  • #307 Sonny's Hot Load (of missed radness) and Boundaries

    This week on the show Sonny has a bag of missed radness to empart upon us all that is VERY strong - but before that we must observe the release of Yearning: The Unbeautiful After by one of our favourite bands as a podcast... Boundaries

    does it hold up? Have they sold out? Is the production actually THAT bad? ALL is discussed

    we also enjoy No Cure whilst drinking a beer which feels a bit naughty to be honest but what are  you gonna do?

    then Sonny's missed radness comes from Verdun, Yersin, Chaosphere, Skinsewnshut and Hot Load

    then the WHEEL OF RIFFS gifted us a delight in the form of Messy, Isn't It? from the cult heroes Dangers, another FANTASTIC spin from the wheel

    if you wanna discuss anything we talked about on the show or submit your WHEEL OF RIFFS recommendation then come on down and join us in the Discord, the funnest place on the internet to worship the riff

  • #304 Hot Riff Time Machine #1 - 2011
    Welcome back everyone to another lovely episode, this week we partake in our inaugural episode of our new feature "Hot Riff Time Machine" where we look back at a year in musical history and chat about some of the albums we loved from that year
    we decided to look at 2011 as our first foray - this was picked completely randomly but worked out pretty well as it was actually the year that Sonny and Gary became best friends!
    we looked at 3 albums that we each loved from that year, a couple of records we hated, Sonny found a VERY strange record from that year and then we also took suggestions from the lovely folks over in the Discord
    if you want to be part of the fun for the next episode maybe join the Discord!
    and if you wanna support the show follow us on one of the many annoying and stupid social media platforms that exist or hit subscribe on your podcast catcher of choice (or check out our Youtube page which is currently a bit on the dormant side but will be re-invigorated soon!)
