On transmission 9 you'll get the lowdown on 5 albums from 5 decades that span 5 different genres. A bit of a rollercoaster. I dig into the following:

Emperor's "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk"

Marissa Nadler's "July"

Skip Spence's "Oar"

Lene Lovich's "Stateless"

and Ice-T's "Power"

Hope you dig it. As always you can hit me up at [email protected] if you wanna. Otherwise, get down and enjoy the show.

Transmission 8 is a little late getting out, but hey, sometimes life takes precedence, y'know?

This time around we dive into albums from Dolly Parton, The Monks, Black Mountain, Bad Religion and Accept. There's a lot covered and it's rollercoaster of musical styles. Which is great, who doesn't love a rollercoaster.

Check it out. Comments? Leave 'em, or email me at [email protected].

Transmission 7 is loud one so hold on to your balls.

We take a look at Tar, the noisy band from Chicago that played metal guitars (like made of metal, not like shiny black and pointy) and made a huge racket through some pretty little amps.

We reminisce about Sweden's In Solitude, whose third and final LP "Sister" helped usher in the so-called New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal.

We dig into the first Die Kreuzen LP, a rip-roaring and innovative take on American hardcore circa 1984.

And we close things up with an appreciation for the Laughing Hyenas' 1990 masterpiece "Life of Crime".

Albums explored are:

Tar "Solution 8" 7" (1991)

Tar "Clincher" 12" (1993)

Tar "Toast" LP (1993)

Tar "Over and Out LP (1995)

In Solitude "Sister" LP (2013)

Die Kreuzen "Die Kreuzen" LP (1984)

Laughing Hyenas "Life of Crime" LP (1990)

As always you can subscribe via Podomatic, Apple Podcasts, Google Play and Spotify. Cheers!

Transmission 6 of the Songs From The Farside podcast starts with a bang. Or rather a Bl'ast! as we explore 2013's re-release of Northern California's Bl'ast!'s "It's In My Blood". We also dig into the weird world of psychedelia with Bobb Trimble, the grim and sordid world of murder via Nick Cave and The Bad Seed's "Murder Ballads" and the pioneering electronica of Japan's Yellow Magic Orchestra.
