, a plucky regional music blog based in Bethlehem, PA.

The origin point of that blog? Of course, it’s our Official Podcast, The Quinn Spinn, which is still running strong in its 10th year.
