Wrestling fans are used to seeing these four words on show posters and lineups: "Card Subject to Change." No wrestling match is set in stone; sometimes they need to be changed or canceled because of injury, emergency, or travel issues. On this episode, the proverbial card changes as Andrew and guest Jeremy Sexton (Voices of Wrestling, Sport of Pro Wrestling) play songs where the lead vocals are not performed by the typical lead singer(s). Instead, it's either another band member or a guest stepping in. Artists featured on this episode include The Beach Boys, New Order, Heart, Steely Dan, Metric, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Foo Fighters, and many more. Call the booker and tell him you can't make the show, because this episode deserves your full attention!Follow Music of the Mat on Twitter: @MusicoftheMatFollow Sport of Pro Wrestling on Twitter: @SoPWrestlingSportofProWrestling.comAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat: https://redcircle.com/music-of-the-mat/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
