Static Rage

As March rolls on we spin a Celtic punk classic.

It is way past the time we talked about Flogging Molly's debut.

Twenty-five years ago today, Dropkick Murphy released their second album. Given that it is March and we always talk Celtic punk during March, you knew we had to discuss this.

Halloween is almost on us and we review some "Boo-Wop"

It's time for some cowpunk for Halloween.

We are back with a look at some psychobilly.

It is still March, so we are back with some Irish "rebel music."

To celebrate St. Patrick's day, we've gone full-on Irish traditional with our look back at the first studio album by the Dubliners. 

Slinking down an alleyway near you, come Buzz & Ben to juke and jive. 

Psychedelic Texas blues rock is what we are spinning this week.  

We are back from hiatus with one of Buzz's favorite albums of the '10s. The debut by Swedish psychedelic doom rockers Ghost. 

In what will be our last episode of the year, we decided to head back to the West Coast and check out the Suicidal Tendencies transitionary album. 

This week, we get all dolled up and spin some proto-punk. 

It was time for us to discuss one of the most infamous names in punk, GG Allin. 

We often talk about how similar country and punk music can be, so it was only a matter of time before we landed on an album that exemplified what we meant. 

Buzz & Ben bring you an end-of-week Halloween special. Never mind the date on the calendar. We discuss the discography of Samhain!

Time for some foundational psychobilly. 

It is officially October, and we have turned our ears to the Damned. 

It is October Eve, and Buzz and Ben are feeling spooky. Come listen to us discuss the tale of Melissa. 

An album that neither of us had heard of but with an interesting legacy. 

I bet you missed us; we're back! This time spinning the second album by GWAR as Buzz prepares to journey to one of their live shows. 

One last Celtic punk album to go, this time one up from Australia. Check it out. 

To end March we spin the fifth album by Scottish-Canadian Celtic punk band The Real McKenzies, 10,000 Shots.

It is time for a spin of the 2005 album by Irish Celtic-Punk outfit Blood or Whiskey, Cashed Out on Culture. One of Buzz's favorites.  

March is once again upon us, and that means that Buzz & Ben look at Celtic Punk. So here we are, with the second studio from the London based group The Pogues, Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash. Enjoy! 

Buzz & Ben discuss the debut album by the London outfit that birthed Billy Idol. The self-titled Generation X! Opinions on this one....vary. 

We head out to Southern California, to check out the debut album by the band X. Long considered a foundational punk/post-punk album. Did it live up to our expectations?

This week we review an album straight out of a Canadian obscenity trial. Canadian punk at its most vulgar? 

After an unexpected and extended break, Buzz & Ben return to an early 90s state of mind. L.A. three-piece Concrete Blonde's third album, Bloodletting. Get your bloodletters, your dice, and join us on a spiritual pilgrimage to New Orleans. 

It's the night before Halloween and time for us to let out our inner fiends and talk about the legendary Misfits and the 1996 Boxset that compiles the majority of their recorded material. Whoa, you don't want to miss this. 

As the end of October nears Buzz & Ben take a tour of the output of Bella Morte from the beginning of the century. "Fall No More" From Music from the Succubus Club (2000). Where Shadows Lie (2000), The Death Rock EP (2001), and The Quiet (2002).

Buzz & I weren't able to record this week, but I found an episode I forgot to upload in season 1. The one and only studio album by Minor Threat. 

October is here and it always buts Ben in the mood for Dark Wave. So he chose the 2018 album by Night Club, Scary World to review this week. What will Buzz think? Tune in and check it out. then listen to the new Night Club album that released on October, 9th. 

There is a full moon this week and it is October. So we decided to do something slightly different this week. We take a look at the.....controversial.....seventh studio album. Host, by gothic doom metallers Paradise Lost. On this album, they decided to try there hand at a dark/new wave album. What did we think?

September ends with a listen to what is essentially a greatest hits album. 1998's Crackle, Buzz selected this album to provide an overview of Bauhaus's album and single release work. As the nights grow longer, listen, and reminisce. 

Buzz & The Reverend Dangerously return for season two! Summer 2020 is making its way out the door but before it goes it leaves us this album of Weird West tunes straight up from Hell and Texas. Come listen to what we have to say about our walk down the streets of Ghoultown. 

Buzz and Ben return for the season 1 finale! This episode, we turn to a classic album that neither of us had heard of before the debut album by the British outfit, The Crack. Ben discovered it by listening to Henry Rollin's KCRW radio show and knew that we had to do it. Check it out! We are also taking a break for a couple of months between seasons. We discuss why in the episode but want to say thank you to all tens of our listeners out there.  Catch you in a bit!

Buzz & Ben return to the psychobilly dance floor and give P. Paul and the boys another spin with 1989's "Undead, Unfriendly, and Unstoppable." This time out The Meteors are coming in with a more mature and confident sound. Will it live up to the psychobilly fury of Wreckin' Crew? Tune in and see. 

The time has come for us to look at the debut album by Black Flag. Nuff Said. 

We finally turn our attention to one of the most well-known albums of the Punk genre. London Calling, the third album by the Clash. An interesting discussion occurs around whether this is punk or not. Join us! 

The boys stay head back down to Texas for a Psychobilly Freak Out. So join us for the 1990 debut of The Reverend Horton Heat, Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em. So make sure you have a big ol' steak and join in the fun.  

After Mourning Sun left a bad taste in their mouths, Buzz and Ben go back to 1987 to check out Fields of Nephilim's debut album. Gothic Western happiness ensues. 

Buzz & Ben head down to Texas for one hell of a trippy experience. The sixth studio album by the legendary wild Butthold Surfers, Independent Worm Saloon. What will they think? Check it out. 

Buzz and Ben turn their attention to one of the legendary albums of the California Punk scene. The debut of the Descendents, Milo Goes to College. 

What is in an album name? Well, in the case of T.S.O.L.'s third studio album a lot. The band line up had significantly changed from their debut album that we looked at last week. With the new members came a shift in sound. Will we like it better? Tune in and find out!

This week Buzz & Ben look at this Hardcore Punk turned Death Rock band from California True Sounds of Liberty (T.S.O.L.) and their debut studio album from 1981 Dance with Me. The boys talk about the band's evolution and what worked and didn't on this album. They also go off on a dark tangent about necrophilia in media. Tune in. 

This week Buzz & Ben are giving you twice the album reviews for the same low, low price. We wanted to discuss the Circle Jerks' debut album Group Sex but since the runtime was only a shade over 15 minutes we decided to add their follow-up album Wild in the Streets to the record deck. This California hardcore punk band spun out of Black Flag and became legends. Listen and see if we think the music matches the reputation. 

Buzz & Ben head to the Batcave to discuss the gothic sound of Alien Sex Fiend's second studio album, Acid Bath. The conversation expands to whether this is a dance album and the legacy of this English Group on modern industrial and electronic music. Check it out!
