JUSTIN BENLOLO IS A ROCK STAR & BRKN LOVE SHOULD BE HUGE!! DTTB Ep.48
Justin Benlolo is young and has all the talent needed to be a big star. I really believe if this band came around 25 years ago, they’d be in the folklore of 90’s grunge still celebrated ad nauseum on your favourite alt rock radio stations.
BRKN Love’s debut record came out on Valentine’s Day 2020. I saw them when they came through Ottawa with Royal Tusk, a killer Canadian combination of Rock n Roll. That episode was recorded just weeks ahead of the beginning of the pandemic. That episode also captured what the essence of DTTB was intended to be. Recorded in a green room with a live performance. I get goosebumps even thinking about that performance.
In this week’s episode, we catch up on the past shit show of a year and what’s coming next for the band. 2020 should have been a massive year for BRKN Love. I can’t wait to watch them evolve.
ALSO…. I think I forgot to share the video podcast with 102.1 The Edge LEGEND, Barry Taylor. I got BARRY high and totally forgot to share it, sorry

Darryl Spring is a 20-year rock radio veteran with a history at Toronto’s 102.1 The Edge, Hamilton’s Y108 and Kingston’s K-Rock 1057. Most recently he was Program Director, Music Director and Afternoon Drive Host at Ottawa’s Rebel 1017 where he essentially got to create all the programming and curated the stations playlist, primarily from his own music library. His passion for music was clear to anyone that listened to his show. Darryl always made great efforts to elevate independent and emerging artists and built up a reputation as an interviewer. Darryl Spring says, “Artist interviews rarely happen on radio anymore, when they do its brief and offer little depth, and that means music fans are really missing out. The goal of my podcast is to provide people who are passionate about rock with a new and innovative connection to the Canadian Music Industry and the bands and artists they love and support.”
