On this episode we're talking about the dark side of David Bowie's career in the 70s. Specifically we'll talk about his dalliance with fascism with the thin white duke persona, and his involvement with the "baby groupies" Lori Maddox and Sable Starr.

This week we're talking about the 80s one album wonder (well, one hit wonder really) Scandal and taking a good look at the fascinating career of their singer Patty Smyth.

On this episode we're taking a good hard look at why artists are leaving Spotify, why doing so is not quite as clear cut as you think it is, how technofedualism has us all enmeshed in systems that prop up the military industrial complex, and how the only real solution is simply to support the artists you love.

This week we're looking at the life of singer of the certified banger "Goodbye Horses". A super talented musician who just never quite seemed to have the chips fall in her favour, Q Lazzarus' life was equal parts inspiring and tragic.

This week we revisit and old episode about Rick Derringer's Real American, and explore the history of the song, its political afterlife, and its more recent uses. Before asking - is this the best wrestling song of them all?

Panetra are due to support Metallica in what is undoubtedly the biggest tour of 2026. But given his dubious past, should he really be given a platform so large? Why have people seemingly forgotten all about his questionable history? In this week, we lay out the facts of his past.

In this episode we continue our fine tradition of discussion topics that meet in the overlap between tech and music, as we discuss AI band The Velvet Sundown. We talk about how they fooled Spotify, stand to potentially make £35k+ annually, and what this means for the future of music.

This week we conclude our anti-rock trilogy by finally discussing the whole reason we decided to go down this rabbit hole in the first place - the bizarre American (anti)rock act, US Maple.

Part two of our anti-rock series takes into 1970s New York, where Brian Eno stumbles upon No Wave, puts together a compilation and inadvertently brings a whole new genre to prominence. One that is still hugely influential to this day.

What is anti-rock? And why can't Google give you the answer? Is it even a genre?

This week we get down to what anti-rock actually means.

This week we're talking about the music of Emma Ruth Rundle, before circling back to her third album Marked for Death. We also pose an important question: is she gothic rock?

This week we're talking about how one post rock band traded in their guitars (sorta) for synthesisers and how the results were remarkable.

This week we dissect the legendary Kerrang! cover-mount CD curated by Amen's Casey Chaos in 2002 - a proper education in underground extremity that introduced a generation to everything from Swedish post-hardcore and Norwegian black metal to OG punk and Nottingham sludge. Twenty years later, they're finally realising just how much this compilation schooled them.

This week our pal Joe McGlynn takes us into the world of Immortal Technique.

We're getting proper unsung this week as Chris takes into the discography of the Italian post-punk/new wave/krautrock band Krisma. And things take some very interesting turns indeed.

In part two of our interview with Arno Michaelis we chat about right wing ideology and symbolism, covering everything from conspiracy theories to Tolkien and much more. We also hear about the moment that made Arno decide to reckon with the legacy of hate he left behind with Centurion, and how it made him decide to be a force for good.

This week and next we're joined by a very special guest - Arno Michaelis, a former member of a neo-Nazi skinhead gang and ex-frontman of the white supremacist band Centurion. In part one Arno discusses his transformation from a hate-filled youth to an advocate for peace.

From their self-titled 2002 debut to their thirteen-year recording gap between Old Crows/Young Cardinals and Otherness, we chart how these three-vocalist pioneers grew from angsty screamers to proper musicians with something to say.

This week, we’re talking about Julie Christmas – a woman whose voice could peel paint off the walls one moment and tuck you into bed the next.
