The year was 1982. The place, Seattle. This was long before the grunge movement would solidify the city's place in music history. The early 80s were still riding on the backs of the punk movement, and 17 year old guitar prodigy Duff McKagen would find himself interwoven with this underground band of likeminded kids rebelling against politics and their parents. They called themselves The Living. But just as they were making a splash, they went into the studio to record an album and it was never released. Until many years later. Join me today for this bitesized episode where we go over who The Living was, how their debut album got stored in a box forgotten about, and what it actually sounds like. Plus I give my review of the album.

Joan Jett never gave a damn about her bad reputation. She's remained an iconic female vocalist that proved women would dominate the once male run music industry, especially in the rock and punk genres. Brought up in a strictly religious family in Pennsylvania, she found her way to LA where she changed her name, chopped off her hair, and adored black leather jackets where she was reborn. The Runaways was her first major success with her all-girl rock group at only 15 years old with massive hits like "Cherry Bomb". Seemingly this fame was not enough to be taken seriously by record companies because her debut solo album was rejected by 23 labels. Join me today as I take you though the volatile teen years of Joan in The Runaways with their abusive manager, how she struggled with the breakup of the band, to her overcoming mainstream rejection of her solo work and forever remained as the "Godmother of punk" with The Blackhearts.

Sibling duo Karen and Robert Carpenter formed a band together in the late 60s at a time when hard rock groups and psychedelia was the norm. The Carpenters were easy listening and produced soft pop ballads. They initially struggled to acquire a recording contract and fan base. Their string of hit singles like "Close to You", "Superstars", and "Rain Days and Mondays" propelled them into stardom. Karen was the drummer and she would sing behind her massive Ludwig kit for most of their career until she got pushed out of her shell and sang to the adoring crowd. Her sweet angelic voice made her unforgettable. Unfortunately, unknown to most of the world, Karen was slowly dying as a result from her longstanding easting disorder that she kept hidden. An unhappy marriage coupled with this, and her struggles with fame, makes her story a sad one. Join me today as we discuss how the Carpenters rose to fame given the obstacles, and what led to Karen's untimely death.

Jane's Addiction is a rock band that formed in LA in the 80s. They had just released their third album by 1991 and they were set to go on a final tour before their breakup.

From that moment on, the festival became an unexpected success and catapulted the music scene with similar music festivals such as Coachella. However, a few rocky years and the mainstream nature of Lollapalooza brought upon it's downfall, until it's rebirth in the 2000s.

Bobby Caldwell is a musician that is most famous for his hit song "What You Won't Do For Love" that was released alongside his debut album in 1978. As part of the marketing strategy to promote his album, and as to not alienate his label's predominately black audience, they thought it was best to hide the fact that Bobby was actually white. It came as a massive shock when his fans saw him for the first time, expecting him to be black because of his singing voice alone! People have continued to be surprised by this fact, with a multitude of videos online reacting to his music for the very first time. It's a mystery of sorts that has spanned generations of music lovers. Today we look at his upbringing, his inspirations, how he thought about his music career, and more.

The year is 2004. Eric Prydz released an explosive number 1 dance tune called Call On Me with an equally famous music video that swept the world and has continued to make history. However, Eric Prydz along with Ministry of Sound stole that song along with others before him for notoriety. To understand this story we have to look back to the song's origins in Paris, France to see that Thomas Bangalter (one half of Daft Punk) and DJ Falcon together created the song and refused for it to be released mainstream. Take this journey with me as we peel back the layers of sabotage and expose how Eric Prydz and the other key players in this story got away with ripping an indie French House song into a massive hit record.

The Manic Street Preachers were the up and coming Welsh rock band that emerged in the 90s and swept the UK with their punk attitude. Richey Edwards was the face of the band, and he certainly made a name for himself on the scene with his looks and how he'd present himself in interviews. He spoke candidly about his struggles with mental health, and his tendency to self harm was a subject he let the world see plain as day. However to the surprise of his friends and family, Richey disappeared the day Manic was supposed to embark on their breakout American tour on February 1 1995. To this day, he has not been found and his case has been shrouded with theories. Was this a suicide, or did he stage his own disappearance for a new life? We look at the details surrounding his puzzling disappearance, the mind of Richey Edwards, and more.

The story of Badfinger is one of triumph that quickly descends into a spiral of despair. A small band from Wales, they were touring around the UK performing Motown and Beatles covers until they were picked up by The Beatles themselves and became the first non-Beatles recording artist signed to their newly formed Apple Records. Paul McCartney gave the group their first big hit single "Come and Get It", and the rest of the members helped to boost their career. They would turn out more hit songs like "No Matter What", "Day After Day", and "Without You". However, this success would leave as quickly as it came in a contract gone wrong that would have devastating losses. Listen along with me as we talk about the fame and tragedies that befell Badfinger.

It's 1990s in New York; the East Coast was thriving with up-and-coming rappers, DJs, and hip-hop groups trying to make a name for themselves. One of these groups was A Tribe Called Quest. It features Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and Jarobi White. They were school friends in the Queens suburb that would go on to create music that would set the standard of hip-hop and rap for generations to come. They were also part of a collective of other Afrocentric artists called Native Tongues that make up De La Soul, Jungle Brothers, Queen Latifa, and others that used their music to speak on important social issues, and set a certain aesthetic that highlighted their heritage. The eclectic sampling of Quest's music, the unique flows of Q-Tip and Phife Dawg, as well as blending soul with jazz in their songs made them stand out as a force to be reckoned with. Today, we look at their story and the critically acclaimed albums they made.

Take yourself back to the early 2000s. Do you remember when skateboarding was really taking off in a major way unlike ever before? You may also remember a specific logo, the heartagram (a heart and a pentagram combined) that was making waves. Maybe you know someone that has that logo tattooed on them. Well, did you know the heartagram actually originated from the band HIM? On today's episode, we look at the story of Philadelphia pro skater Bam Margera and how he singlehandedly brought HIM out of Europe and into the fold of American culture in every capacity. The heartagram logo is one that ties together Bam and HIM not only in friendship, but in a smart business move that propelled the popularity of HIM in an extremely major way. Even if you maybe don't know this story, it's a fascinating one. Let's dive in.

'Tis the season to be jolly, spend with with those you care about, and listen to some holiday tunes. Some of you might know this song and others have surely heard it but didn't know it's a Christmas song. The Pogues, a Celtic punk rock band founded in London, created the most bewildering Christmas song that blew the minds off of people in 1987. They managed to cause a stir regarding the censorship over the song's lyrical content that still is a hot topic of debate in the UK and Ireland every Christmas season. Fairytale of New York, a song about homesickness, getting drunk on Christmas Eve, and a tumultuous relationship that somehow manages to stick together through adversity. On today's episode we look at how the song came about and the lasting impression it's left.

Seattle was bursting at the seams with up and coming talent in the late 80s/early 90s that were making waves in the music scene. As we all know, there are four main bands at this time that defined the grunge era and what it stood for. One of those bands at front and center of it all is Nirvana; starring frontman and guitarist Kurt Cobain, bass player Krist Novoselic, and drummer Dave Grohl. Nirvana has been heralded as the face of grunge, as they were one of the first rock bands in Seattle to flip the script and make it commercially big with their music. They were a hit with the new generation of young adults coming out of the hair metal era of the 80s and into something they never heard before. Today we take a look at the members before they became Nirvana, how they became so successful, from Bleach to In Utero and to Kurt Cobain's untimely death in 1994.
