    Ep.44: The Battle of Brit-Pop II (with James AKA Brit-pop Memories)

    Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! we hope this finds you well at this troubling time... eh? Anyway, this week Steve and Gaz are joined by James, who runs Brit-pop Memories, a Twitter (sorry X, ffs) account and blog dedicated to the joys of the Brit-pop era. James has come on after taking exception to a recent article Steve wrote belittling a handful of Brit-pop artists, and so we've given him his right to reply, whilst also taking time to explore his love of the music of the time. We discuss divisive releases from The Charlatans, Oasis, Dodgy, Kula Shaker, Marion, McAlmont & Butler, The Seahorses, Ocean Colour Scene, Suede and Gay Dad to see if they've held up or are relics from a past best forgotten. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ep.42: Urne and Sevendust on the Genius of Sam Cooke

    Hello and welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, the podcast that likes all the music. This week Steve and Gaz are delighted to be discussing the life, times, career and influence of one of the greatest singers of all time; the legendary Sam Cooke. We are delighted to be joined by Urne frontman Joe Nally and Sevendust's Lajon Witherspoon, two men who are Cooke superfans, to talk through the great man's wonderful career, and what we could have got were it not for his tragic death at the age of only 33. Where to start, underrated gems, the definitive classic album and, also, some bonus stories regarding James Brown and Mark Lanegan that will blow your mind. We also chat about both men's upcoming albums, and we give a shout out to a couple of bangers by Gigolo Aunts (yes, it's that one) and Shakespear's Sister (no, not the one you're thinking actually). ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Reviews: Blur - The Ballad of Darren

    Well, hello there. Welcome back to another special, one off review podcast from us, the fellas at Trve. Cvlt. Pop! On this episode we are looking at the 9th studio album from recently reformed Brit-pop legends Blur, The Ballad of Darren. This is the band's first album since 2015's rather disappointing The Magic Whip album, but the members of Blur have been keeping themselves busy in a world without their main band; Damon Albarn has been doing some solo stuff and a little project called Gorillaz, both guitarist Graham Coxon and drummer Dave Rowntree have gone solo too and bassist Alex James has... made some cheese... we're not sure. So, does the world need a new Blur album? Is it a risk to come out of hiatus and give the world new material when you already have a stellar back catalogue to fall back on and millions of fans who would surely be happy to see Blur live out their days as a lovely nostalgia blanket? Well, as you'll hear, when they are able to give us such an interesting new flavour as the one we get on The Ballad of Darren, it's certainly worth the risk. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Trve. Crvp. Pop! EP.4: Bruce Willis - The Return of Bruno

    It's time for us to dive into the FILTH of the music world once more as we search for the worst album ever made, yes, it's Trve. Crvp. Pop! time once again. Steve and Sam have got something genuinely bizarre on their hands today, as we look at the debut album from Hollywood A-lister Bruce Willis, The Return of Bruno, released on the 20th of January 1987. Willis was a star, but not a megastar, back in 1987, he was on the show Moonlighting, which had given him enough profile for him to get a $5m contract to be the face of Seagram's Golden Wine Coolers*... yeah, pretty weird that eh. Anyway, on the ads Willis danced and sang, pretty badly if we're being honest, but his performances, if legend is to be believed, were good enough for Motown Records to sign him and ask him to make an album full of soul pop and R&B numbers. The album was tied in with an HBO Special that portrayed Willis' alter-ego Bruno Radolini as a great, lost legend of the music world. It was ropey as hell, but Bruce got a number 2 hit in the UK with his cover of Under the Boardwalk. So it was looking goof for his music career. But, 18 months later a film called Die Hard came out, and... well, you know the rest. Is The Retun of Bruno any good? Dan from Skindred's mum likes it! What does it matter what we think! Trve. Crvp. Pop! is in no way associated with Seagram's Golden Wine Coolers... although we would be open to any sponsorship opportunities. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ep.41: A Blur of a Weeknd

    Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the most punk rock music podcast on the planet. Definitely. That's definitely what we're going for. Steve and Gaz have got some cracking music to tell you about this week, as we review new music from Gabriels, Better Lovers, PJ Harvey and Dave and Central Cee. There is also some chat about the recent rejigging of the festival market, out goes Ozzy and in come Judas Priest at Powertrip and The 1975 are back at Reading and Leeds AGAIN! Maybe most excitingly of all though, there are live reports from two massive stadiums shows; R&B pop megastar The Weeknd's stunning performance at the London Stadium and the return of Brit-pop legends Blur at Wembley... which inevitably leads to a conversation about when Oasis are coming back. Business as usual then. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ep.38: Hill and Dare Unplanned

    HELLO! Welcome back to Trvve. Cvlt. Pop! a cracking little music podcast for your little ears to enjoy. This week on the show Steve has decided to ask on regular contributor to the show, confused and delighted West Ham United fan and all round top boy Tom Dare from the Hell Bent For Metal Podcast to come on and try something a little bit different. Remember Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned? Where Frank Skinner and David Baddiel would just riff a show for half an hour? Well, imagine that but without the dead wood (you know which one)! Steve and Tom chat through a variety of subjects as suggested by our Twitter followers, and by Steve as well, since he did see Depeche Mode, Rancid and Tenacious D over the last week. We touch on the genius of ABBA, rank Gojira's back catalogue, wonder why there hasn't been a modern version of Vulgar Display of Power, try and work out whether 1996 or 2010 was a better year for music, reminisce about how great Sonisphere Festival was and, crucially, discuss the word "Objectively" in music. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    (What's the Story)... The KLF & Extreme Noise Terror at The BRIT's

    Welcome to this brand new podcast series from us, the chaps at Trve. Cvlt. Pop! We're calling it (What's the Story)... or, if you're Sam, "WHAT WERE ALL THAT ABUT?!"... don't call it that. It's a new series where we look at some of the most shocking and infamous moments in music history and try and get our head around exactly what happened. On this first episode we are looking the events that led to and then unfolded on the 12th of February 1992, when dance music oddities The KLF invited grindcore legends Extreme Noise Terror to open that year's BRIT Awards show. The KLF were the best selling singles band of 1992, but were, as we discuss, a little unorthodox in their approach, so it makes sense... sort of... that they would decide to end their successful stint in the music industry by playing what must be comfortably the most shocking and bizarre performance the biggest night in the UK music calendar has ever witnessed... okay, maybe it actually doesn't. Things only got weirder from their, as we will discuss in the second part of this show on our patreon page; patreon.com/trvecvltpop. Hopefully see you there. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Reviews: Avenged Sevenfold - Life is but a Dream...

    Hello everyone, we're back with another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Reviews, a podcast dedicated to one upcoming album that we believe is worth spending an entire episode on. This time Sam and Steve are looking at Life is but a Dream..., the 8th studio album by Orange County metal megastars Avenged Sevenfold. The follow up to 2016's The Stage has been a long time coming, so long that many people have already made their mind up about the record before they had even heard a note. Mainly because A7X frontman M. Shadows said it was influenced by funk, soul and (gasp) Kanye West! Whilst all of that may well be true, it only tells a tiny bit of the story of the album we get here. This is a wild record, full of some of the biggest flights of fancy that any major metal band have taken in years, possibly decades. Is it any good? Well, it depends on your mindset; do you want your bands to grow, challenge you, take huge risks and show ambition, or are you just a dullard? As you'll hear, we're very pro-Life is but a Dream... ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ep.1: Trve. Crvp. Pop!: Muse - Simulation Theory

    Hey there! It's the long awaited return of Trve. Crvp. Pop!, the bonus podcast where we try and decipher what the worst album of all time is. Sorry it's been a while, we've been busy, plus, in all honesty, neither of us wanted to listen to this weeks STINKING album. In the dock this week is Simulation Theory by the modern prog-rock megastars Muse, released on the 9th of November 2018. Steve and Sam have very different relationships with Muse, one likes the early stuff and one... well, doesn't. So what is it about this particular Muse album that is considered so heinous? Well, after a string of well received records over the early part of their career, people started to question Muse in the early part of the 2010's, leading to a supposed "return to rock" comeback with the album Drones in 2015... thing is, not many people cared for Drones that much. Which meant Muse were at something of a crossroads in their career; try again to get rock fans back onside or do something totally different to shock the world. They went for the latter, ditching the ideas of both acoustic and hip-hop (thank God) centric albums to do... well, some Stranger Things, 80's synth, Sci-fi, fight the power bullshit. Is it any good?... We'll tell you here. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ep.34: Summer on the Underground (the UK Festival season preview)

    Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! you fave ever music podcast. Steve is back and, looky here, Sam is back too! This week on the show, it's a bumper massive episode. Mainly because Sam has now heard Wake Up Boo by The Boo Radleys. That alone is worth about 5 hours of chat isn't it? No. Obviously not. Actually, the main chat comes as we take a dive into the state of the UK festival market, previewing all of the big fests, and some not so big ones, that we possibly can. So you'll get our thoughts on Glastonbury, Download, Reading and Leeds, Isle Of Wight, Bestival, Slam Dunk, Creamfields, British Summer Time, All Points East, Outbreak, 2000 Trees, Arc Tan Gent, Bloodstock and, of course, Mighty Hoopla, plus many more. It's going to be a... summer! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
