MP3: RIP Jason Sears and Tom Roberts

Jason Sears (RKL) passed away recently as did Tom "Pig Champion" Roberts (Poison Idea). Both bands were a huge influence (literally, in Poison Idea's case) on a tonn of kids. I only got to see Poison Idea once. Killer show. There was a second show they were supposed to play in SF, but they never showed up. I heard a lot of " the axels on their van must have given out" jokes that night. I've seen RKL lots of time, most recently on their tour with one of the incarnations of the English Dogs. Such a fun band.

RIP Jason and Tom
