All episodes of the Unsung Podcast can be found below. It's a grand old time.
Chris was ill this week so we decided that we would release of the bonus episodes we recorded for subscribers back at the end of last year. This one was a lot of fun. We talk about some of our favourite guilty pleasures. We hope you enjoy - some truly brilliant and also hideous stuff in here.
Read MoreIf you donated $50 not only do you get a sweet t-shirt, but we’ll review an album of your choice and if the episode turns out well apparently we also release it to the general public. Rayce Bannon asked for this and we dutifully obliged. It turned out great!
Read MoreWelcome to bizarro world, where Chris picks a hip hop album. This week we’re talking about the wonderfully eclectic renaissance man Saul Williams and his eponymous self titled album.
Read MoreAfter going super deep on Bad Religion last week we some how go even deeper this week, and get even more hilarity in too, which, if you’re not a fan of the band, is absolutely the reason you should listen. Monkeys on the loose in Stirling and X-rated shenanigans in Lochwinnoch abound, this week…
Read MoreWhat happens when two Bad Religion fans get in a room with two folk who are not fans? Apparently we chat for a bloody long time. On part one of our head to head we go through the band’s entire back catalogue. Oh, and hilarity ensues. Seriously. Probably one of our funniest episodes.
Read MoreIn part two Steve talks about Neurosis, Neurot Recordings, a bunch of albums he digs and of course, picks an album he thinks is unsung.
Read MoreThis is part one of our interview with the extremely influential Steve Von Till. We chat about his new album No Wilderness Deep Enough, his new poetry book called Harvestman: 23 Untitled Poems and Collected Lyrics, and chat about his back catalogue too!
Read MoreThis week we thought we’d give all you no subscribers a taste of what lies behind the walls of our patreon. If you dig it, subscribe from as little as $2 over at www.patreon.com/unsungpod.
Read MoreOften cited as one of the band’s responsible for bringing djent into the world, SikTh’s first, wordily titled album, is actually a melting point of various genres…and weirdness. A lot of weirdness. Is it worthy of a space in our discography? You decide.
Read MoreThree artists with nothing in common, all of which have recorded different kinds of live albums each with a different vibe. You get to vote on which should go in our discography. Go do it.
Read MoreThe live album is always a gutsy endevaour. So few bands do them these days. On this episode we talk about the history and different kinds of live album, then talk about some of our favourites.
Read MoreWe finally get down to talking about Lubomyr Melnyk’s eighteenth album, Corollaries. For all his some what dubious opinion, there’s no question that the guy can play. He’s unsung, but does he deserve a place in our canon? You decide.
Read MoreThis week we discuss the life and character of one the world’s fastest piano player, the only practitioner of ‘continuous music’, Lubomyr Melnyk. Chris has been dying to talk about this guy for ages so buckle up.
Read MoreWe finally get down to talking about J Dilla’s influential final album Donuts, and along the way we discuss all the technical ins and outs of it too. Including some of the samples used and the message behind it.
Read MoreProper hip hop nerds are probably all too familiar with J Dilla, his influence and his legacy. In this episode we talk extensively about that, and how productive he was throughout his tragically short life.
Read MoreAnyone with a social media account is no doubt very aware of the barrage of solo artists that are doing bedroom acoustic live streams at this time. We though we’d take advantage of this current trend to talk about our favourite singer-songwriters…recorded from the comfort of our bedrooms. Because irony.
Read MoreAlright party people, here we go. It’s time to vote on which album you think should go into our discography - Calculating Infinity, Miss Machine or One of Us is the Killer. In this episode each of us passionately makes a case as to why their choice is the one.
Read MoreOur idea for a Dillinger Escape Plan threesome ended up turning into two episodes. So in this one we talk about the band’s history and the records we didn’t pick.
Read MoreIt’s part two of our PJ Harvey episode and on this episode we discuss Is This Desire? itself and get our nexus selections out of the way too. Is this her unsung classic?
Read MoreThis week we welcome special guest Vicki Henry to talk about an artist Chris has been dying to do since before this podcast began. Then it got out of hand and turned into a two parter. This week: the history of PJ Harvey and a run down of her records.
