Too Old For This Pit

Our first ever special guest gets up early in California to join us! 

James Lilja is a Gynecological Oncologist, plays drums and sings in Bunko and was an original member of The Offspring. We chat about all kinds of fascinating stuff, like nautical-themed dive bars, the early days of The Offspring, the music therapy trial he's creating with Dexter Holland and how finding a decomposed rat in his house led to the creation of a bizarrely catchy pop song. 

Before James joins us we also dive into a whole raft of personal updates. Graham gets tested for Coronavirus, Kieran gets a dog and we get injured by breathing and cooking waffles.

We're back for our difficult second album!

Join us as we chat about the most pathetic way to injure yourself, eating Chinese food on a professional level, French Disney characters and Kieran's ongoing spider problem.

We look at four bands that have totally changed their sound and review new releases from The Black Dahlia Murder and Enter Shikari. We also travel back to 1992 for this episode's classic album - Rage Against The Machine's self titled record. 

Eff you, we won't do what you tell us.

Join us, Kieran and Graham, for the very first episode of Too Old For This Pit!

We're on a coronavirus lockdown, discussing our glorious teenage years listening to Nu Metal and reviewing new releases from Body Count and Code Orange. Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory is 20 years old, which is supremely depressing, so expect some chat on that. We also talk about our shared hatred of flat pack furniture and spiders. 

Strap yourselves in.

Too Old For This Pit is a humorous dive into the world of alternative music with Graham and Kieran, two 30-something metalheads who now stand at the back of gigs. Expect epic discussions on new releases, hot debates about bands past and present and occasional grown-up banter covering aching backs, screaming toddlers and becoming responsible adults.
