We are taking a journey to Central Europe to speak with Andre from The Wave of Things. Throughout our tour we'll be exploring the music and scene of central and eastern Europe, discussing the variation of subcultural expression from country to country and debate whether music can be objectively goth.

Our guest this episode is Andre of The Wave of Things and Deus Faust.
