On this episode of Cut Outs, I dive deep into early-80&#39;s rock culture with Dean of the band Code Blue. We dig into the band&#39;s 1980 major label debut album, and go a little off script as we discuss the trials of the music scene at the time. This was a different kind of conversation, and I enjoyed talking with Dean about the first-hand views he shares about the music industry.

Mark Farrell is just some guy - a guy who has been in far too many bands. Which bands? None you've heard of. And that's the point. He gets it. Mark knows what it is to lug gear, and play to half-empty rooms. And all these years later, Mark has never stopped rooting for the unsung musicians who never got the break they deserved. He haunts record stores looking for lost alt-rock treasures, unearthing DIY releases and short runs of great records that went largely unspun. Quite simply, Mark is on a mission to rescue the best indie albums from the discount bins of history.
