    Ep.33: The Greatest Hit(s) of Nu-Metal

    Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a bloody lovely 'ol music podcast. This week on the show Steve is delighted to be reunited with an old school podcast legend in the shape of his former Metal Hammer Podcast co-host Merlin Alderslade. The pair are getting down with the sickness, having just one of those days, waking up and putting on a little make up, moving one step closer to the edge and... er... going me loco...? nah, fucked it. Basically we're counting down some of our favourite one hit wonders from the nu-metal era. Expect silly lyrics, silly facial hair, seven string guitars and some names you had long forgotten. I addition we talk about the new live EP from Denzel Curry and the latest collab album between Billy Woods and Kenny Segal. Plus there is an amazing (for Steve) revelation about how to pronounce the singer from Nickelback's name... if that won't make you tune in...! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ep.29: Ultra Virus

    Hello and welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, with a twist! Steve is ill as anything this week (it's serious, it's not Man flu!) and so we've decided to recycle a bit of old #Content for you guys rather than put out literally nothing. It's the 26th anniversary of Depeche mode's classic Ultra album today (the 14th of April) and so we've delved back into the archives and found the first ever Patreon podcast Steve and Sam did, and, what a lucky coincidence, it is on that particular album! Have yourselves a listen and regular programming will resume next week. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ep.28: Toxic Lindberg

    Hello everyone, you've made the correct life decision and decided to listen to this episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the music podcast for all the best people. On this week's show Steve and Sam have decided to dive into the world of cover versions. We all love some, we all love to hate others, but what makes a truly great or truly terrible cover? We look at various efforts from Muse, The Power Station, Pet Shop Boys, Candy Flip, Godhead and Napalm Death and see if we can find some answers. There is also reviews of recent releases from MS Paint and DMA's, chat about Robert Smith taking a stand against secondary ticket selling websites, the old Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist slagging off current Red Hot Chili Peppers and we've picked a right pair of bangers from LCD Soundsystem and Anthrax to gush over. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ep.26: Q&A eh?

    Hey YOU! It's Trve. Cvlt. Pop! back again with another GREAT episode! It's been an entire six months since we started the podcast, can you believe it, doesn't time fly, don't they grow up so quick, etc, etc... Anyway, it's a good week, it what we're saying. Steve went to see Lizzo and Kerbdog, not together, that would be mental, and we answer a bunch of your questions. Some of them are good, some are great, some are irrelevant and some give us the chance to be really rude about people from other podcasts, which is a favourite hobby of ours, so thanks. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ep.24: Sam's Mate Chris is the Biggest C**t of the Week

    Hey you! Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop!... unless you are Sam's mate Chris, who has openly refused to listen to the show. Well, Chris, you're not welcome here anymore buddy! We banish thee! Shame too, Chris, because this week's show is actually really good. Steve and Sam talk about new music from Sleaford Mods, Periphery, Slowthai, Xui Xui, Model/Actriz and Snayx. You'd definitely have liked at least one of those! Probably all of them if we're honest. Steve also reports from seeing Algiers live in London, we laugh at Corey Taylor for thinking that his new album is going to be the best rock album of 2023, and 2024 as well, the mad GHETT, and we chat about a pair of cracking tracks from Ice-T and Black Peaks. That would be fun to listen to wouldn't it Chris! But, OH NO, you don't want to! Sad. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ep.23: (?)

    It's time for another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, the music podcast for fans of Lizzo AND Rammstein! Imagine that! This week Sam and Steve have been delighted to see that particular crossover happen, unlike some folks on the internet. We're happy with that, and we're also happy to be reviewing the latest releasing from the likes of Gorillaz, Zulu, Algiers, Full of Hell and Primitive Man, Shame and Rebecca Black. Also, Sam's been listening to loads of Melvins when he's not been bullied by Steve to put on the, nearly, ten minute long version of People Hold On by Coldcut featuring Lisa Stanfield.

Steve and Sam have had a hell of a week, if you're asking, with Sam going to see Gojira, Alien Weaponry and Employed to Serve in Nottingham and Steve... erm... not really knowing specifically why everyone is annoyed with Matty Healy again. They've also been listening to new music from a bunch of cracking artists, and we review the latest releases from Code Orange, P!nk, Hundred Reasons, Orbital, Host and Erase Theory.

    Ep 21: Jnr. Gong Hill

    HEAR ME NOW! It's another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! and this week Steve and Sam have got reggae on the brain as they talk about a load of early 90's reggae classics for no reason other than Steve's recent appearance on the excellent Pop Collaborate and Listen podcast episode about Chaka Demus and Pliers. They talk about it (for too long if we're honest) about the silly pair, before turning their attention to The BRIT's, Gojira's merch prices, U2's Vegas residency and the sad news of the passing of Trugoy the Dove of De La Soul. We also review some excellent new music from Paramore, Caroline Polachek and Jessica Winter. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ep.19: The 20 Most Controversial Music Videos... Ever... EVER!

    Welcome you brave soul, to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a popular music podcast, that is about popular music, and is popular. Apparently. This week Sam and Steve are joined by our good friend and Hell Bent for Metal Podcast host Mr. Tom Dare, to look at new music from Fucked Up, Eyes and Sam Smith, who has inspired our entire show this week after the video for their song I'm Not Here To Make Friends boiled the piss of some reactionary fools! Is the video REALLY that controversial? Or is Sam Smith just having a lovely time in a corset? We give it some context by looking at some of the most "Shocking" and "appalling" music videos of all time from the likes of Madonna, The Prodigy, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Lil Nas X and... yuk... Cattle Decapitation. Expect blood, blasphemy, incest, violence, sexiness and Nazis... so many bloody Nazis! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ep.18: Happy 55th birthday Mike Patton!

    Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, the finest music podcast in this fair land. On this week's show we are celebrating the 55th birthday of legendary vocalist and auteur of musical anarchy, Mr. Mike Patton. Steve and Sam have picked a few of our favourite, most surprising, most inspiring and most underrated moments from the great man's career to show our love and appreciation for a genuine one off performer. Happy birthday Mike! Also, we look at new music from Manneskin and XL Life, shrug off the news of Panic! At the Disco's split, laugh at the Black Eyed Peas being forced to reap what they have sown as one of their songs is appropriated by a pooing unicorn, laugh at a hilarious (citation needed) mix up between Matt Heafy and Matt Healy and wonder why a Priest got sent to hell, and why, more importantly, is he livid to hear Rihanna's Umbrella being played down there... that's a real story by the way.

    Finding the finest live album ever.

    Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a lovely music podcast. This week on the show, since it is exactly 65 years since Johnny Cash recorded his classic live document At Folsom Prison, Sam and Steve are trying to find the finest live album of all time. We have 30 live albums that have either been suggested by you or are just generally considered to be amongst the very best, definitive live albums of all time, plus a pair of wildcard picks from each of our hosts, that have entered into a tournament format and will be whittled down until only one remains, and will be christened at the official Trve. Cvlt. Pop! greatest live album of all time. There's also a report of the recent The 1975 show from Steve, and we pay tribute to one of the most influential guitarists of all time after hearing the news of the sad passing of Jeff Beck aged 78. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Trve.Clvssic. Pop!: Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile (Part 1)

    We here at Trve. Cvlt. Pop! present to you an exclusive piece of bonus content from our Trve. Clvssic. Pop! Patreon page. On this show we are looking at The Fragile, the third full length album from Trent Reznor's industrial legends Nine Inch Nails, released on the 21st of September 1999. In the first of two parts we look at Reznor's descent in dealing with the aftermath of the success of 1994's The Downward Spiral album. Starting with the debauched and gruelling Self-Destruct tour, his collaboration with David Bowie on his Outside Tour, the stress of producing Marilyn Manson's Antichrist Superstar album, the loss of his Grandmother Clara and how all of these events coalesced into giving Reznor serious writers block and nearly leading him to quitting music altogether. We then look at how he rebuilt his confidence and came up with the concept for The Fragile, before going track by track through the first disc of the album. The second part is available when you sign up for the £5 a month Trve. Clvssic. Pop! tier at patreon.com/trvecvltpop. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
