Modcast #340: The New Art School

It's a bit of a cliché, forming a band while you're in art school. Or college. Or any school at all. But that's because it happens quite a bit. So I've collected a whole bunch of bands whose origins go back to art school mostly, though occasionally college as well. Ready to get schooled?
