It’s time once again to bow down to the ferocious ladies of rock! Our 8th episode in a series dedicated to women who bring the fury with style and passion. This time, we are paying tribute to the '90s and the Riot Grrrl movement of that decade. A movement all about women being empowered to express anger, rage, and frustration like never before. Piss off a man; you can fight it out and then go have a pint at the pub. Piss off a woman, and you will pay for it 10-fold. These are ladies that play loud and heavy with attitude and… balls? 

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. These ladies bring it, and you owe to yourself to check them out! We hope we turn you on to something new!

1. Motor Dolls – “Little Brother” from Burning Memories (1996)
2. Jucifer – “Long Live The King” from Calling All Cars On The Vegas Strip (1999)

This week we are giving a cheers to ten years! Join us as we celebrate the anniversary of the Old Smyrna Firehouse (InObscuria and Captain Content HQ). We get the inside scoop from the man himself on how this relic of a building was brought back to life to all of its firehouse glory and beyond. The building is not only Robert’s home, but it is also an exhibit within the community and is utilized for private events, weddings, photoshoots, TV commercials, and feature-length films. Oh, and it’s where we record the show every week! We celebrate by listening to songs that will get you fired up and leave you with a burning sensation!

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show, Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Robert is forced to test his endurance and provide feedback, as he has no idea what he will be subjected to every week. We hope that we turn you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you've simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing.

Songs this week include:

1. Warrior Soul – “Firehouse” from Cocaine & Other Good Stuff (2020)
2. Mother’s Finest – “Fire” from Mother’s Finest (1976)
3. The Front – “Fire” from The Front (1989)

6. Torche – “Fire” from Torche (2005)
7. Bruce Dickinson – “Fire” from Balls To Picasso (1994)
8. Ozzy Osbourne – “Fire” from Under Cover (2005)

Welcome to Ep. 300! Join us as we celebrate a milestone event by literally getting the band back together! We are joined by our former bandmates, Brandon Still & Kent Aberle, who are currently members of the southern rock juggernaut: BLACKBERRY SMOKE. In the early aughts, the 4 of us shared the stage in the power pop tour de force known as BIG JACK PNEUMATIC. Thank you to all who have contributed to or listened to the show. Let’s celebrate! Cheers!!!

What have we done for the last 299 episodes here at InObscuria? Every show, Kevin has opened the crypt to exhume and dissect aural artifacts from his personal collection, an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Robert has tested his endurance of the macabre and provided valuable, if not obtuse and titillating, feedback for your listening pleasure! Our hope is that we’ve turned you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you had simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing. Looking forward to another 300!!!

1. Big Jack Pneumatic – “In Cars I Ran” from Live @ Star Bar 1.29.2003 (2003)

This week, we're discussing bands that feature rock stars: Supergroups and Offshoots. We once again discuss how a band consisting of well-known artists from other bands does not always equal great success. Join us as we delve into some of the lesser-known supergroups and offshoots that didn’t achieve huge mainstream success or lasted for very long.

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show, Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection: an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. This week we talk exclusively about Supergroups featuring famous solo artists and band members, along with Offshoots, which are bands that contain the bulk of a previous incarnation of a famous band. We hope that we turn you on to something new.

Songs this week include:

1. Chrome Division – “Till The Break Of Dawn” from Doomsday Rock’n’Roll (2006)
2. Mother’s Army – “Dreamtime” from Mother’s Army (1993)
3. Captain Beyond – “Mesmirization Eclipse” from Captain Beyond (1972)
4. Army Of Anyone – “Father Figure” from Army Of Anyone (2006)
5. Dream Evil - “Save Us” from Dragonslayer (2002)
6. Levee Walkers – “All Things Fade Away (feat. Ayron Jones)” from All Things Fade Away - single (2017)
