Johnny Rotten was a pivotal figure in the earliest days of Punk.  For an encore he went back to his surname of Lydon and formed Public Image Ltd who would prove to be one of the earliest purveyors of a genre that would aptly come to be known as Post Punk.   Influencing the likes of Big Black, Sonic Youth, Slint and scores of others, PiL were as ahead of their time as the Sex Pistols were and their legacy is arguably more consequential to the sound of anything that could called “alternative” music today.     huntsmanhill.com   #huntsmanhill   Spotify Playlist:  https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg   HHPP Amazon Affiliates Store https://huntsmanhill.com/2022/06/09/hhpp-store/   Our Music manhuntsman:  https://manhuntsman.com Academy O.C:  https://academyoc.bandcamp.com/album/academy-o-c

Minor Threat is back along with Dischord stalwarts Government Issue and Youth Brigade (not to be confused with the Stern brothers led LA band of the same name) for Dischord releases three, four and five.  While the quality varies across the three 7 inches, they are each representative of not only the DC sound of the time but also of what legions of Hardcore acts to follow would use as inspiration (and imitation).    huntsmanhill.com #huntsmanhill Spotify Playlist:  https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg   HHPP Amazon Affiliates Store https://huntsmanhill.com/2022/06/09/hhpp-store/   Our Music manhuntsman:  https://manhuntsman.com Academy O.C:  https://academyoc.bandcamp.com/album/academy-o-c

Satan is back!  For the second consecutive episode we return to hell for another 80’s Thrash classic.  This time it’s the genre defining Possessed who essentially spawned Death Metal with this record.  It’s a stone cold classic by any measure but that doesn’t mean it’s any good in 2022 (try listening to The Joshua Tree today).   With Rod still out Mike & Glenn delve back into the depths and back to their youth of sleeveless band tees and puffy sneakers to see if Seven Churches is still worthy of its reputation.    Recommended Listening:   Possessed Live At Fender’s Ballroom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13-6gDVkyYc   huntsmanhill.com   #huntsmanhill   Spotify Playlist:  https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg   HHPP Amazon Affiliates Store https://huntsmanhill.com/2022/06/09/hhpp-store/   Our Music manhuntsman:  https://manhuntsman.com Academy O.C:  https://academyoc.bandcamp.com/album/academy-o-c

All right donors, DONATE!!!!! With visions of high school spinning through their heads MIke & Glenn tackle this early Thrash Metal classic.  At the time of its release (in 1985) they could find no flaw in the record but does it hold up 37 years later?    Recommended Listening:   Movie  Get Thrashed  https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.80b9683a-92b6-e516-7d7e-80876883455f?autoplay=0&ref_=atv_cf_strg_wb   huntsmanhill.com #huntsmanhill Spotify Playlist:  https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg   HHPP Amazon Affiliates Store https://huntsmanhill.com/2022/06/09/hhpp-store/   Our Music manhuntsman:  https://manhuntsman.com Academy O.C:  https://academyoc.bandcamp.com/album/academy-o-c

X becomes the first band inducted into the HHPP "Four Episode" club and for the occasion we return to our original two man structure with Mike & Rod as a duo and as with previous X shows they spend the bulk of the program proclaiming the greatness of the Los Angeles quartet with deep dives into all eleven tracks of their classic third LP.    huntsmanhill.com #huntsmanhill Spotify Playlist:  https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg   HHPP Amazon Affiliates Store https://huntsmanhill.com/2022/06/09/hhpp-store/   Our Music manhuntsman:  https://manhuntsman.com Academy O.C:  https://academyoc.bandcamp.com/album/academy-o-c

With hundreds of great cover versions across dozens of genres, we pick our favorite Beatles songs as interpreted by other artists.  From Johnny Cash to Trouble, The Supremes to the Bad Brains we cover a lot of ground on this one with detours into Rod’s record organization,  a plea for a vinyl copy of “Extras” by The Jam and a very confusing calendar synch while attempting to determine when Echo & the Bunnymen are playing in Los Angeles this year.    LINK TO EPISODE IN BIO   Recommended Listening: “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” at the 2004 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction of George Harrison   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWRCooFKk3c   huntsmanhill.com #huntsmanhill Spotify Playlist:  https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg   HHPP Amazon Affiliates Store https://huntsmanhill.com/2022/06/09/hhpp-store/   Our Music manhuntsman:  https://manhuntsman.com Academy O.C:  https://academyoc.bandcamp.com/album/academy-o-c

This is when The Afghan Whigs really became The Afghan Whigs.  Episode two of the solo pod series explores all twelve tracks from the defining opening statement “Her Against Me” to what is perhaps their finest ever moment in “Miles Iz Ded” with plenty of chill inducing moments in between.     huntsmanhill.com #huntsmanhill Spotify Playlist:  https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg   Our Music manhuntsman:  https://manhuntsman.com Academy O.C:  https://academyoc.bandcamp.com/album/academy-o-c

Like Thanos, The Afghan Whigs were inevitable for the podcast and what better time than when Rod and Glenn are unavailable?  That’s right, SOLO POD!  The first in a series of episodes focused on the Cincinnati greats’ discography.  We begin with their official debut, 1990’s “Up In It.”      huntsmanhill.com #huntsmanhill Spotify Playlist:  https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg   Our Music manhuntsman:  https://manhuntsman.com Academy O.C:  https://academyoc.bandcamp.com/album/academy-o-c
