Unsung Podcast

Chris and Mark have threatened Dave with a Bad Religion episode for years, so we felt it was time to put him out his misery. We decided on a head to head, as the band have so many albums that it’s qu…

You can hear part one here.

Alright, this is where shit gets real. Like really real. This is when our guest and the concept of our podcast collide to create a thing of singular beauty. There is a mee…

It sure took us a wee while to get around to doing another interview, eh? Well, we’re taking steps to resolve that and (hopefully) bring you more in future. The first of those steps is this two parte…

Hey folks. We’ve been away preparing for a series of really cool episodes we’ve got coming, and we thought we’d take a small break from our regular recording schedule to do some research. But fear no…

Many say that alongside Meshuggah, SikTH are one of the forebearers of djent music. A brief listen to this album will suggest that this may be somewhat true, but the influence is probably more appare…

What do Pearl Jam, Marilyn Manson and Miles Davis have in common? Absolutely nothing at all, except that they’re nominated together for our first live album mixtape.

Our three live albums actually sh…

Ah, the fabled live album. It takes guts to do one, and it takes true talent to choose a single gig as opposed to throwing together a compilation of tracks recorded over the course of a tour.

On this…

Our voyage into continuous music comes to a close as we dig into Lubomyr Melnyk’s eighteenth (!) album Corollaries. For the unfamiliar, Melnyk categorises his style as being something almost beyond c…

OH GOOD LORD IT’S ANOTHER TWO PARTER. Maybe we should get better at planning these things…

Anyway. Chris has been chomping at the bit to do this Lubomyr Melnyk album for a while. In fact, some may ev…

Finally, after the extensive preamble, we’re now down to talking about J Dilla’s third album Donuts. Because of the nature of this record, we didn’t break it down track by track as the whole thing fl…

Rarely do we go into an episode thinking it’ll be a two parter. It certainly wasn’t the intention with this one. Yet it turns out there’s rather a lot to say about J Dilla. He was a truly gifted prod…

It’s time for another emergency mixtape, folks! Due to unforeseen circumstances Weaver wasn’t available this week, so as something of a response to what seems like a deluge of people live streaming a…

Doing these two Dillinger Escape Plan episodes was a blast. You can hear part one here, where we spoke about the band’s history, live shows, touring and all of the other albums we’re not covering on…

Aye so at the start of the year we thought we were absolutely capable of make our episodes a bit more concise. We were wrong. Sorta.

One of the few good things to come out of lockdown is that we can …

It’s part two of our PJ Harvey episode, and this week we talk about her fourth album Is This Desire? in full. We get into the flow of the album, how it differs from her other work, and do our usual t…

Chris has been deliberating on which PJ Harvey to pick since before this whole podcast even started. It was a choice so difficult, that he’s had to call in back up in friend of the pod, and resident …

Weaver’s taking us back to France this week, as he gives us the lowdown on 90s house music and we give Daft Punk a good analysis.

It’s difficult to imagine a time when Daft Punk were not one of the b…

After last week’s vote ended in 100% of people agreeing that Mule Variations should go into the discography, we thought we’d return to punk and cover Sing Sing Death House by The Distillers. We also …

It’s difficult to imagine a world without Tom Waits. You may not be a fan, or even at all familiar with his music, but he’s been such a well known cult musical figure for so long that he’s taken on a…

We may very well be doubling down on the post-apocalyptic vibes this week, but it’s apt. So sue us.

This week, we get back on track with Ausserwelt by French post-metal sextet, Year of No Light. Weav…
