Married to the Noise: 10 Bands That Led Me Into the Heavy Music Underground

But they weren’t the first, and they definitely weren’t the only band in rotation back then. In this episode, I’m diving into some of the most nostalgic heavy bands from that era—the ones that pulled me out of the punk rock scene and led me deeper into the underground.
