Join musician Chris Fafalios (Punchline) and co-host Matt Kelly from the Geekscape network on One Hit Thunder , where each week they dive into the world of one-hit wonders with a new guest. Chris and Matt are joined by a revolving door of friends, including Chris's bandmates, musicians he’s toured with, and fellow artists, to listen to a one-hit wonder and explore the full catalog of the band or artist behind it. With a mix of humor and musical insight, Chris and Matt dive deep to decide if these artists truly brought the "one hit thunder" and deserved more recognition or if they’re just a "one hit blunder." Perfect for music fans and pop culture enthusiasts alike, One Hit Thunder is a fun and thoughtful exploration of the highs and lows of fleeting fame in the music industry.
