Unsung Podcast

This week we are delighted to welcome back our good pal Kapil Seshasayee as he talks about his upcoming album, his latest single and how this particular album by Lithuanian-American musician Vyto B w…

There’s probably not many podcast out there that would happily slam Meat Loaf, Oasis, Madonna and Cyndi Lauper together over the course of an episode, but that’s just what we do here at Unsung. And t…

Last week we said we were going to to Lil Kim but we’ve been unable to wrangle together the people needed to tackle it, so we’ve decided to launch a brand new feature instead called Intros.

The idea …

Much like last week, a warning before we begin: this episode contains the discussion of some fairly charged and unpleasant topics, including some deplorable ideas and music. Please be aware in advanc…

Your favourite Poundland album review show is BACK and we have quite the selection for you on this episode. The lads have gifted each other with the following three albums:

Mark has Alisha Rules the …

We promised to make our covermount episodes a recurring feature and we are here to make good on that promise. This week Crag joins us again and we’re talking about a “collection” that was included wi…

We’re men of our word. As we look to clear all of our outstanding commitments from our old Patreon model (info on the new one - the Unsung Record Club - can be found here), there was one album we wer…

Dads of the world, UNITE! How do you follow the Beach Boys? Well, apparently it’s by covering Electric Light Orchestra. Going from one grandad band to one dad band seems to make a crude kind of sense…

Whether pretending to be surfers and getting slapped with fines from the manager for swearing or cavorting with transcendental meditation and falling out with one another, The Beach Boys were never q…

Did you know that The Beach Boys have 29 studio albums, 11 live albums and a staggering 61 compilation records? Before we agreed to do their 16th(!!!) album Sunflower at Vicki’s behest, we knew it wa…

We’ve called this episode “The Covermount Mixtape” for now, but it hasn’t escaped us that a covermount essentially IS a mixtape, only one that was put together by magazines (with what is probably a f…

Some time ago we threatened to do an episode on covermount CDs. For Chris, Dave and many, many other teenagers, the covermount CDs found bundled with copies of Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, NME and numerou…

All genres are littered with bands that somebody somewhere thinks are unsung. Some are unsung because they influenced other, more successful acts, whereas there are artists that are unsung because th…

We loved the last Sound is a Pound so much that we thought we’d go away and record another. You know the drill - each of us goes into a Poundland and buys two albums for £1 then “gifts” them to the o…

Are InMe an unsung band? Is Overgrown Eden a forgotten classic? Well…you can make up your own mind on that.

Us? We’ve certainly made up our mind. In fact, we’re not even going to bother playing coy w…

We’ve taken a week off this week because we had a bunch of admin stuff to catch up with at Unsung HQ, but we will return next week with something real fun. This week we thought unlock a Patreon bonus…

Ah, electronica, how we have missed thee. This week we’re talking about the debut Factory Floor album and Chris gets to wondering why he like this album in the first place.

Are they a minimal wave ba…

Hello, Unsungers! We hope you had an excellent festive season. We’ve been hyping some changes to the subscription levels for a few months. So here goes.

We feel that via our extended musical family (…

In the legendarium of hardcore and post-hardcore, there are a whole slew of bands that are arguably unsung. The big hitters are pretty obvious, right? Your Black Flags, Bad Brains, Husker Dus, Fugazi…
