The 4th Waxcast may be the last, but hopefully its not.. If so will it vanish into obscurity like the bands in this Episode? The record profiled in this possible final 4 is called Best Beat. The songs are great 60's Beat-Garage-Psych examples but the names are different. Why didn't these bands ever reach the US or the UK? I trip on that for sure. Hope you enjoy, sounding off 1,2,3,4..1,2,,,,3,4!
