Highlights:

Live Music from the Altrok Session Suite and Beyond

From time to time, indie/alternative artists whose intestinal fortitude and laissez-faire attitude trumps their common sense will inevitably present themselves in an Altrok Session. This week, Miss World presents the fruit of their labor after inhabiting Troubador Studios in Falmouth, England this past October 3 exclusively for Altrok Radio. You'll only be able to hear these unique performances at Altrok.
