In an uncharacteristic moment of unity, Chris, David and Mark agree that Tomahawk’s second album is their best work. The lads take us on a tour of the band’s discography whilst lightly touching upon each musician’s calibre and past.
Read MoreBack on schedule this week as David presents Rustie’s shimmering, fizzy debut album ‘Glass Swords’. This is our first proper foray into dance music and only you can decide if this is Rustie’s best work, and if it’s suitable for inclusion in our discography.
Read MoreThis week we’re trying something a little different. The “fake band” Threatin have been all over the news lately, and we thought we’d get to the bottom of why. Who is Jered Threatin? How could this have happened? And what does it say about the music industry generally? We dive deep into Jered’s past, the shady business of buying a fan base online, and so much more.
Read MoreThis week we break from our scheduled programming to bring you something a bit special - an album picked by the man who was silly enough to donate £100 to us. Fraser Stewart picks I am Forever by Traindodge, our thanks (?!) to him for donating a silly amount of money.
Read MoreOn the week of Halloween we get all gothic as we explore the dark, gloomy catalogue of Chelsea Wolfe whilst taking all kinds of detours into sleep paralysis, politics and a bunch more stuff. This one’s a goodie.
Read MoreA band who need no introduction, we take a long journey into their history, their antics, their music and their general weirdness, as Chris details why he thinks this is the best Butthole Surfers record. He might just have a point, y’know…
Read MoreA record which cements Talk Talk’s transition from an identikit synth-pop outfit into experimental post-rock(?) pioneers, the boys take a journey down the Talk Talk rabbit hole and come out the other side with… opinions.
Read MoreWe’re banging the punk drum for the first time in a while this week as Mark tries to give us the lowdown on why this is the best AFI album, before having an existential crisis when it came to his in-depth analysis of the album.
Read MoreDevin Townsend’s got many tools in his bag of tricks, but after appraising his discography we feel that ‘City’ by Strapping Young Lad is perhaps his best, most focused work. The lads take a jolly through his oeuvre and return to this album, in awe of it’s heaviness, ferocity and songwriting nous.
Read MoreEven though all three of us agree that tUnE-yArDs are interesting musicians, we struggle to find consensus when it comes to how good the songs actually are. Also, as seems to be the case with this band, we get back into some cultural appropriation chat. Tasty.
Read MoreWe're finally getting round to talking about early 00s Britrock as Weaver singles out the debut YCIM album as not only being one of the best examples of it, but also by explaining why it's one of his favourite records.
Read MoreA truly left-field choice from resident curmudgeon Chris, he gives us a lengthy and detailed explanation as to why this album is both Unsung and actually very good indeed. Weaver and Mark disagree, as you would probably expect, wondering what truly constitutes an Unsung record.
Read MoreIf you know about heavy music you know about Botch, and you know about this record. The boys dive into the band’s history and make their case for why this deserves to be in the Discography of Unsung Classics.
Read MoreThe boys take another foray into hip hop this week, discussing Sage Francis’ second album ‘A Healthy Distrust’ and taking quite the detour in the process.
Read MoreCan a band like Iron Maiden ever be considered as having an unsung classic when they're one of the biggest bands in the world? We can't decide. Maybe you can.
Read MoreOn this episode we talk about the mesmerising fifth studio album by Australian experimental instrumental rock band Dirty Three. Is this their best record, or should we consider something else? You’ll have to listen to find out!
Read MoreIn part two we talk to Breagha Cuinn from Bratakus and then we chat about the three Riot Grrl albums we think should be included in our discography - ‘Fontanelle’ by Babes in Toyland, ‘Bricks are Heavy’ by L7 and ‘Dig me Out’ by Sleater-Kinney.
Read MoreWe’ve been trying to get this mixtape off the ground for a few months, so we’re really chuffed to share this with you. In part one we talk about the scene, the key individuals and politics of Riot Grrl. We’re also joined by DJ Anna Goldthorp, and musician Breagha Cuinn of the band Bratakus.
Read MoreOur penchant for exploring artists with vast back catalogues continues unabated this week, as we try to decide on if Pink is the best album by a band who have 24 of them, most of which span multiple genres.
Read MoreRichard D. James is incredibly prolific. Fans of his music know this. We attempt to do his back catalogue justice, and Weaver makes his case for why ‘Chosen Lords’ is his unsung classic.
