Creators of the song Coppertone, Sydney band Fini Scad shined brightly, if only briefly, in the mid 1990's.
This episode highlights the triumphs and pitfalls that go along with being in an up-and-coming band hailed as the 'next big thing'.
Signed to Mushroom Records, the Fini Scad story is a lesson on how the business side of things can quickly sour an emerging musical dream.
While the Fini Scad story doesn't finish with a fairytale ending, their musical legacy is a fantastic album Widerscreen and a heap of high energy songs that have stood the test of time.
The special guest for this episode is Fini Scad drummer, Jono McPhee.
