| Episode 582-INXS-ELEGANTLY WASTED | 11 Sep 2026 | 02:08:43 | |
This week on America’s Podcast, we’re heading back to 1997 and talking about the final INXS studio album recorded with the legendary Michael Hutchence — Elegantly Wasted. Joining us is Free Form family member Eric Lussier, and we’ve got one big question: Is Elegantly Wasted a lost classic of the ’90s? Was this an album that deserved WAY more attention than it got? How does it stand up against the classic INXS records? And knowing this would become Michael Hutchence’s final album with the band, does hearing it today hit completely fucking differently? Oh, we’ve got opinions. 😂🤘 We discuss. We disagree. We argue. We agree. Then somebody probably disagrees with the thing we just agreed about. You know… basically a normal episode of Free Form Rock Podcast. 🤣 But that’s ALL you’re getting. NO FUCKING SPOILERS. You’ll have to listen and find out where everybody lands on Elegantly Wasted. 🎵 TRACKS OF THE WEEK 🔥 Andy: Crowded House — “Don’t Dream It’s Over” 🔥 Mooger: Iconic — “Cry No More” 🔥 Jerry: Matchbox Twenty — “3AM” 🔥 Eric: Steve Creep and the Wildcards — “Black Leather” 🔥 Marc: Midnight Oil — “Beds Are Burning” And while you’re here, don’t just listen to us — COME WATCH THE DAMN SHOW! 😂📺🤘 Subscribe to the Free Form Rock Podcast YouTube channel and watch the faces behind all the arguments, agreements, questionable opinions, assorted bullshit, and general Free Form shenanigans.

| Episode 581-YES -Aurora | 04 Sep 2026 | 02:47:19 | |
This week on America’s Podcast, we dive into the new YES album, Aurora with Free Form family member Joseph Staub!
No Jon Anderson. No Chris Squire. So the big fucking question is: Can this version of YES deliver an album that stands up alongside their classic albums, or does Aurora fail to live up to that legendary YES name? Let’s just say there’s a HUGE debate on this episode. 😂🔥 Everybody has an opinion, everybody has something to say, and nobody is backing down. But we’re giving you NO SPOILERS!

This week on America’s Podcast, we’re joined by family member Travis Perrotta as we dive into Bob Seger’s legendary 1976 album, Night Moves!

This week on America’s Podcast, we’re getting hot and heavy with Y&T’s Ten… and yes, family member Travis Perrotta is joining us for the ride. Some of us think Ten is one of the most criminally underrated albums to come out of the early ‘90s. Others? Well… let’s just say they’re not exactly ready to put a ring on it. 😏 Is Ten a forgotten gem that’s just waiting to seduce your ears? Or should it stay locked away in the bargain bin, collecting dust? The gloves come off, the opinions fly, and the rock ‘n’ roll gets loud.

| Episode 575-Testament-The Ritual | 17 Jul 2026 | 02:12:51 | |
This week on America’s Podcast, Marc is joined by family member Tim Wirasnik and a familiar voice who’s basically already a co-host, Andy Rodriguez! (Officially, that title wouldn’t come for a few more episodes, but let’s be honest… he already earned it.) This week we tackle Testament’s The Ritual and ask the question: Is it a true metal classic, or is it… Disney Metal? Yeah, we went there! The debate gets spirited as we break down the album, its place in Testament’s catalog, and whether it still holds up today. Along the way, we take a side trip into an interesting discussion about how Metallica helped shape and grow heavy metal, but that’s all we’re giving away. No more spoilers—you’ll have to listen to hear the rest!

This week on America’s podcast, we dive into a band that inspired a whole generation of punk, pop-punk, and “I swear I can still fit into my old leather jacket” bands — Social Distortion and their classic album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell. It’s just the Three Amigos on this episode — brothers in podcasting and brothers in surviving questionable music takes. No family members this week… so things might actually stay on track for once.

| Episode 556-Diamond Head-Lightning to the Nations | 29 May 2026 | 02:06:09 | |
This Week on America’s Podcast, we crank up the volume and dive headfirst into Lightning to the Nations by Diamond Head — the album that helped inspire a generation of thrash metal bands to pick up guitars, grow their hair out, and scare the neighbors! But here’s the big question: Is it a true NWOBHM classic… or were the cover versions by other bands actually better? Uh oh… somebody hide the comment section! To help settle the debate (or make it even more chaotic), we bring in family members Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez. No spoilers, but let’s just say opinions fly around faster than a double bass drum beat after three energy drinks. Tracks of the Week

| Episode 565-The Eagles-Hotel California | 22 May 2026 | 02:51:02 | |
This week on America’s Podcast, we dive headfirst into the sun-soaked, slightly shady, totally legendary world of California as we review one of the greatest bands and albums of all time—Eagles and their iconic Hotel California. Yeah, yeah… we know there’s always that guy who says he doesn’t like them, but we’re putting it all on the table. No spoilers—just vibes, opinions, and probably a few “wait… this song rules” moments. We’ve got Free Form family members Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez joining us, so you know things are gonna get interesting. We’ll light up some “colitas,” try to stab it with our steely knives (results may vary), and maybe take a ride down Life in the Fast Lane… all without spoiling the verdict. 🎧 Tracks Of The Week:

| Episode 564-Extreme Six | 15 May 2026 | 02:34:21 | |
This week on America’s Podcast, we dive into a band that somehow gets more side-eye than a gas station sushi tray—and honestly, we’re not having it. We’re talking about Extreme and their long-awaited album Six. A ridiculously talented band with a killer vocalist and a guitarist who could probably outplay your Wi-Fi connection on a bad day. We’re reviewing Six, the album that took 15 YEARS to make (seriously… that’s longer than some bands stay together). Was it worth the wait? Did it rise to the occasion, or does it make you want to hit “X” faster than a pop-up ad from the early internet days? No spoilers—but let’s just say, things get interesting.

This week on America’s Podcast, we take it to 11. We’re reviewing the brand-new Dead To Rights from Metal Church—a band that’s resurrected itself and even brought in former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson. Does this album have the brainwashing power to make you forget the old versions of the band… or is it a total waste of time? And the BIG question: how does Marc somehow connect this to The Thompson Twins? This is a must-listen as we bring in family members Andy Rodriguez and Tim Wirasnik to help break it all down. Tracks of the Week: Marc – “White Punks on Dope” by The Tubes Mooger – “Pizza Homicide” by Samurai Pizza Cats Andy – “Chemical Warfare” by Slayer Tim – “The Chase Is Better Than the Catch” by Motörhead Jerry – “3111” by Exodus Make sure to check out our YouTube page, give us a five-star review on Apple Podcasts, and follow us on Podbean and Podchaser.

🎙️ THIS WEEK ON AMERICA’S PODCAST 🎙️ We dig into a band that somehow dropped THREE albums and still feels like rock’s best-kept secret—The Dust Coda and their album Mojo Skyline. Is this thing a full-on rocker… or does it stall out like your car when you crank the volume too high? 🚗💨 Either way—it’s a must listen, especially for the humor, hot takes, and straight-up shenanigans from the crew. Joining us is family member Tim Wirasnik, and let’s just say… things get loud, opinionated, and possibly slightly out of control (just how we like it). 🔥 TRACKS OF THE WEEK 🔥

| Episode 558-Anthrax-Persistence Of Time | 03 Apr 2026 | 02:12:04 | |
🎙️ This Week on America’s Podcast… This week we crank up the thrash machine and dive into Persistence of Time by Anthrax with family members Eric Lussier and Tim Wirasnik. This album is darker, heavier, and moodier than a metalhead who just found out his favorite band replaced the guitarist with a keyboard player. The big question is… should this album be discharged… or have we got the time to let it spin? No spoilers, but expect riffs, opinions, and possibly some friendly family thrash talk. 🤘 As always, we also bring the Tracks of the Week, proving once again that this rock ‘n’ roll family has musical taste that goes everywhere—from thrash to glam to melodic death metal. 🔥 Tracks of the Week
So grab a drink, crank the volume to “annoy the neighbors” level, and join the family as we debate whether this Anthrax classic still crushes or should be left in the thrash time capsule. Until next week, keep it in the family and make sure you’ve got the time to spend with the people you love. We are out.

| Episode 557-Kreator-Krushers Of The World | 27 Mar 2026 | 02:06:23 | |
This Week on America’s Podcast 🤘🔥 Thrash alert! This week the crew dives headfirst into the crushing riffs of Kreator – *Coma of Souls*… wait, wrong decade… actually we’re throwing horns up for Kreator – *Enemy of God*—just kidding again… alright, enough thrash confusion—this episode is all about Kreator – *Kreator Krushers of the World* (aka the mighty Kreator – *Coma of Souls* era thrash vibe depending on how hard the riffs hit your brain cells). Family members Tim Wirasnik and Andy Rodriguez join the madness as we crank the volume to 11 and ask the important question: 👉 Is this album an absolute KRUSHER… or just a psychotic impersonator of thrash greatness? No spoilers, but let’s just say the riffs are sharper than a rusty Slayer cassette left in the sun since 1986. 🤯 Before we disappear into a whirlwind of German thrash fury from Kreator, we unleash our Tracks of the Week—a playlist heavy enough to scare your neighbor’s Prius into playing Slayer. Tracks of the Week 🎧

| Episode 556-The Best And Worst Of Pantera | 20 Mar 2026 | 02:46:04 | |
This week on America’s Podcast, the amps are cranked past 11 and the groove hits harder than a Dimebag riff. 🤘 With family member Favio Vegas and newly adopted family member Mark Mckibben, we tackle the best and worst of Pantera — breaking it all down from Cowboys from Hell to Reinventing the Steel. No hairspray. No spandex. No Glamtera. Just pure groove metal carnage. 🔥 We dive into the riffs, the groove, the attitude, and maybe a few arguments louder than the guitars themselves. This episode is 100% Pantera, and even the Tracks of the Week are all groove metal destruction: ⚡ Favio: “Goddamn Electric” 😈 Jerry: “Psycho Holiday” 💪 Mark: “Regular People (Conceit)” 🔥 Marc: “Fucking Hostile” ⚔️ Mooger: “Strength Beyond Strength” So crank it up, throw the horns high, and join us as we celebrate one of the heaviest bands to ever shake the speakers. 🤘 Make sure to leave us a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review on Apple Podcasts, follow us on Podbean, and check out our YouTube channel Link- https://www.youtube.com/@freeformrockpodcast9076 where we bring the shenanigans, laughs, and some killer live concert clips.

| Episode 555-Dokken-Under Lock And Key | 13 Mar 2026 | 01:31:33 | |
This week on America’s Podcast — maybe a little dysfunctional, definitely loud — family member Travis Perrotta joins us as we crank up the Way Back Machine and rocket straight into the 1980s. You know, back when the riffs were hard, the melodies were massive, the jeans were tighter than your cable budget, and MTV actually played music. We’re diving into Under Lock and Key by Dokken — the album that somehow got recorded without the band entering a full-on steel cage match. How did they survive those sessions without someone getting power-chorded into next week? We may never know. But when you’ve got guitar wizard George Lynch firing off riffs like a neon lightning bolt, something magical (or at least very loud) is bound to happen. Will lightning strike? Or will this record turn into a Badlands-style nightmare? No spoilers — you’ll have to tune in to find out if it truly Unchains the Night… or just tangles it up in Aqua Net and attitude. 🔥 Tracks of the Week 🔥
Until next week — don’t let the drama get to you. Don’t be a Dokken… just Unchain the Night and Let It Rock. We’re outta here. 🤘 #AmericasPodcast #UnderLockAndKey #Dokken #GeorgeLynch #HairMetal #80sMetal #GuitarHeroes #WayBackMachine #UnchainTheNight #LetItRock Make Sure and Check Out Our YouTube Channel also subscribe !https://www.youtube.com/@freeformrockpodcast9076 | |||

Jerry brings in a newer band, Reality of Yourself, and we check out Letter From Hermes. Do we like it? Do we hate it? Are we politely confused? No spoilers, as always.
