FUNERAL OF POD

Exploring albums released on Ferret Records that were distributed by Roadrunner.

Twelve Tribes' 2004 album "The Rebirth Of Tragedy" is, in many ways, a "rebirth" for tha band themselves. After briefly changing their name to Prodigal Zoo in 2003 and shifting a few key members, they re-emerged with an album that tops everything they'd done before it.

Tha TRAGEDY is that they're not still a band today and probably not given the adulation they deserve for this incredible album. So vocalist Adam Jackson took tha time to run through tha tribal customs that led to these songs and finally answer tha age old question...

Did they name this record after tha Vision of Disorder song?!

Throughout their history Roadrunner Records distributed many other labels in many other countries so it's no surprise that in the mid 2000s Trustkill Records had about 20 albums released and re-released through them.⁣

MEEPISODE 64:

Coming up at tha catalyst of tha U.K.'s home grown trip-hop sound is Baby Fox. Fronted by vocalist Christine Leech who counts co-writing for Madonna on her credits, tha trio is rounded out by emcee Dwight and producer Alex Gray.

Their debut album, tha heavily dub-influenced "A Normal Family" is great but tha follow up in '98 for Roadrunner "DUM DUM BABY" is one of my across-tha-board FAVORITES!

It's like if tha Fight Club soundtrack had your guardian angel singing warnings over it while your false ego is rapping in your ear to roll tha dice. 

We find out all about what led to that dark turn in sound as well as what tha hell a Baby Fox or Dum Dum Baby are on an all new MEEP MEEP... with an intro & outro by Violent J of ICP!
