Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! it's a music podcast u kno. Where else could we go this week?... well, anywhere we wanted really, but we choose to spend the episode talking about one of the biggest music stories in forever; the reformation of Oasis after 16 years away. Will it work out? Who will be in the band with Liam and Noel? Who will support them? We pose all the questions.

Plus, is it the biggest reunion of all time? Well, we'll dive into that too, picking some of the most shocking, surprising, successful and famous reunions in music's history and comparing them to the madness we've seen this week.

Welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a Shaggy Podcast... well, a music podcast, but this week Shaggy plays a HUGE part in the show.

He's not totally dominant though, although... look it's a lot of Shaggy. But Steve and Gaz look at a recent article proclaiming the 25 most overrated albums of all time and see if the criticism holds up. Plus there is a report of a recent show in Gent by returning death metal heroes The Black Dhalia Murder. It WAS us actually.

Hello. Steve went to Glastonbury and he is suffering after it, but, the trooper, he is here to review the whole festival for you here now.

It's time for another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, the music podcast for fans of Lizzo AND Rammstein! Imagine that! This week Sam and Steve have been delighted to see that particular crossover happen, unlike some folks on the internet. We're happy with that, and we're also happy to be reviewing the latest releasing from the likes of Gorillaz, Zulu, Algiers, Full of Hell and Primitive Man, Shame and Rebecca Black. 

Also, Sam's been listening to loads of Melvins when he's not been bullied by Steve to put on the, nearly, ten minute long version of People Hold On by Coldcut featuring Lisa Stanfield. It's GOOD FOR MORALE!

Yes, yes, it is us, you're right! It's Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a couple of bloody lads talking about bloody music! Steve and Sam have had a hell of a week, if you're asking, with Sam going to see Gojira, Alien Weaponry and Employed to Serve in Nottingham and Steve... erm... not really knowing specifically why everyone is annoyed with Matty Healy again.

They've also been listening to new music from a bunch of cracking artists, and we review the latest releases from Code Orange, P!nk, Hundred Reasons, Orbital, Host and Erase Theory. Plus chat about a pair of bangers from stoner rock legends Red Fang and underrated new wave heroes XTC.

HEAR ME NOW! It's another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! and this week Steve and Sam have got reggae on the brain as they talk about a load of early 90's reggae classics for no reason other than Steve's recent appearance on the excellent Pop Collaborate and Listen podcast episode about Chaka Demus and Pliers. They talk about it (for too long if we're honest) about the silly pair, before turning their attention to The BRIT's, Gojira's merch prices, U2's Vegas residency and the sad news of the passing of Trugoy the Dove of De La Soul.

We also review some excellent new music from Paramore, Caroline Polachek and Jessica Winter.

Here we go! It's only bloody Trve. Crvp. Pop! the spin off podcast of us here at Trve. Cvlt. Pop! where we try and find the very worst album ever made by anyone EVER! You might recall us giving you the lovely Christmas gift of Cliff at Christmas... er... at Christmas, last year. We mentioned in that episode that there are over 80 albums that have already been ranked previously by Steve, and now Sam has arrived it is his chance to have his say on the albums (that he's actually listened to, the mad GHETT!) and re-rank our work to reflect our tastes more accurately, before we get going again and start giving the worst music ever a bleddy good kicking! So that's what this is. We'll be back with another stinker soon. CHEERS!!!!!

It's Trve. Cvlt. Pop! time again baby! Steve and Sam are back to talk about the week in music. This means there are reviews on new music from In Flames, Young Fathers, Lil Yaughty and Narrow Head, all the gossip from this weeks Grammy ceremony, which means we go "ooh nice!" at wins for Kendrick Lamar and Brandi Carlile and the big 50th anniversary celebration of hip-hop, and "Oh ffs!" at their treatment of metal and ignoring Turnstile, a Healy watch where we fear for the safety of our little Matty as he picks a beef with the Gallagher Brothers and Steve reports back from seeing UK rap superstar in the making Kojey Radical from the tiny confines of a bar in East London. Think that's it...? OH, no, wait, we also talk about series three of the 1987 ITV impression sketch comedy show Copycats again. Admit it, that's why you're really here.

Welcome you brave soul, to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a popular music podcast, that is about popular music, and is popular. Apparently. This week Sam and Steve are joined by our good friend and Hell Bent for Metal Podcast host Mr. Tom Dare, to look at new music from Fucked Up, Eyes and Sam Smith, who has inspired our entire show this week after the video for their song I'm Not Here To Make Friends boiled the piss of some reactionary fools! 

Is the video REALLY that controversial? Or is Sam Smith just having a lovely time in a corset? We give it some context by looking at some of the most "Shocking" and "appalling" music videos of all time from the likes of Madonna, The Prodigy, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Lil Nas X and... yuk... Cattle Decapitation. Expect blood, blasphemy, incest, violence, sexiness and Nazis... so many bloody Nazis!

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, the finest music podcast in this fair land. On this week's show we are celebrating the 55th birthday of legendary vocalist and auteur of musical anarchy, Mr. Mike Patton. Steve and Sam have picked a few of our favourite, most surprising, most inspiring and most underrated moments from the great man's career to show our love and appreciation for a genuine one off performer. Happy birthday Mike!

Also, we look at new music from Manneskin and XL Life, shrug off the news of Panic! At the Disco's split, laugh at the Black Eyed Peas being forced to reap what they have sown as one of their songs is appropriated by a pooing unicorn, laugh at a hilarious (citation needed) mix up between Matt Heafy and Matt Healy and wonder why a Priest got sent to hell, and why, more importantly, is he livid to hear Rihanna's Umbrella being played down there... that's a real story by the way. Mad.

Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a lovely music podcast. This week on the show, since it is exactly 65 years since Johnny Cash recorded his classic live document At Folsom Prison, Sam and Steve are trying to find the finest live album of all time. We have 30 live albums that have either been suggested by you or are just generally considered to be amongst the very best, definitive live albums of all time, plus a pair of wildcard picks from each of our hosts, that have entered into a tournament format and will be whittled down until only one remains, and will be christened at the official Trve. Cvlt. Pop! greatest live album of all time. 

There's also a report of the recent The 1975 show from Steve, and we pay tribute to one of the most influential guitarists of all time after hearing the news of the sad passing of Jeff Beck aged 78.

We here at Trve. Cvlt. Pop! present to you an exclusive piece of bonus content from our Trve. Clvssic. Pop! Patreon page. On this show we are looking at The Fragile, the third full length album from Trent Reznor's industrial legends Nine Inch Nails, released on the 21st of September 1999.

In the first of two parts we look at Reznor's descent in dealing with the aftermath of the success of 1994's The Downward Spiral album. Starting with the debauched and gruelling Self-Destruct tour, his collaboration with David Bowie on his Outside Tour, the stress of producing Marilyn Manson's Antichrist Superstar album, the loss of his Grandmother Clara and how all of these events coalesced into giving Reznor serious writers block and nearly leading him to quitting music altogether. We then look at how he rebuilt his confidence and came up with the concept for The Fragile, before going track by track through the first disc of the album.

The second part is available when you sign up for the £5 a month Trve. Clvssic. Pop! tier at patreon.com/trvecvltpop.

Hello and welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a music podcast. On this weeks show, Steve and Gaz are pitting songs against each other in a fight to the death (well... a polite discussion actually) as to what is the definitive anthem of a certain subgenre. So, what is the definitive thrash rager, the song that encapsulates the spirit of UK punk rock, the song most likely to get your Auntie on the dancefloor, the ultimate defiant pride anthem or the winner of the battle of Brit-pop? This and more is discussed, just for fun like, they don't win anything.

Also, Dave Grohl had a pop at Taylor Swift, Swifties reacted in a totally normal and measured way as per, Steve saw Nile Rogers and Sophie Ellis Bextor together, with the pair of them trying to play every single famous song ever made, and we look back at a lost tune from UK grebo legends EMF's post-Unbelievable career, when they tried to go all Faith No More! OH YEAH!!!

Hello and welcome to the first Trve. Cvlt. Pop! of 2023. Steve and Sam have had a lovely rest, thanks for asking, although Steve did lose his voice. As you'll hear from the croaky tones he's giving out. 

Still, no time to be ill though! We've got a load of stuff to talk about! There's a review of the latest album from Iggy Pop, we reflect on the sad passing of Faithless' Maxi Jazz and look back at some of the albums that we missed in 2022. It's a right mixed bunch, from Sugababes, Brutus, Big Thief, Neneh Cherry, Leftfield, Scene Queen, Colour TV, Vince Staples, Kai Whiston and Rosalia.

Hello, welcome and merry Christmas. This is our lovely Christmas gift to you from us here at Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, it's the first episode of our new spinoff podcast. It's called Trve. Crvp. Pop! and it is where Steve and Sam dig around the very dregs of the musical landscape and see if we really can name the worst album ever made. 
It's pretty harsh that we're choosing an album that hasn't even been available to listen to for a month yet as our first pick, but, hey, it's Christmas, and we're going to go in fairly hard on the UK's lord of festive fun; Cliff Richard. Cliff at Christmas is the tennis ruining, granny favourite's 46th studio album, and, as you can guess from the title, is a Christmas album, which is not the worst idea, as Cliff has a long history of making top class crimbo bangers like Mistletoe and Wine and Saviours Day. But that was over 30 years ago, and, if the video that he released to beg his fans to buy this album is anything to go by, Cliff is in desperate need of a hit album. Will he get it? Well, Stormzy saw to it that he never got the coveted number one spot, but will Steve and Sam hamme the final nail in to Cliff's coffin?

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING! It's a special emergency Trve. Cvlt. Pop! podcast. Steve and Sam were rocked, excited and delighted when one of the finest voices in UK hip-hop, Little Simz, announced that she was releasing her 5th album, and the follow up to last years spectacular, award winning Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, NO THANK YOU with pretty much no fanfare at all.

It may have fucked up our album of the year lists, but we wanted to give you our thoughts on a record that marks the third collaboration with producer Inflo, and lyrically looks at the stresses and trials of her recent success and how the music industry isn't built for keeping keeping your mental health in a positive place. It's more instant and more to the point musically than her previous work, but does it match those heady heights? We think we've got a pretty good idea.

BLUE ARMY! Hello there, and welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, the best music podcast in the world... so we say. This week the World Cup starts... which is a bit bizarre, but we thought we would get in on the act and talk about the relationship between football and music. Steve knows all about the game, Sam probably calls it soccer, THE IDIOT, so we needed another voice to help us through, and who better to join us than frontman of Therapy? and massive Chelsea fan Andy Cairns.

We look at 8 pre-tournament tunes to see if they hold up to musical scrutiny, from New Order, Baddiel and Skinner, Black Grape, Collapsed Lung, Fat Les, Ant and Dec, Dizzee Rascal and the England World Cup squad (on numerous occasions)... oh, and, yeah, James Corden as well. FFS. 

There's also talk of a few songs we've been loving this week, from Mina Caputo, Letlive and Girls in Synthesis. Plus Steve reports of Biffy and Architects big London show at the O2, and a much more intimate affair at Gang of Youths.

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the music podcast. On this weeks show Steve and Gaz discuss the recent Download Festival, a fest that was filled with trouble; terrible music, bands pulling out, sponsors being chased off and all manner of problematic musicians on the bill. It wasn't all bad though, and there are a few great sets that took place over the weekend... was any of it as good as Steve seeing Confidence Man in Brighton though? That's a rhetorical question. There's a review of that as well.

We also talk about the Paul McCartney UK tour... consisting of just two cities in the UK. And we look back at a rager from 80's sophisti-pop crew Living in a Box that is NOT the song Living in a Box. Nice.

Gaz is caught up at work, so luscious Sam Sleight stands in for him, and rather than do what we were originally going to do, we have decided to dedicate this week's show to Steve Albini, the legendary guitarist, frontman and producer, responsible for some of our collectively favourite records of the last 40-odd years. Steve and Sam pick three albums from the man to show why he was such a legend and talk about the influence and qualities that made him so revered.

Great.

What would we have spoken about if there was one back in those years? Well, let us tell you. We head back to 2015 and motor all the way up to 2022, to pick one album from each year that we feel we would have gone mad for if we had been doing the podcast at that time. 

Expect pure jazz, heartland indie punk, stadium pop, experimental rap, classic house, synthwave and more.

Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, on this weeks episode we look at movie scores. It was the Oscars a few week back, with Oppenheimer winning the coveted best score award at the ceremony, and so we have decided to dedicate this episode to looking at what makes a great score, rather than soundtrack, in the movie world. We chat about everything from 60's free jazz improv, groundbreaking early synth, the rise of immersive D&B and electro scores and more, including chat about everyone from Daft Punk to John Williams, Tangerine Dream to Danny Elfman and... er... the Police Academy score.

There's also live reports from recent shows in London by The Chemical Brothers and Young Fathers, plus we look at a lost classic from "troubled" UK reggae sensation Finlay Quaye.

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a pop music podcast... not this week though! Steve and Gaz have decided to dig deep into the underground and discuss some of the best extreme metal releases of 2024. We take a look at recent albums from Ihsahn, Job For a Cowboy, Brat, Crippling Alcoholism and Darkest Hour, plus we have a quick listen to some of your shouts for extreme metal bangers.

We also shout out a lost classic from Brit-pop-punks from the early 2000's Crackout and pay our respects to the late Karl Wallinger of World Party and The Waterboys.

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! where we are delighted to be joined by James, AKA Brit-Pop Memories, on the show for a second time. This week we look at the raft of new releases by former Brit-pop glories that have already come out this year and muse on why it is that there appears to be such an appetite for these bands now in 2024. We look at four new releases (and 2 UK number one albums) from Liam Gallagher and John Squire, Shed Seven, Cast and Kula Shaker and see if they have rolled back the years and made albums worthy of their legacy.

There's also chat about a Trve. Lvst. Pop! classic from The Real People and live reports from recent shows by Greg Puciato at the Garage and the Knocked Loose and Deafheaven double header at the Forum in London.

Hey you, welcome back to another top quality episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! On this weeks episode we would like to introduce you to a NEW voice on the show; our brand new correspondent all the way from the other side of the world, the lovely Alasdair Belling. Who will be poppping up here and there to give us the lowdown on what's happening in the Australian music scene. 

As a way to get us going Alasdair has picked what he believes are the 10 most essential, important and definitive albums released by Australian artists since the start of the 2010's (and one a little bit before that actually). We also talk about last weeks BRIT Award ceremony (Kylie won the Global Icon Award, so we're keeping it on brand) and share the news that one of our favourite British hardcore bands, Palm Reader, are calling it a day... there's no Antipodean link there I'm afraid. Sorry about that.
