Which country has produced better rock bands – the United States or the United Kingdom?

In this episode, RPM’s Jeff Nolan is joined by English gadfly Josh Weller of London-based punk band the Kenneths. Jeff presents the case for U.S. bands; Josh rebuts his arguments.

For the sake of the discussion, the boys kept the focus on “classic” bands – nothing after 1990. Enjoy the inane banter of two unapologetic nerds as they listen to some of the best rock ‘n’ roll these two countries ever produced.

In this episode of the Revolutions per Minute podcast, our man in the U.K. – Josh Weller – sits down with Mumford & Sons bassist Ted Dwane for an insightful, irreverent and enlightening interview about his influences, his process and why his mother had to explain to him that a homemade cardboard guitar simply wouldn’t have the structural integrity to function as a proper instrument.

This is a good one. Enjoy…
