Episode 195: Siouxsie and the Banshees (Pt. 2) 1:55:24

26d ago1:55:24

1:55:24

This week we're discussing the remaining albums by Siouxsie and the Banshees. This era covers 1984-1995, into their subsequent break up. While there are still plenty of beloved albums in this era, this is also where some complications hit the band. One of which being their brief stint with The Cure's Robert Smith on guitar. It's not all good, folks…

2:09:31

This week we're discussing every album by Shellac. After covering Big Black and Rapeman in past episodes, it was only a matter of time before we eventually got to Shellac. However, due to the unexpected and tragic loss of Steve Albini this year, this episode is bittersweet. They were a fantastic band that we're happy to dissect in detail here. Clos…

This week we're discussing Cometh the Storm, the latest album by the great High on Fire. Led by guitarist/vocalist Matt Pike (Sleep) and joined for the first time by drummer Coady Willis (Murder City Devils, Big Business, Mevlins), Cometh the Storm is High on Fire doing what they do best. Is it similar to their other albums? Yes. Does it rule? Also…

9d ago1:32:40

1:32:40

On the 4th of July 2024, Pod Like A Hole is celebrating by uploading our discussion of Willie Nelson's The Red Headed Stranger. This concept album is a Sunday morning favorite in one of the hosts homes, and the boys seem to all agree that it's status as an All American Classic is no fluke. Willie bet on himself (and the talents of his sister Bobbi …

Episode 196: Destiny's Child 1:57:59

11d ago1:57:59

1:57:59

This week we're discussing every album by Destiny's Child. Yes, you read that correctly. Do we want to cover this band? Absolutely not. Did someone pay us to do it? You're damn right. So we listened to all their albums as unbiased as possible. For the love of God, if you're a fan of Destiny's Child or Beyonce, do not watch this. Closing track: "Jum…

WAR. by WHORES. | Album Review 34:02

18d ago34:02

34:02

This week we're discussing WAR., the newest album by noise rock band WHORES. This album hits insanely hard. If you find yourself in the mood for noise rock with a healthy dosage of sludge metal mixed in there, you'll have a hard time finding a better album than this one this year. Crank this one loud, folks. Closing track: "Quitter's Fight Song" Pa…

Lives Outgrown by Beth Gibbons | Album Review 35:07

1M ago35:07

35:07

This week we're discussing the debut solo album by Portishead vocalist Beth Gibbons titled Lives Outgrown. We honestly weren't sure what to expect from this record, but what we got is easily one of the best albums of the year. While there are hints of Portishead's sound here, Gibbons has taken a turn for the dark, orchestral, and tribal. This is on…

Pod Like A Hole: Willie Nelson Part 1 of 2 - The man, the myth, the bandana. 2:02:42

1M ago2:02:42

2:02:42

Willie Nelson is many things: a lover, a traveler, a Texan, a guitar player, smoker, outlaw, hero, poet, fashion icon, actor, activist, philanthropist, gunslinger, wiseacre, animal lover, brother, father, husband (four times over), Hellraiser, braids and beard enthusiast, but most of all Willie is a friend to all. In this episode of Pod Like A Hole…

Episode 194: Injury Reserve 1:31:58

1M ago1:31:58

1:31:58

This week we're discussing every album by hip hop trio Injury Reserve. Made up of Ritchie with a T, Parker Corey, and Stepa J. Groggs (before his untimely death in 2020), Injury Reserve made some of the most innovative and downright insane rap in history. This isn't for casual music listeners, but it is wholly unique unlike anything we've heard bef…

This week we're discussing the latest album by metalcore band Knocked Loose, titled You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To. Now Alex and Mike aren't the hugest fans of hardcore/metalcore, but they are fans of extreme music. And let me tell you, ANY fan of extreme music must hear this album. The hype is real, folks. This is one of the most creative …

Episode 193: Hot Snakes 1:24:02

2M ago1:24:02

1:24:02

This week we're discussing every album by Hot Snakes. Led by the prolific guitar duo of Rick Froberg and John Reis (Drive Like Jehu, Rocket from the Crypt, Obits), Hot Snakes takes the post-hardcore technicality of Drive Like Jehu and condenses into shorter and more energetic song structures. An incredible band whose life was cut short due to the u…

Infinite Desires by Donny Benét | Album Review 35:17

2M ago35:17

35:17

This week we're discussing Infinite Desires, the latest album by post-disco artist Donny Benét. This isn't the type of album we normally cover on this show, but after taking one look at Donny's incredible mustache and hairdo, we were sold. And the music? If you're open to funky, soulful, and dancey stuff, then it is a must-listen and one of the bes…

Episode 192: Maskull 1:00:12

2M ago1:00:12

1:00:12

This week we’re discussing the only album by Maskull. This album is the biggest mystery we’ve ever had on this show. After its release in 1997, Maskull vanished leaving virtually no trace, aside from a few rumors. The music itself? Completely insane and downright hilarious. Joined by Mike’s brother Robert, we dive deep into the rabbit hole to uncov…

Episode 191: Grotus 1:04:10

3M ago1:04:10

1:04:10

This week we’re discussing every album by Grotus (stylized as Grötüs). Die hard Mike Patton fans might recognize this band, as he championed them in the early 90s and even took them on tour with Mr. Bungle. However, Grotus’s music stands on its own as a brutal mashup of industrial and groove metal. An overlooked gem of a band that’s worth checking …

We’ve been following BIG|BRAVE since this show began and A Chaos of Flowers shows them evolving in a massive way.

3M ago27:45

This week we’re discussing the latest album by Pissed Jeans, Half Divorced. If high speed hardcore punk with a noise rock edge is your thing, this is easily one of the best albums of the year. This is Mike and Alex’s first time hearing Pissed Jeans and they were delighted, to say the least. Give it a shot, this one’s hard not to love. Closing track…

2:41:12

This week we’re discussing every album by Foetus. However, there are a million EPs, remix albums, and collabs, so we’re just sticking with the core 10 albums. Foetus is the brainchild of JG Thirlwell, whom many will know as the music composer for The Venture Bros. and Archer. But Thirlwell’s roots stem all the way back to the New York no wave scene…

This week we’re discussing the one and only album by Mike Patton’s Peeping Tom.

This week we’re discussing She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She, the latest album by Chelsea Wolfe.
