Usually, we like to space things out. You may have noticed that over the years, we'll do a metal album one week, then perhaps change it up with electro or something else. So, for us to do two post-hardcore/noise rock(ish) records so close together is a bit unheard of. But hey, what's the point of having a set of rules if you don't break them occasionally?

We've been doing this show for a ridiculously long time. Too long, some might say. In those six and a half years (give or take a few months), we've managed to rack up a decent amount of subscribers. For some of our longest-standing subscribers, we give them the opportunity to pick a record for us to cover. This week, Todd Khul chose Face of Collapse by the Dazzling Killmen.

We welcomed this choice, especially since it's a band Chris has also wanted to tackle for a while. So this week, we're diving deep into their short discography and offering some insights into their equally short career.

Sound is a pound is always good fun. You'd be amazed what you can pick up for a quid in a charity shop. It's been about 18 months since our last one of these and frankly, we'd forgotten what albums we'd "gifted" each other at the end of the last episode. So Mark decided to pick two that he'd bought for Chris: Planet Claire by The B-52's (a strange compilation what was not released by the band's label, Warner Brothers) and Highly Evolved by The Vines.

There's some surprises in this episode. There's also somethings that won't be surprising at all to long time fans. We'll leave you to figure out which is which...

John Congleton is a great producer, and as it turns out, also a great musician. The Paper Chase were, for many years, his only musical project and even as his star began to rise as a producer, he was still churning out unsettling, chromatic, occasionally catchy, often nasty music. Often described as a combination of avant-garde jazz, indie and punk, the band tick all of those boxes and much more.

This week we're talking about their second album, Hide the Kitchen Knives which helpfully/frustratingly is only available on YouTube. An album so twisted that it actually gave Mark nightmares. We also talk about the band's discography at large and chat about why some albums never seem to make it to streaming platforms.
