Unsung Podcast

Very rarely do the stars align on this podcast. Indeed, given Mark’s absence this week due a scheduling conflict, it’s possible that you could call this another case of the stars failing to align. Ho…

As fascinating as Lil Kim’s career is, what is also fascinating is the way her music helped to bring female sexuality “into the mainstream”. In part two of our deep dive into her career, we look a li…

We were supposed to do this episode months ago but we just couldn’t get someone with more than on X chromosone in the room. Once we asked our latest guest host Marisa if she fancied joining us though…

History is littered with bands that went “experimental” for one album and then broke up after said album. A lot of the time, fans and press assume that the reasons for that are simply because they co…

If you were wondering why we had a small break last week and teased you with some of the sweet bonus content our subs get (which you can get access to by signing up at www.patreon.com/unsungpod - sta…

After the EPIC Nina Nastasia two parter we decided take a wee week off. So this week so we’ve gone deep into our catalogue of bonus content and unearthed the next episode in a series that we’re calli…

It got pretty heavy last week, and whilst we’re not apologising for covering such weighty topics, we do understand that some levity is required. In the form of a mighty two hour opus about Nina Nasta…

This week we have the first of two episodes on Nina Nastasia, as we go deep into her career, decision to vanish from the public eye, recent events and much, much more.

It’s been a wee while since we …

Once, a little while ago, Chris, Dave and Mark decided to review their first ever demos. Soon after we asked people to send this their first demos so that we could have a wee listen and (probably) a …

With Chris off on tour and Mark having just returned from holidays, we needed to do something fast that didn’t require a lot of research. Mark also had to find a host because, for the first time ever…

With Chris now off on tour with his rather excellent band, Outblinker, we decided to split our Diamanda Galas episode into two as both of the bois were passing each other like ships in the night this…

Taking a canter through the career of a band is often one of the best and most enlightening things about doing this podcast, and we hope it’s something you appreciate too. In fact, we know it is, cau…

A couple of weeks ago we joked that we had been cancelled. We haven’t (to our knowledge), but it did lead us to ponder - can we talk about a cancelled band? How would people react to that? And which …

It’s crazy to think that this music went unheard for so long, and only properly came to the public’s attention in the late 00s. One listen to Death tells you that they had all the ideas that punk ban…

We’re back in superground territory (?) this week as Mark brings the debut album by mysterious, psuedo-anonymous screamo band United Nations.

Fronted (at least, on most of the songs, albums and live …

Ok so the title is more or less a con - we’re not cancelled (we think?!) - but as an increasing number of artists we like/are aware of get cancelled (or in some cases - don’t even though they probabl…

Your favourite dynamic duo return for the second week in a row as we chat about the soundtrack for Kevin Smith’s debut film, Clerks.

This idea came to Chris at about a day’s notice, but it did give u…

From the mind of one auteur to another - this week things get a little darker and introspective as we discuss It’s a Wonderful Life, the third album by Sparklehorse.

The career trajectory of Sparkleh…
