No Love Lost

In this weeks episode of Frontera Frequencies, hosts Roberto Avant- Mier and Ale Seañez talk about the songs that bring us comfort amidst heartbreak. In this episode they include some throw back songs such as "You Were Meant For Me" by Jewel, "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division, and a newer song by Teddy Swims, "The Door". On the Miner Music Minute, we have creative writing professor, Dr. Jeff Sirkin, who talks about the songs that bring him back home. He plays songs like "Teenage Wasteland" by Wussy, a rock band from his home town and a song from his brothers old band "Neenah Foundry" from the 90's and talked about what it was like to go on tour with them.
