We’ve been working in the lab late one night when our eyes beheld an eerie sight: Halloween/monster-themed fake bands we haven't discussed yet! So join us for a seasonal romp through "Monster Mash," The Munsters, The Addams Family, Mad Monster Party?, The Groovie Goolies and more!

This week, we celebrate the pinnacle of human evolution: the diva. Ten of the greatest entertainers in the world, roaming among us—Mariah, Whitney, J.Lo, Madonna, Diana Ross, Brandy, Queen Bey, Jennifer Hudson, Barbra, and Lady Gaga. It's the pantheon of divas, all playing fake divas!

We are here to make podcasts metal... We will make everything metal... Blacker than the blackest black, times infinity. We are here to talk about Dethklok and the gory/goofy animated show Metalocalypse.

In this very special episode, we trade jokes for hard-hitting investigations into murderous machinations. It’s time to uncover the sad fate of the Ain’t Rights from Green Room.

Brace yourselves for the biggest, boldest boy band bonanza! Behind every benign ballad and basic beat, these bangin’ boys bring boundless ability, brotherhood, and brilliant bangers that will blow your brains. From backstage banter to breathtaking concerts, behold how these besties bewitch and beguile their beautiful fans with their burning desire to be the best. Buckle up for an unbelievable blast through the bustling, sometimes bumpy world of boy band stardom! Only on The Bocklopedia Bakebandica! 

This week, for the second time, Spinal Tap opened for puppets. In this case, it’s everyone from Lamb Chop, Sifl & Olly, Franklin Delano Bluth, and Madame to lesser-known ones like Randy Feltface, the Weirdos, and the Dregs of Humanity.

The guys at The Rocklopedia Fakebandica take their show on the actual road, where they review the new Spinal Tap sequel from the car minutes after watching. 

Our Spinal Tap days keep rambling on as we prepare for Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, out this weekend!  We’re looking at other fake band mockumentaries, including The Last Polka, Fear of a Black Hat, The Life and Hard Times of Guy Terrifico, and Electric Apricot: Quest for Festeroo.

The Fake Band Hall of Fame. A hallowed institution. Only the deserving few get in. (Except for that episode when we just let anybody in.) But this week’s entries totally deserve it, because we are inducting the legends behind Spinal Tap. 

It’s been 41 years between This Is Spinal Tap and its upcoming sequel. That’s a long time to not be doing anything.  Luckily for us, the band hasn’t been not doing anything, or at least not doing nothing. Not not doing… nothing… let’s try again. We’re discussing Spinal Tap between the movies, and maybe even earlier.

You can feel the excitement in this studio as we finally dive into the greatest fake band ever and the movie that really set into motion all the 41 years of human existence since. It’s time to talk This Is Spinal Tap! Be sure to listen to this one in dubbly!

Every great concert starts with an opening band, and ours is a folk trio that if you squint just the right way, you might think they look like the guys in Spinal Tap.  Oh but they’re so different. So so different. A Mighty Wind is blowin’, and by the end we’re all going to be blown by it. Wait, no.

In honor of the return of the excellent animated sitcom “King of the Hill,” three boys who ain’t right talk about the fake bands that appeared in its first run. 

Panic sets into the RF community when this week’s plans fall through, but one plucky family saves the day!

For our 70th episode, we stand on guard for fake bands from the Great White North. From Newfoundland and Labrador to British Columbia, and all the way up in Nunavut, we bring you fake bands from CODCO, Trailer Park Boys, Les Dévadés, Degrassi High, Less Than Kind, Corner Gas, Crash Canyon, Hard Core Logo, Yvon of the Yukon, and North of North. 

Last week, we gave you 25 bands for all 25 states, But after re-counting the stars on the American flag, it seems we have 25 more states to go. No better time than the present! Join us for Montana through Wyoming!

We put away our hamburgers and French fries and our illegal Peruvian fireworks and celebrate Independence Day the way the founders wanted: by listing out a fake band from each state!

Listen up fives, a ten is here to stand on guard for thee. The Great White North battled The Old North State to be our #1 listening demographic, so now it’s time to talk about either Canadian fake bands or fake musicians from 30 Rock. Who will it be?

Johnny what’s the deal boy, Is your band for real, boy? Real songs about fake musicians named John and Johnny. And you thought we couldn’t be any more niche!

We flip the script this week to talk about real musicians recording real songs. Real songs that just happen to have fake bands in them. From Alexander’s Ragtime Band to Ziggy Stardust, here are some of the best.
