So, the summer 2020 anime season is looking a little... barren. We’ve got less than 20 new full-length anime, and even though some of them are fantastic so far (like The God of High School and Deca-Dence), it’s hard not to feel the crushing impact that the coronavirus pandemic has had on both the release schedule and sometimes the content of the shows themselves.

Steve Conte has had quite the career. He’s a New York City-based singer and guitarist whose resume includes playing with the New York Dolls, The Michael Monroe Band, his own band, and too many other acts to name. He also writes and produces his own songs, and even after over 30 years of rocking, he still makes his punk haircut look good.
