This week we're discussing WAR., the newest album by noise rock band WHORES. This album hits insanely hard. If you find yourself in the mood for noise rock with a healthy dosage of sludge metal mixed in there, you'll have a hard time finding a better album than this one this year. Crank this one loud, folks.

Closing track: "Quitter's Fight Song"

This week we're discussing the remaining albums by Siouxsie and the Banshees. This era covers 1984-1995, into their subsequent break up. While there are still plenty of beloved albums in this era, this is also where some complications hit the band. One of which being their brief stint with The Cure's Robert Smith on guitar. It's not all good, folks, but there's still great stuff to be had here. Be sure to check out part 1 of our Siouxsie episodes, which is episode 190.

Closing track: "Running Town" from Hyaena (1984)

This week we're discussing the debut solo album by Portishead vocalist Beth Gibbons titled Lives Outgrown. We honestly weren't sure what to expect from this record, but what we got is easily one of the best albums of the year. While there are hints of Portishead's sound here, Gibbons has taken a turn for the dark, orchestral, and tribal. This is one you gotta hear.

This week we're discussing every album by hip hop trio Injury Reserve. Made up of Ritchie with a T, Parker Corey, and Stepa J. Groggs (before his untimely death in 2020), Injury Reserve made some of the most innovative and downright insane rap in history. This isn't for casual music listeners, but it is wholly unique unlike anything we've heard before.

This week we're discussing the latest album by metalcore band Knocked Loose, titled You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To. Now Alex and Mike aren't the hugest fans of hardcore/metalcore, but they are fans of extreme music. And let me tell you, ANY fan of extreme music must hear this album. The hype is real, folks. This is one of the most creative and engaging metal albums of the year.

This week we're discussing every album by Hot Snakes. Led by the prolific guitar duo of Rick Froberg and John Reis (Drive Like Jehu, Rocket from the Crypt, Obits), Hot Snakes takes the post-hardcore technicality of Drive Like Jehu and condenses into shorter and more energetic song structures. An incredible band whose life was cut short due to the untimely death of Froberg in 2023. Turn these guys up loud, they rule.

This week we're discussing Infinite Desires, the latest album by post-disco artist Donny Benét. This isn't the type of album we normally cover on this show, but after taking one look at Donny's incredible mustache and hairdo, we were sold. And the music? If you're open to funky, soulful, and dancey stuff, then it is a must-listen and one of the best surprises of the year.

This week we’re discussing the only album by Maskull. This album is the biggest mystery we’ve ever had on this show. After its release in 1997, Maskull vanished leaving virtually no trace, aside from a few rumors. The music itself? Completely insane and downright hilarious. Joined by Mike’s brother Robert, we dive deep into the rabbit hole to uncover as much information as we can. Strap in for this one, folks.

This week we’re discussing every album by Grotus (stylized as Grötüs). Die hard Mike Patton fans might recognize this band, as he championed them in the early 90s and even took them on tour with Mr. Bungle. However, Grotus’s music stands on its own as a brutal mashup of industrial and groove metal. An overlooked gem of a band that’s worth checking out.

This week we’re not only discussing Tarantula Heart, the latest album by the Melvins, but Buzz Osborne himself has graced us with an exclusive interview (which starts at 37:56). Tarantula Hearts marks the Melvins’ return to dual drummers (this time with Ministry’s Roy Mayorga) and it’s a delight. Later in the episode, our history guy Tom talks to Buzz directly, covering everything from their disastrous tour with White Zombie to Buzz’s love of golf. Dig it.
