THE KINGS attempt an INTRODUCTORY examination of a band everybody's heard of, but not everybody has ever listened to, and even fewer people have really REALLY listened to a lot . The brainchild of DAVE BROCKIE (RIP), with roots in Virginia's hardcore punk scene and their impact extending far beyond that scene. Includes some DEATH PIGGY as well. Apologies for this incoherent episode summary, i just woke up .. .i think this episode is a fun one though - JAke Razor

THE KOPPOD Troika tackles another trio, a trio of true titans... New York City's THE BEASTIE BOYS. Part 1 begins with the BEASTIES roots as a hardcore punk band (back when they weren't a trio actually), moves on to their controversial (and influential) 'Licensed to Ill' period of collaboration with Professor Doctor Richard Rubin, and concludes with analysis of the groundbreaking 'Paul's Boutique'. Part 2 coming soon for PAID SUBSCRIBERS.

Shout out to KINGPIN tier subscribes NoiseofVarrich and G., since we forgot to mention that in episode i think.
