- S3-Ep2: BUCKCHERRY - Still Crazy, Bitch!!
This week we crank up the chaos with the gloriously messy story of Buckcherry—the band that gave us strip-club anthems, tattoo-regret soundtracks, and enough sleaze to fill a Sunset Strip dumpster. This band of SoCal hellraisers went from Hollywood hopefuls to gold-record rebels, then crashed, burned, and rose again like a flaming middle finger! We’re talking Josh Todd’s caffeine-and-nicotine charisma, the revolving door of guitar slingers, and how the band managed to outlive most of their critics and their brain cells.

1 hr 11 min - S3-Ep 1: FASTER PUSSYCAT - Live, Loud, & Lewd
Welcome to Season 3, Gutter Rats—this week we’re diving headfirst into the loud, sweaty, gloriously unpolished chaos of a Faster Pussycat concert. Andy and Gary break down the night in all its sleazy glory. Was it a beautiful mess of gutter rock greatness? Hell yeah!! We’re talking setlists, singalongs, crowd shenanigans, and whether Taime Downe is still the coolest guy in the room (spoiler: he is).

52 min - S2-Ep12: Circus Of Power - Call Of The Wild
Circus of Power was the personification of East Coast sleaze rock during the late 80s and early 90s, tearing up the Bowery with a brand of blues-infused, heavy-hitting rock that felt like a punch to the gut. This wasn't some polished, corporate rock outfit; this was the primal sound of a city's underbelly. If you crave your rock 'n' roll served with a side of street grime and a shot of pure, unadulterated swagger, you're in for a treat.

54 min - S2-Ep11: The Hangmen: Too Tough to Die, Too Cool to Care
If you're tired of pretty boys and polished pop, and you crave the raw, visceral energy of bands like The Stooges and The Gun Club, then you're in the right place. The Hangmen delivered a potent cocktail of punk rock attitude, blues rock soul, and hard rock anthems that were raw, ragged, and real as Hell. This is the story of Bryan Small and his band of Rock n Roll lifers. They are the real deal, the antidote to the manufactured shine, and somehow survived every label disaster, lineup change, and hangover that 1980s Hollywood could throw at them.

37 min - S2-Ep10: D-Generation - Middle Fingers and Mascara: The D-Generation Manifesto
This week we’re heading straight into the grimy gutters and neon nightlife of 1990s New York City to pay tribute to the criminally underrated glam-adjacent punk juggernaut: D Generation. Fronted by the ever-charismatic Jesse Malin, these downtown darlings brought sneer, swagger, and sharp songwriting to a scene that didn’t know what hit it. We’ll dive into their CBGB-bred origins, major label misadventures, and how they channeled the spirits of the Dolls, The Dead Boys, and Hanoi Rocks into a sound that was equal parts rebellion and heartbreak. They didn’t just play rock ’n’ roll—they made it feel dangerous again.

52 min - S2-Ep9: Pretty Boy Floyd - Lipstick, Leather & Lawsuits
Ever wonder what you’d get if you mixed hairspray, hedonism, and a healthy dose of delusion? Yeah, neither did we — but here we are. In this episode, we're diving headfirst into a glitter-soaked time capsule bursting with Aqua Net and spectacularly poor life choices, courtesy of... Pretty Boy Floyd. Yep, the Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz who made Poison look like undertakers. Join us as we untangle their MTV “heyday” (did they even have a heyday?), their self-inflicted legal drama, and their gloriously inevitable crash-and-burn.

47 min - S2-Ep8: New York Dolls - Who Are The Mystery Girls??
This week, we stumble into the trash-glam chaos of the legendary New York Dolls. They swaggered into the '70s like drag queens at a biker bar—loud, lewd, and full of attitude! We’re breaking down the gloriously sloppy legacy of these proto-punk pioneers. Before there was punk, there were the Dolls: sloppy, stylish, and too fabulous to ever be forgotten.
Also a special segment dedicated to the late, great David Johansen—frontman, icon, lounge lizard. From his snarling days with the Dolls to his wild rebirth as Buster Poindexter, we celebrate his wild ride from the Bowery to the lounge act circuit, and everything in between.

1 hr 19 min - S2-Ep7: Princess Pang & Betty Blowtorch - The Good, The Bad, and The Blowtorch!!
In the first half of the episode, we explore the world of Princess Pang, the short-lived but unforgettable sleaze rock band that burned bright in the late '80s. With a globe-spanning lineup and a frontwoman who could out-scream, out-strut, and out-rock most of the boys in the biz, Princess Pang hit the scene in the late '80s like a hairspray-fueled tornado. Princess Pang brought a raw, infectious energy to the scene—just as the glam metal wave was beginning to crash.
In the second half of the show, feel the pure DGAF chaos that was Betty Blowtorch—the all-girl band that made Mötley Crüe look like choir boys. We’re talking about the queens behind Are You Man Enough?, the album that that gifted the world with high-octane anthems like “Hell on Wheels,” “I Wanna Be Your Sucker,” and the eternal romantic ballad, “Shut Up and F***.” (If that title didn’t make your mom clutch her pearls, their live shows probably did.)
From Bianca “Butthole” Halstead’s gritty bass lines to their legendary tour van misadventures, Betty Blowtorch didn’t just push boundaries—they set them on fire. We’ll dig into their rise from Butt Trumpet spinoff to full-blown rock cult legends,, their brief but blazing trail through the early 2000s scene, and the tragically short journey of their fearless frontwoman. Betty Blowtorch proved that rock wasn’t just a boys’ club—it was a demolition derby, and they were here to raise hell.

1 hr 15 min - S2-Ep 6: The Hollywood Brats - From Almost-Famous to Absolutely Infamous
Before punk had a mohawk and before glam got glossy, there were The Hollywood Brats—the band that should have been the UK’s answer to the New York Dolls but ended up as rock ‘n’ roll’s best-kept secret. In this episode, we dive into the sneering, swaggering, and spectacularly doomed career of the Brats, a group so ahead of their time they practically time-traveled into obscurity.
From their reckless fashion choices to their run-ins with music industry apathy, we’ll unpack why their lone album (recorded in ’73, ignored until ’79) still sounds like a Molotov cocktail wrapped in leopard print. Were they glam? Proto-punk? Just really bad at networking? Tune in as we separate myth from mayhem and give The Hollywood Brats their belated street cred—though, let’s be real, they’d probably prefer a pint and a punch-up.

40 min - S2-Ep5: Spread Eagle: Scratch Like A Cat
In the late ‘80s, when rock ‘n’ roll was drowning in hairspray and excess, Spread Eagle crashed the party like a steel-toed boot to the face. These guys weren’t just another glam band—they were the leather-clad, gutter-born antidote to the genre’s pretty-boy polish. While glam bands were busy primping, these NYC bruisers were cranking out raw, razor-sharp street metal that sounded like it crawled out of a back alley with a switchblade and a bad attitude.
In this episode, we dive into the band’s criminally underrated legacy. Were they too gritty for the glam crowd? Too sleazy for grunge? Or just the right band at the wrong time? Either way, Spread Eagle proved that sleaze metal wasn’t all lipstick and lace—it had teeth.
