October 16, 2023 Episode 462: Tommy Victor - Prong
Podcast Patreon
It's been a while but Tommy Victor is back on the show! In this chat we get down to talking about the new Prong album State Of Emergency pretty quickly which is with good reason. Firstly it is why Tommy is doing a ton of interviews and secondly I want to talk about an album that will almost certainly be in my top five of 2023.
There is also a bit of a good vibes news section that is likely to astound and dumbfound in equal measure. This Is Good News Bollocks.

Support The Fucking Podcast
Miles is back and with lots to tell us all about upcoming Noise Records news. We have a great chat around all things music business, trends in the current climate, metal as a major label imprint and what a nice guy Nikki Sixx is!
Plus the usual round up of news that isn't news and one particular band and booker who would appear to try to be recreating the late 90's. On purpose!

September 15, 2023 Episode: 149 Nige & Heather Of Chupacabra
Give Me Money!
Burn The Clowns Chupacabra is a great track. Myself Nige & Heather discuss all things Chupacabra and their debut EP. From it's inception and writing through lockdown to eventual recording, release and how Nige got involved with D.X. Ferris and the Talkin' Slayer Podcast. There is the usual run through the news in an more unusual way.

August 31, 2023 Episode 148: Kelly Shaefer Till The Dirt & Atheist EXCLUSIVE
Support Podcast Patreon
It's been two years since Kelly and I last had a chance to catch up and a lot has happened. Till The Dirt, is Kelly's "other" band and have just put out their groundbreakingly brilliant debut album but as you will hear nothing is that straight forward. This is a real in depth conversation about every aspect of being in a band. From huge highs to catastrophic lows. Kelly also reveals exclusively for the first time why he had to cancel the Atheist European tour with just a few days notice.
There is also the usual bullshit news real made up of pointless drummers, needless Journey, pompous protest songs, moaning members, no fat bottomed girls and Dave Mustaine.

August 15, 2023 Episode 147: Ol Drake - Evile
Support Podcast Patreon
Ol is back and if you have ever heard of the four Yorkshiremen sketch? Well this is the thrash metal hour long equivalent! Not really BUT we do cover a huge amount of topics during this free-range conversational wander. Of course we cover the new album but we also get to song writing process, singing lessons, hyper focus, ADHD, moaners, the past, the present and the future.
There is a cursory review of the "news", some good, some bad, some devastating and some about a band that has a badger in it.

July 31, 2023 Episode 146: Kev & Matt From The Fierce & The Dead
Support Podcast Patreon
Everything is different as it's an album release episode! News From The Invisible World came out on July 28th and I got to chat all about it with Matt & Kev. We end up discussing a lot more besides as this is a band with a LONG and somewhat complex past hence this is their first album for a very long time and first with vocals! There is lots to talk about.
There is a sort of review of the metal news but it's more an assault on the lack of real news than anything.

July 15, 2023 Episode 145: Music For Nations Label Boss Julie Weir
Support Podcast Patreon
In this episode I get to catch up with all around Metal Label Legend Julie Weir. Not only is Julie responsible for signing the three biggest UK metal bands of the last 30 years but she also now runs the Sony Music imprint Music For Nations. In a free flowing chat we get to cover everything from how the business has evolved and what young bands need to do now through to comparing 80's/90's gig notes and experiences.
There is the usual ransacking of recent "news" stories, some surprising candour and an opportunity to stream a movie on Thunderflix.
