This week we're discussing every album by The Damned from 1977 to 1986. Pioneers of punk (and goth to a degree), The Damned are a band more talented and even more insane than most others. They defined the chaos of first generation punk in the late 70s, yet still managed to put out some of the most legendary albums of the era. Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies, and Brian James, before his departure, left a legacy filled with speed, booze, and countless memorable riffs.

Episode 235: Women
Episode 235
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 • Duration 01:24:45
This week we're discussing every album by Women. From Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Women are a right-down-the-middle-split between indie garage rock and noisy prog rock, with almost nothing in the middle. Made up of Patrick Flegel (guitar, vocals), Matt Flegel (bass, vocals), Mike Wallace (drums), and Christopher Reimer (guitar). The band struggled in their existence, despite their acclaimed second album, Public Strain and broke up due to an onstage fight. Reimer tragically died unexpectedly two years later.
This week we're discussing every album by Magazine. Led by vocalist Howard Devoto and guitarist John McGeoch (before he left to join Siouxsie and the Banshees), Magazine is one of the most underrated punk bands to come out of England in the late 70s. Their style, which was in large part characterized by prominent synths, was unlike any other band at the time. Best of all, the songs still hold up today.
Episode 233: ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
Episode 233
Tuesday, October 7, 2025 • Duration 02:42:57
This week we're discussing every album by ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. Led by core members Conrad Keely and Jason Reece (who both trade off between drums, guitars and vocals), Trail of Dead is one of the most fun and ambitious post-hardcore bands around. And although they have a trademark sound, they've continued to evolve and expand their sound in countless ways. Dig it.

This week we're discussing every album by the completely insane Cardiacs. If you aren't familiar with this band, then you're going to need to take a seat and prepare yourself. Led by the late Tim Smith and his brother Jim, Cardiacs are a prog band like no other in existence. You just have to hear them. Their final album, LSD, was just released after almost 20 years of painstaking writing, recording, and devastating health problems. This is one of our most requested bands and one that will stay with us for years to come.

This week we're discussing every album by Killdozer. Made up of Michael Gerald, and Bill and Dan Hobson, Killdozer is without question one of the funniest sludge metal/noise rock bands in history. Satirical and over the top, but with no shortage of incredibly hard hitting riffs. Easily one of Touch & Go Records' most underrated bands that you should listen to immediately.

This week we're tying up some loose ends by discussing Let God Sort Em Out, the newest album by hip-hop duo Clipse. This is not a reunion we saw coming and to be completely honest, half of the reason we're even covering it is because of how much Mike hates Clipse. (We covered all of their albums on episode 56). However, this album completely surprised us.
This week we're discussing the remaining albums by Sonic Youth. This era covers everything from 1994 until their breakup in 2011. Aside from a couple of exceptions, not many of their most well known albums are in this era, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of worth here. Even though Sonic Youth isn't a band for everyone, they have a style that is unmistakable and continued to push themselves until the very end.
This week we're discussing every album by Placebo. While they can be considered a fairly niche band, Placebo has had massive widespread appeal and success since the mid 90s. However, we call BS on the legitimacy of their albums as the years go on. Needless to say, they're not exactly our band.
This week we're discussing every album by Daniel Striped Tiger. Named after the puppet from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, Daniel Striped Tiger is a ferocious post-hardcore band from Boston. This is the first time Mike and Alex have heard the band and let's just say they were delighted. We might be biased here on this podcast, but this band never went wrong throughout their entire career.
