Dig Me Out - The 90's rock podcast

Our latest listener request takes us back down under to revisit the 1999 album Grand Slam by Spiderbait, an odd mix of power pop, metal, trip-hop, brit pop and just about every other genre from the 90s. In fact, Grand Slam feels like a 90s mix that tries to cover a variety of sounds from the decade (minus ska and nu-metal, thankfully). It's weird, it's long, and we kinda dig it. Tune in to find out why. Songs in this Episode: Intro - Shazam! 2:21 - History of the Band 7:49 - Shazam! 10:13 - Bessy's Last Journey 13:17 - King of the Northern Outro - Glokenpop Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review

Having just explored the lone album from the Holy Barbarians, we decided to investigate further the guitar/drum combo of Patrick Sugg and Scott Garrett on their 1991 self-titled album by Neverland. On the edge of 80s glam metal and 90s alternative, Neverland isn't as easy to pin down as you might think, but do they do any of it particularly well? Tune in to find out.

Almost 12 years to the day, Teenage Fanclub released their third, and some would say best, album Bandwagonesque. To help us dissect the album Spin choose as Album of the Year in 1991 (over titles like Nevermind, Badmotorfinger and Ten) is Andy Derer of The Andy Derer show. Power pop bands like Teenage Fanclub never reached the heights of success that grunge bands achieved, but that didn't stop a legion of Big Star followers from trying.  Songs in this Episode: Intro - December 5:44 - History of the Band 11:53 - What You Do To Me 34:20 - Alcoholiday Outro - The Concept Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review

Jason has a pick for our latest episode, and it's an oddball among oddballs. Ian Astbury and The Cult towed the line between goth, hard rock and alternative, and after their break-up, he continued down the road less taken and formed Holy Barbarians. Their lone album, 1996's Cream, stands out with it's nods to '60s psychedelia combined with modern keyboard-centric twists. Our review of the self-titled 1994 Cult album ended with gushing praise, so how does the unofficial follow-up fare? Tune in to find out. Songs in this Episode: Intro - Space Junkie 2:48 - History of the Band 9:55 - You Are There 12:32 - Dolly Bird 20:27 - Brother Fights Outro - Bodhisattva Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review

To wrap up our Fall of New Releases by 90s Bands schedule, we revisit the 1999 album Emergency & I by Dismemberment Plan, who recently reunited to release the new album Uncanney Valley out this week. Emergency & I combines a whole bunch of alternative rock royalty, like the Pixies, Pavement, Talking Heads and Gang of Four just to name a few, and produces a wholly individual sound. One of us is on board the D-Plan's ride, the other wants to get off after just a few stops. Yes, it's disagreement time! Songs in this Episode: Intro - Gyroscope 2:30 - History of the Band 11:50 - What Do You Want Me To Say? 15:59 - A Life of Possibilities 20:40 - I Love A Magician Outro - Back and Forth Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review
