    Ep.56: Whaawerealltaraboot? - Slash Leaves Guns 'n' Roses

    Welcome back to another lovely Trve. Cvlt. Pop! podcast. Steve and Gaz have been a pair of busy bees this week, heading out across the country to see live performances from Madonna, Discharge and Quicksand, together at last, and listening to long forgotten one hit wonders from the 80's and still putting out music one hit wonders from the 90's. But the real reason we're here it to take you back to exactly 27 years ago and retrace the steps that led to one of the most shocking departures from a band that happened in rock during our lifetimes; when Axl Rose kicked Slash out of Guns 'n' Roses. We look back on the madness, the drama, the solo projects, the creative differences, the GnR "Yoko Ono", the terrible covers and the chance meetings by swimming pools that all coalesced into one of hard rocks biggest ever bands falling apart... they made up though, it's all fine now, you might have heard about it. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Trve. Crvp. Pop! Ep.8: Kevin Rowland - My Beauty

    Welcome back to another search for the very worst album of all time, yes, it's Trve. Crvp. Pop!. Steve and Sam are back and are looking at My Beauty, the second solo album from former (and current) Dexy's Midnight Runners frontman, released on the 21st of September 1999. Rowland was one of the biggest stars in music in Britain in the 1980's, but after Dexy's split in 1987 he spiralled into depression and drug addiction and decided to quit music. After a spell living on the streets Rowland signed to Creation Records, home of Oasis, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine and, of course, 3 Colours Red, and released a set of covers, with the lyrics changed to reflect his recent struggles. It should have been a triumphant comeback, but Rowland decided to portray himself on the front cover wearing a dress and lingerie, much to the confusion of the UK music press, and then turn up fully made up and in a dress at the Reading Festival in 1999 a month before the album was released. It was a disaster and completely overshadowed the music on My Beauty. Rowland, it was reported, only sold 500 copies of the album and he became the punchline to many a joke at the time. But, 24 years on, does the music stand up? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Review: Code Orange - The Above

    Welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Reviews, where we take one recently released album and review it. Simple. On this Episode Steve is joined by Sam to look at the new album from Pittsburgh hardcore turned metal band Code Orange, The Above. After we all went mad for 2017's Forever and 2020's Underneath, there is a lot of pressure on Code Orange to keep their hot streak going. Does their fifth album manage to do so? We'll tell you here won't we. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Reviews: Kylie Minogue - Tension

    Welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Reviews, where we hyper focus on one new album that we think is worth your time and talk about it... and about British radio presenters from the 1980's... although not always that second bit. On this podcast we look at the brand new, and 16th, album from Australian pop legend Kylie Minogue, Tension. Kylie has been having a pretty decent time of it recently, in the aftermath of her 2020 lockdown album Disco she moved backed to her native Melbourne, and wrote this collection of songs that were meant to represent true classic Kylie anthemic disco pop. The lead single Padam Padam became her biggest hit in the US since the halcyon days of Can't Get You Out of My Head, perfectly setting up Tension's release. An album full of 80's synth pop, classy disco strutting, throbbing, deep house and glam campness all over the gaff. But... do Steve and Gaz like it? UH... YAH! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Trve. Crvp. Pop! Ep 7: Crosby, Stills & Nash - Live it Up

    Welcome back to another Trve. Crvp. Pop!, the spin off podcast where we search for the worst album ever made. This week Steve and Sam are looking at Live it Up, the third album from US folk-rock supergroup Crosby, Stills and Nash, released on the 26th of June 1990. We actually don't know much about CSN, as will become apparent throughout this podcast, but what we do know is that David Crosby was a loveable loony, and his jail time, disregard for authority, drug addiction, lack of wanting to partake in music videos and passive aggressive album titles make what would be a utterly pointless and boring mid-period album from an established band into something pretty funny. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ep.50: "New York, The Aftermath"

    Welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a podcast about music. This week, in the direct aftermath of the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, Steve and Gaz look at issue 871 of Kerrang! magazine, the first issue to be released after the event, and take a look back at what the immediate reaction from the music world was. We look at the cancelled tours, the songs dropped from radio and TV, the changes artists had to make to upcoming releases, the songs that were inspired by the event and see what the long term effects it had on the world of music. It's not all heavy, we also review new music from Nation of Language, The Chemical Brothers, Olivia Rodrigo, Angel Du$t and Kvelertak and there is a live report from Trivium's final show on the In the Court of the Dragon touring cycle. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Trve. Crvp. Pop! Ep.6: AC/DC - Fly on the Wall

    It's another look at the world of the worst albums ever made, as we present another Trve. Crvp. Pop!, searching for the most awful moment in the history of music. This week, Steve and Sam are rating and ranking Fly on the Wall, the 10th studio album from hard rock legends Ac/DC, released on the 28th of June 1985. The 80's had been kind to AC/DC initially, their 7th album Back in Black was one of the biggest albums ever made, shifting 25 millions copies in the US alone. But as the decade wore on, so the profile of the band began to wane somewhat. 25 million sales became 4 million, which then became "only" 1 million as they continued to release album in the first half of the decade. By 1985, with glam metal on the rise, AC/DC were considered by many to have peaked, the band themselves wanted nothing to do with MTV ready pop-metal and decided to self produce their next record. The result was an album in Fly on the Wall that is usually cited as their weakest moment... but is it really that bad? Or did a link to a serial killer, the ire of the PMRC and a bunch of confusing videos starring the band, a bunch of goofy actors and a cartoon fly all combine to kill it? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a music podcast. This week we are going slightly darker than usual, as Steve and Gaz discuss their relationship with certain problematic artists. Steve picks five songs that he no longer listens to, discusses the reasons for ditching them and how outside issues can effect your enjoyment of a song or how the behaviour of an artist can negate the power of a song that you formerly loved. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Trve. Crvp. Pop! Ep.5: Adam Woodyatt - It's Time for Love

    Hello and welcome back to Trve. Crvp. Pop!, a little spin off of our usual show where we search for the very worst album ever made in music history. This week Steve and Sam are looking at the fabulous world of soap stars making music, as we talk about the debut album from Adam "Ian Beale" Woodyatt, It's Time for Love, from 2008. We all know who Ian Beale is don't we! But what about the man behind the character? Well, he's likes photography, he has performed onstage at the National Theatre and he also has this random and incredibly rare record to his name. We've done some serious, and not so serious, digging for this one, the question is... is Woodyatt the new Kylie? Or should he have stayed in his fictional Fish and Chip shop rather than venture into the music world? We'll let you know. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
