It's not a lizard, it's not a bird, it's Lizard The Bird the band from Halifax Nova Scotia. We chat with ALL the members of the band about their debut EP First Clutch, their latest single Coming Undone, and so many maritime bands we've apparently been sleeping on. They share with us some of their NS favourites (which were very difficult for them to narrow down to only 3), but we hear some tunes from North of Nowhere, Verry Gerry, and Dogpile.

Today's episode is not your normal episode...we are chatting with Wiesinger (From Season 3) but not about Wiesinger!
