It's Trve. Cvlt. Pop! time again baby! Steve and Sam are back to talk about the week in music. This means there are reviews on new music from In Flames, Young Fathers, Lil Yaughty and Narrow Head, all the gossip from this weeks Grammy ceremony, which means we go "ooh nice!" at wins for Kendrick Lamar and Brandi Carlile and the big 50th anniversary celebration of hip-hop, and "Oh ffs!" at their treatment of metal and ignoring Turnstile, a Healy watch where we fear for the safety of our little Matty as he picks a beef with the Gallagher Brothers and Steve reports back from seeing UK rap superstar in the making Kojey Radical from the tiny confines of a bar in East London. Think that's it...? OH, no, wait, we also talk about series three of the 1987 ITV impression sketch comedy show Copycats again. Admit it, that's why you're really here. 

Welcome you brave soul, to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a popular music podcast, that is about popular music, and is popular. Apparently. This week Sam and Steve are joined by our good friend and Hell Bent for Metal Podcast host Mr. Tom Dare, to look at new music from Fucked Up, Eyes and Sam Smith, who has inspired our entire show this week after the video for their song I'm Not Here To Make Friends boiled the piss of some reactionary fools! 

Is the video REALLY that controversial? Or is Sam Smith just having a lovely time in a corset? We give it some context by looking at some of the most "Shocking" and "appalling" music videos of all time from the likes of Madonna, The Prodigy, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Lil Nas X and... yuk... Cattle Decapitation. Expect blood, blasphemy, incest, violence, sexiness and Nazis... so many bloody Nazis!

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, the finest music podcast in this fair land. On this week's show we are celebrating the 55th birthday of legendary vocalist and auteur of musical anarchy, Mr. Mike Patton. Steve and Sam have picked a few of our favourite, most surprising, most inspiring and most underrated moments from the great man's career to show our love and appreciation for a genuine one off performer. Happy birthday Mike!

Also, we look at new music from Manneskin and XL Life, shrug off the news of Panic! At the Disco's split, laugh at the Black Eyed Peas being forced to reap what they have sown as one of their songs is appropriated by a pooing unicorn, laugh at a hilarious (citation needed) mix up between Matt Heafy and Matt Healy and wonder why a Priest got sent to hell, and why, more importantly, is he livid to hear Rihanna's Umbrella being played down there... that's a real story by the way. Mad.

Hey there, welcome to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the best music podcast in... our own heads. This weeks Sam and Steve are going on a big review binge, as we look at recent releases from VV (Ville Valo to you and I), Belle and Sebastian, King 810, Aiming For Enrike, Obituary and Velvet Negroni. 

There is also a quick chat on the legacy of Screaming Trees in the wake of the passing of founding member Van Connor, a deep dive into the BRIT Award nominations and the controversy surrounding it and there's a couple of ear worms from Italian alt-rockers Flying Disk and 80's pop legends ABC. 

Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a lovely music podcast. This week on the show, since it is exactly 65 years since Johnny Cash recorded his classic live document At Folsom Prison, Sam and Steve are trying to find the finest live album of all time. We have 30 live albums that have either been suggested by you or are just generally considered to be amongst the very best, definitive live albums of all time, plus a pair of wildcard picks from each of our hosts, that have entered into a tournament format and will be whittled down until only one remains, and will be christened at the official Trve. Cvlt. Pop! greatest live album of all time. 

There's also a report of the recent The 1975 show from Steve, and we pay tribute to one of the most influential guitarists of all time after hearing the news of the sad passing of Jeff Beck aged 78.

We here at Trve. Cvlt. Pop! present to you an exclusive piece of bonus content from our Trve. Clvssic. Pop! Patreon page. On this show we are looking at The Fragile, the third full length album from Trent Reznor's industrial legends Nine Inch Nails, released on the 21st of September 1999.

In the first of two parts we look at Reznor's descent in dealing with the aftermath of the success of 1994's The Downward Spiral album. Starting with the debauched and gruelling Self-Destruct tour, his collaboration with David Bowie on his Outside Tour, the stress of producing Marilyn Manson's Antichrist Superstar album, the loss of his Grandmother Clara and how all of these events coalesced into giving Reznor serious writers block and nearly leading him to quitting music altogether. We then look at how he rebuilt his confidence and came up with the concept for The Fragile, before going track by track through the first disc of the album.

The second part is available when you sign up for the £5 a month Trve. Clvssic. Pop! tier at patreon.com/trvecvltpop. 

Hello and welcome to the first Trve. Cvlt. Pop! of 2023. Steve and Sam have had a lovely rest, thanks for asking, although Steve did lose his voice. As you'll hear from the croaky tones he's giving out. 

Still, no time to be ill though! We've got a load of stuff to talk about! There's a review of the latest album from Iggy Pop, we reflect on the sad passing of Faithless' Maxi Jazz and look back at some of the albums that we missed in 2022. It's a right mixed bunch, from Sugababes, Brutus, Big Thief, Neneh Cherry, Leftfield, Scene Queen, Colour TV, Vince Staples, Kai Whiston and Rosalia.

Hello, welcome and merry Christmas. This is our lovely Christmas gift to you from us here at Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, it's the first episode of our new spinoff podcast. It's called Trve. Crvp. Pop! and it is where Steve and Sam dig around the very dregs of the musical landscape and see if we really can name the worst album ever made. 
It's pretty harsh that we're choosing an album that hasn't even been available to listen to for a month yet as our first pick, but, hey, it's Christmas, and we're going to go in fairly hard on the UK's lord of festive fun; Cliff Richard. Cliff at Christmas is the tennis ruining, granny favourite's 46th studio album, and, as you can guess from the title, is a Christmas album, which is not the worst idea, as Cliff has a long history of making top class crimbo bangers like Mistletoe and Wine and Saviours Day. But that was over 30 years ago, and, if the video that he released to beg his fans to buy this album is anything to go by, Cliff is in desperate need of a hit album. Will he get it? Well, Stormzy saw to it that he never got the coveted number one spot, but will Steve and Sam hamme the final nail in to Cliff's coffin? 

Welcome back to the, dare we say it, best music podcast in the world...? Nah, too much. Anyway, it's Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, and we are continuing to look back and review the very best of 2022 with Sam's picks for the best songs, gigs, EP's and, finally, top 20 albums of the year. There's some cracking picks in there U KNO!

Our tribute to The Specials legendary frontman Terry Hall, who passed away yesterday.
