EP 114 - Michael Swank (iNTeRNeT FReNDz / Myka, Relocate / Foxera) | It's Not A Phase

On this episode I'm joined by Michael Swank who's the vocalist for pop-punk duo, iNTeRNeT FReNDz.

The band is a fairly new project, so we talk about how it came to be, their recently released debut EP 'It's A Secret', covering an Ashlee Simpson song, the recently announced Myka Relocate reunion, his other project Foxera, and loads more.

A new episode will be released every Thursday.
