Lust for Destruction: Throwback Weekend Playlist by Vinyl Conflict’s Bobby Egger

by | May 1, 2020 | MUSIC

Every Friday night, RVA Mag brings you an essential playlist curated by Virginia’s most influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This week, we’re bringing you an encore presentation of a playlist put together for us a while back by Bobby Egger, the proprietor of Vinyl Conflict. As we discussed earlier this week here at RVA Mag, everyone’s favorite Oregon Hill-based purveyor of punk rock, hardcore, metal, and hip hop has been working hard to ensure that no pandemic stops the flow of great music. In the coming weeks, stay tuned to Vinyl Conflict’s website and social media presence to keep up with the fundraisers, interviews, and great deals they’ll be presenting to keep our spirits up throughout the quarantine.

Meanwhile, as some slightly delayed April showers today transition to spring warmth over the weekend, Egger’s playlist is just as sure to heat you up; when you listen to it, you definitely won’t want to sit still.

Start the pit, Virginia.
