Rock, Metal, Punk, Pop, Rap, Easy Listening, nothing is off limits probably aside from mumble-rap, we’re too old for that.

The album marked a significant departure from the band's previous work, putting forward a somewhat more aggressive sound that combined elements of alternative rock and grunge, really popular

E110 - U2 Vol 2 - Zooropa - The End?

Dec 18 2024 104 mins  
Wowzers! More than 3 years after part 1 of our look back through the music of U2 we return to finally conclude the band’s career. Picking up where we left off last time, we take the Zoorapa-shaped baton and slog it through right up to latest 40 track (!!?!) effort. Does mid-late U2 measure up? Are there any bangers? Can Bono and the boys still write a tune? Listen in & find o

E107 - Korn - Korn PLUS One-Hit Wonders winners!

Oct 30 2024 130 mins  
Suppose we had to get round to this one at some point, eh? “Korn," released in 1994 to an unsuspecting audience, is the self-titled debut album by the American Nu-Metal band Korn (but don’t tell them they’re Nu-Metal, cause they are). This groundbreaking record is often credited with birthing the nu-metal genre, blending heavy metal with elements of hip-hop and alternative ro

E106 - Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP

Oct 16 2024 171 mins  
Who says we only do guitars? At long, long last this podcast gets round to the megastar rapper, songwriter, producer, record exec, actor? Ol’ Slim Shady himself, Eminem. More specifically, his 2nd big label release (yes all you Stans, I know about Infinite) The Marshall Mathers LP. The album was released when Marshall was right up there as one of the biggest names worldwide, con

E105 - Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way

Oct 02 2024 116 mins  
I mean… c’mon…. The Red Hot Chili Peppers?? Just how have this band been out there for ages peddling their wares? Every couple of years chucking out a similarly-filled, funk-infused, cheaply lyricised new album, selling buttloads of copies, filling arenas and staying (somewhat)relevant? Plus, who is an admirer and why? With neither of us being fans Mr. Kiedis & his merry

E103 - One Hit Wonders Tournament Part 1

Sep 03 2024 116 mins  
Who doesn’t love a One Hit Wonder? Songs that hit the charts, got stuck in the musical consciousness, were everywhere for a while and then disappeared, the artists in most cases never to be heard from again, relegated to “oh man, remember that (insert name here ) tune? Well we love them, or at least slightly like some of them and decided to ask a few of our co-hosts to rate a
