This week we’re discussing Paramore’s latest album, This Is Why. Fans of the show probably aren’t expecting this one, but we’re covering it for a reason. If you had any doubts about Paramore before now, we don’t blame you, but those doubts end here. This album is incredible. Rip off the band aid and join us.

This week we’re discussing every album by Hammerhead. Closely associated with Amphetamine Reptile Records (AmRep) and the 90s noise rock scene in Minneapolis, MN, Hammerhead is one of the loudest and most punishing trios in the whole genre. Made up of core members Paul Erickson (bass, vocals), Paul Sanders (guitar, vocals), and Jeff Mooridian (drums), Hammerhead is criminally underrated and totally unique. Are they for everyone? Absolutely not.

Closing track: “Zooid” from New Directionz (2015)

This week we’re discussing our top 5 most underrated albums we’ve covered on the show. Not only do we feel each of these records are great in their own right, but we’re also outraged that they don’t get the credit and attention they deserve. These are names we’re all familiar with like the Beastie Boys and White Zombie, but chances are you haven’t heard these albums.

This week we’re discussing every album by Swans from 1987-1996. This era of the band is easily their most blindsiding, as they shifted heavily from the brutality of their early records to a more musical, goth, and at times even poppy direction. And what’s more shocking is that they still ruled every step of the way. While Michael Gira still had a revolving door of members in the band at this time, vocalist and keyboardist Jarboe became an essential part of this era of Swans.

Closing track: “Helpless Child” from Soundtracks for the Blind (1996)

This week we’re discussing our top 5 most overrated albums that we’ve covered on the show. There is no sensible reason for us to do this episode other than masochism. Most people will not enjoy this, or us by extension, and we should probably look into life insurance for the death threats coming. However, we stand by these picks as getting way more praise than they deserve. Mike and Alex fight and agree at various points here, so clearly no one is on the same page.

This week we’re discussing every album by the legendary Bad Brains. This band needs no introduction, as they are one of the greatest and most influential punk bands of all time. Comprised of HR (vocals), Dr. Know (guitar), Darryl Jennifer (bass), and Earl Hudson (drums and brother of HR), Bad Brains almost singlehandedly invented hardcore punk. If that wasn’t enough, they continued to evolve musically over the years throughout some unbelievably sketchy situations, all due to HR’s erratic on and off-stage behavior. Strap in, folks, this one is a doozy.

Closing track: “Sacred Love” from I Against I (1986)

This week we’re discussing EVERY LOSER, Iggy Pop’s latest album. Joined by a litany of guest musicians (Duff McKagan, Chad Smith, Travis Barker, Stone Gossard, Eric Avery, Taylor Hawkins, and Dave Navarro), Iggy isn't holding back at all here. EVERY LOSER is a strong entry in his massive solo discography. Seriously, no 75-year-old has any business putting out an album this good. We also trail off and talk smack about Ticketmaster for a while, but that’s a different story.

Closing track: “The Regency”

This week we’re discussing every album by GOD. Led by Kevin Richard Martin and Justin Broadrick (of Godflesh and Napalm Death), GOD is a tough band to describe and an even harder one to Google. Heavy, punishing, groovy, noisy, and more brutal than anything you’ve heard. Even John Zorn played with them on one album. They’re really incredible, so please seek out their albums as best you can.

Closing track: “Bloodstream” from The Anatomy of Addiction (1994)

It’s the end of another year, so we’re discussing all our favorite albums of 2022. There’s a ton of variety here and even more strangeness. Seriously, each pick is weirder than the last but holy hell do they rule. You’d be a fool to ignore some of these albums. Dig it.

This week we’re discussing every album by The Smalls. From Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, The Smalls never got the recognition they deserved. This is likely due to the fact that they’re almost impossible to categorize. Equal parts thrash, punk, and post-hardcore, but with a prominent country western influence. Underrated and incredibly unique.
