Dig Me Out - The 90's rock podcast

This week we’re getting to one of our own picks, and Jason has brought us some prime debate material - 1993′s Powertrippin’ by The Almighty. Down-tuned guitars, double bass drum pedals and Motorhead meets Alice In Chains riffage, this band made zero impact in the United States, but their sound is familiar to anyone who has listened to hard rock in the last 20+ years. Has all that time made the band sound derivative, or were they from the start?Songs in this Episode:Intro - Instinct5:40 - History of the Band19:36 - Out of Season24:39 - Takin’ Hold28:48 - Sick And Wired35:24 - MeathookOutro - Powertrippin’ Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review / 

The description “shoegaze” has been applied to My Bloody Valentine to Ride to Slowdive to Swervedriver to Lush. But what exactly is shoegaze, what links these bands and others to this late 80s/early 90s movement? To help us break it down we’re joined by Aaron Perrino, Andy Derer and Eric Grubbs to talk the bands, the sounds, the albums, the guitar pedals and much more. Songs in this Episode: Intro - Only Shallow by My Bloody Valentine 10:53 - Duel by Swervedriver 22:26 - Little Fury Things by Dinosaur Jr. 32:56 - Heliotropic by Failure 40:28 - Just Like Honey by The Jesus and Mary Chain Outro - The Sight of You by Pale Saints Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review / Buy A T-Shirt

Next week will be hosting our round table discussion on shoegaze, so to get in the mood, this week we’re tackling one of the lesser known entries in the genre - the 1994 album Tatoonie by Blind Mr. Jones. Many of the things you come to expect from a shoegaze band are present - etheral vocals and guitars that switch from chorus clean to distorted chaos in an instant. As we dug deeper, we discovered some nods to power pop and early Britpop that make this album more intriguing that expected, but with a few issues to overcome.Songs in this Episode:Intro - Disneyworld5:40 - History of the Band10:33- Hey15:12 - See You Again17:59 - MesaOutro - Big Plane Follow on Twitter / Facebook

For our latest episode, we had the pleasure of interviewing Dale Cover, drummer and occasional guitar/bass player for the Melvins, Altamont, Fantomas, Nirvana and Broken Bat. To say this was a “wide-ranging” interview would be an under statement, as the two-plus hours interview spent about half the time talking music, the rest covering topics such as children’s birthday parties, Texas BBQ spots, European coffee, Ohio accents, and at one point Dale turns the tables and interviews us. We’re presenting this unedited in glorious raw form, and we hope you enjoy.Songs in this Episode:Intro - QueenOutro - Sweet Willy Rollbar Follow on Twitter / Facebook

For our latest round table discussion, we’re revisiting punk rock of the 1990s with a pair of special guests: author and podcaster Eric Grubbs, and music writer Scott Colvin. We trace how the 80s punk underground paved the way for the 90s mainstream explosion, dissect the various punk sub-genres, discuss the overlooked gems, tackle the “sell out” label, and much more. Who’s punk, what’s the score? We try to figure it out.Songs in this Episode:Intro - Ruby Soho by Rancid15:20 - Save Your Generation by Jawbreaker24:22 - Welcome to Paradise (Kerplunk version) by Green Day43:05 - Firestorm by Earth Crisis56:11 - On A Rope by Rocket From The CryptOutro - Someday I Suppose by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Back in January, Kellii Scott of Failure joined us to discuss the reunion of his band, his career in music, and their in-progress recordings. Eight months later, the album has been released, so it’s the perfect time to have Kellii back on to talk about Failure’s new album, their fourth overall and first in nineteen years, The Heart Is A Monster. To help us do so, we’re rejoined by our old friend Keith Jenkins, who revisited Fantastic Planet with us way back on episode #12. We talk writing, recording, mixing and touring the new album, plus learn more interesting anecdotes from Kellii, like auditioning for Queens of the Stone Age and why he’ll never be on a Desert Sessions recording (hint: it’s too hot), how the democratic process influences his preferred number of band members, what’s the best tank-driving song on THIAM, what a Pledge campaign is really like for bands, how softer is sometimes better when recording drums, why it’s good to have an app on your phone to order food in the studio, and much, much more. Grab a beverage and a snack, and plant yourself in a comfortable chair for this two-plus hour in-depth discussion.Songs in this episode:Intro - The Focus19:42 - Hot Traveler36:33 - A.M.

It’s been twenty-five years since Mother Love Bone released their one and only album, Apple. Neither hair metal nor grunge, the band bridged an interesting time between the 80s and 90s. To help us revisit, we’re joined by Eric Peterson of the Love That Album podcast to talk Mother Love Bone, Andrew Wood, Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam, the Singles soundtrack and much more.Songs in this EpisodeIntro - Stardog Champion4:01 - History of the Band27:28 - Gentle Groove31:36 - Mr. Danny Boy47:48 - Man of Golden WordsOutro - Crown of Thorns Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review /

We’re checking out Throwing Muses 1991 album The Real Ramona, that last to feature Tanya Donelly as a full time member alongside Kristin Hersh. There is plenty to like about the twin-guitar attack and layered vocals of Donelly and Hersh, but a few we had a few complaints as well. Are we are on target, or do our criticisms miss the mark? Tune in to find out.Songs in this Episode:Intro - Counting Backwards4:13 - Not Too Soon5:49 - History of the Band13:12 - Honeychain17:04 - Ellen WestOutro - Say Goodbye Follow on Twitter / Facebook
