Ep. 349: Beneath The Hair Vol. 13 – Forgotten Glam Metal – A Hair Too Late!
This week we make hard choices: Aquanet or White Rain? That’s right, we are once again diving hair-first into the world of obscure glam metal. We are focusing on the bands that arrived on the scene just a hair too late: the years 1991-1993. They wanted to party like it was 1989, but a grungy storm from the Pacific Northwest was coming to crush their party vibes. If you like it glammy, sleazy, and trashy, this is your show!

Ep. 348: Grave Mistake: SLOAN Shoulda Been Huge!!! pt.1
This week, a band we’ve featured and often discussed on the show finally gets their due! Therefore, we give you part 1 of a “…Shoulda Been Huge!!!” episode for Halifax, NS, Canada’s very own: SLOAN. The quintessential Canadian power-pop act—that blends '70s hard rock riffs, Beatles-esque vocal harmonies, and indie rock grit that has won them gold albums and a Juno in their home country. We think it is a grave mistake that they are not as revered everywhere in the world!

Ep. 347: 2026 Tony Awards – New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal
It’s that time of the year when the boys get all spiffed up for the 2026 Tony Awards! No, not those Tony Awards. The ones where we hand out golden pentagrams to bands that wear their denim and leather proudly! This year we have special guest presenters from around the podcasting world. All bands and winners are selected for the coveted Tony Award by the man himself: our esteemed Chairman, Mr. Tony Griggs!

Ep. 346: Acid Rock n' Proto Metal From The Crypt Vol. VIII
This week’s episode is brought to you by the colors: yellow, orange, and brown. The 8th volume of our deep dive into the trippy and groovy beginnings of the heavy stuff! Cut your lava lamp on, gaze at that blacklight poster through the haze of purple smoke, and join your favorite rock n’ roll grave robbers as they dig deep into the core of 70s Acid Rock n’ Proto Metal crypt to unearth some obscure bands that helped influence and mold what would become known as Heavy Metal.

Ep. 345: In The Shadow Of... METALLICA!
This week, a continuation of our series called “In The Shadow Of…”, where we compare bands to a well-established mainstream act. This is not about copycats, but about artists that have similar vibes, share a sonic soundscape, or whose songwriting and playing styles are sympatico. This is another band near and dear to both of you humble hosts. A band that sits atop the pedestal of all things “heavy”. A band that defined metal in the 80s and 90s while becoming somewhat polarizing in more recent ye

Ep. 344: Degrees Of Separation... TODD KERNS
This week brings another installment of “Degrees Of Separation…,” where we dig into the side projects, supergroups, and solo releases connected to a particular artist. This time, we pay tribute to a rock n’ roll workhorse and journeyman from the Great White North: a jack-of-all-trades musician who seems to be single-handedly keeping many of the legacy artists we love in fighting shape. He’s not only a multi-instrumentalist and consummate rock star, but he also has some of the best pipes in the b

Ep. 343: Swamp Things – Bluesy, Dirgey Rock n’ Punk n’ Metal - cinq
It’s hot! Damn hot. Not just here in the deep south of the USA, but all over the world. Here in the south, we also add a layer of humidity to our heat dome for you to chew on. Therefore, it’s time once again for some swampy, creepy, backwater blues and southern gothic goodness that runs the gamut of rock n’ punk n’ metal! Go sit out on your front porch, grab your Sunday paper for fanning yourself, swat at those giant mosquitoes, and turn this episode up to 11. Get your swamp on!

Ep. 340: Covers From Beyond!!! - Summer Jamz
This week is all about bands playing other bands' songs. Summer songs that perhaps radio has exhausted. Whether they are playing it straight note-for-note or whether they are re-interpreting it, bands love to pay tribute to the hits they love! In this episode, we showcase a summer playlist made for all of your grilling, pool party, block party, yard work, camping, and hot weather needs!

Ep. 339: Unsigned Unearthed III
This week InObscuria exhumes those unmarked graves of unsigned artists! These bands may not have been signed to a major or gained internationally distributed success, but they were all rock stars to those lucky enough to hear and see them! Anyone who’s ever been in a band and played local/regional shows knows that some of the best live acts and musicians (and friends) are met through sharing bills with other acts. We hope we turn you on to some great music that you may have otherwise never had a

Ep. 338: Pulling The Plug... Acoustic Rock n’ Punk n’ Metal 5
This week, half of us are at the beach enjoying some r n’ r, so we thought we’d listen to some r n’ r with a beachy vibe. We are pulling the plug… and gasping for air… guitars! Rock artists have been playing acoustic since the very beginning. In fact, most songwriters start the process with an acoustic instrument. There’s something about capturing the sound of a song on just wire and wood that has a vulnerable, human feel to it. Dig your toes into the sand, breathe in the salt air, and enjoy the

Ep. 337: Shredding The Tomb - 70's Guitar Gods
This week, we bow down and raise up the almighty guitar heroes! The foundation of Rock n’ Punk n’ Metal is the guitar and the amazing sounds that those who wield them can make. How do they make such wonderful noise with metal wires on a piece of wood? There’s some kinda voodoo in their hands, and we set off on a journey to raise some of the 70s shredders that you may have forgotten!

Ep. 336: Metal Thrashing Mad IV - Crossover Thrash
Meet Captain Content & Kevin in the pit again this week for a hella good time! We’re getting our aggressions out by revisiting the starting point of it all for Kevin. The thrash, crossover, speed metal movement of the 80s spawned his love of all things rock n’ punk n’ metal. This time around the circle pit, we are focusing on Crossover Thrash. A sub-genre defined as short bursts of hardcore punk with metal guitar riffing. This was perfect skateboarding music, which intertwined with the Sk8 subcu

Ep. 335: A Woman Scorned... IX
This week, we celebrate International Women’s Triple-V Day! Our 9th episode in a series dedicated to women who bring the fury with style and passion. Don’t dare call these “chick bands”; these are kick-ass rock n’ roll bands that happen to include powerful women in them!!! Piss off a man; you can fight it out and then go have a pint at the pub. Piss off a woman, and you will pay for it 10-fold. These are ladies that play loud and heavy with attitude and… balls?

Ep. 334: Grave Mistake: ZEBRA Shoulda Been Huge!!!
This week the people demanded it, and we complied! Therefore, we give you “Grave Mistake: ZEBRA Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. This is our celebration of an amazing power trio from New Orleans / Long Island that has been largely forgotten in the pantheon of rock n’ roll. They also happen to be very musically proficient, with a bona fide guitar god in the band that rarely gets the praise he deserves!

Ep. 333: Shallow Graves: Diggin' 2026 - Early Birds
A few weeks ago, Captain Content threw down a challenge to find great new music, and Kevin didn’t just step up—he delivered in spades. Typically, we recognize all of the amazing recorded output of the current year at the end of the year; however, there are just too many great releases this year to wait until December. We’re not even halfway through the year yet, and we already have all of these great tunes! Who was that said rock n’ roll was dead???

Ep. 332: Retro Relapse Regurgitated Revival Revitalized
This week, we take you to church and exorcise some demons by testifying to the New Wave Of Classic Rock! Listen in as we cleanse your soul with classic, blues-influenced hard rock that reminds us of the days when FM radio rocked! Robert called the newer bands out on a recent episode, and indeed, rock n’ roll is not dead. It is in the very capable hands of these killer younger bands!

Ep. 331: R.I.P. Phil Campbell
It is with heavy hearts that we deliver this week’s episode honoring the passing of another guitar hero giant whose riffs were mighty enough to support Lemmy: Phil Campbell. He was a guitarist who rarely got mentioned in the circles of recognized guitar greats, but his playing on 16 Motörhead albums provides all the badass-guitarist validation needed. Best known as Lemmy’s right-hand guy, he also released 3 fantastic albums with his 3 sons as Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons. We pay tribute to t

Ep. 330: Beneath The Hair Vol. 12 - Forgotten Glam Metal - Hair To Hair Combat
This week we provide you with the finest in Hair To Hair Combat! You got it… We are dipping our spandex-covered legs into the pool of obscure glam metal. These are groups with similar band names that we thought needed to go “hair-to-hair” to see who truly has the right to rock the name. If you like it glammy, sleazy, and trashy, this is your show!
