This week we celebrate bands that can re-imagine their songs with acoustic instruments and still rock! We are pulling the plug… and gasping for air… guitars! Electric artists have been playing acoustically since the beginning of recorded music. Most songwriters start the process with an acoustic instrument and capturing the sound of a song on just wire and wood has a vulnerable, human feel to it. 

What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This week we discuss the FORGOTTEN. Mtv started a series in 1989 called “unplugged”, and almost every mainstream relevant act started producing acoustic albums or versions of their songs. This week we listen to some artist that you may have never considered as having acoustic interpretations of their songs.

Songs this week include:

1. The Gems – “Like A Phoenix (Acoustic Version)” from Phoenix (2024)
2. Cicadstone – “Burn Your Name (Acoustic)” from Future Echoes (Acoustic EP) (2024)
3. Dokken – “In My Dreams” from One Live Night (1996) 
4. Rise Against – “Swing Life Away” from Punk Goes Acoustic (2003)
5. Twelve Foot Ninja – “Kingdom (Acoustic)” from Mutant Dreams And Face Transplants: An Acoustic Experience (2024)
6. Joey Eppard – “Dregs” from Joey Eppard Live In Concert (2013)
7. Megadeth – “Symphony Of Destruction (Acoustic Live)” from Unplugged In Boston (Live 2001) (2001)
