Episode 32 - Andy Gilmour (Hundred Reasons)

Apr 23 2023 75 mins

Let's be honest, very few of us thought Hundred Reasons would make music again. Most of us also didn't expect Glorious Sunset to be their best record yet, and easily one of the stand-out rock albums of 2023. No-one thought they'd come on a podcast of such little merit. Join us as we sit down with bassist Andy Gilmour, pre-release, and take a nostalgia trip through video rental stor

Episode 31 - Luke & Josh (Pupil Slicer)

Mar 04 2023 66 mins

This time we're joined by Luke and Josh, two thirds of brutal UK metal outfit Pupil Slicer. They're lovely lads too, which adds to our theory that the nastiest, heaviest bands are always the most pleasant people you can ever chat to. While we do have a chat about their musical influences, YouTube reaction videos and their upcoming record, we also spent a hefty amount of time discus

Joining us from beautiful Wales, Gordon discusses being executed in a music video, the Corby trouser press (tha

Jan 29 2022 45 mins

We had babies (well, our wives did) and we're back from our PITernity leave. And what a guest to come back with! Will Putney doesn't really need an introduction, but, just for our parents, he's a guitarist in New Jersey's premier deathcore band Fit For An Autopsy, and has also produced some of the best metal and hardcore records of the last 20 years - including releases from Knocke

Gather, friends, as we sit down with the incredibly talented and wonderfully warm Sergio Medina, who joins us from Las Vegas. Sergio plays guitar in Eidola and Royal Coda, and is also Vice President of Blue Swan Records.

Episode 26 - Randy Frobel (We Were Sharks)

Aug 12 2021 74 mins

Randy Frobel is an incredibly nice, incredibly busy guy.

We hate him for all of this.Luckily for us, Randy also has time to be part of our offbeat podcast. Things go off on a massive tange
