As Greta Thunberg makes her way across the Atlantic in a zero-emissions sailboat, these lyrics from the Denver bands MEET THE GIANT and THE WHEEL on this week's show stood out. 

“How long are you giving me to figure this out? The clocks are running, until all the lies are told."
- Runaway by Meet the Giant

"I'll reach a point and I'll quit running. Too tired to move my legs."
- Whimper and Wail by Nathaniel Rateliff's The Wheel

Not trying to pin politics on any of these bands. But as the reality of climate change sinks in, more and more artists seem to be asking questions. Like, how long are you giving me to figure this out?

MEET THE GIANT will be playing at an old-tyme Colfax standard, Lost Lake, on Saturday, August 31st. They share the bill with The Astronauts, The Center and Bad Britton. Be sure to tell them Vagrom sent ya.

From meetthegiant.com: MEET THE GIANT formed in 2009 as a writing and recording outlet for scene veterans Erin Cisney, Micaela Haluko, and Lawrence Snell (hailing from such acts as Colder Than Fargo, Fallout Orphan, and The Legendary Beep Beeps). Their self-titled debut was released in May 2018.
