About Backtracking
Backtracking Season 3!
After diving deep into Rush and AMC, the Backtracking crew returns to dissect every track from the legendary to the cult-classic. From the Prince of Darkness (Ozzy) to the stadium heights of U2 and Sting, we’re covering it all. Expect doom metal (Candlemass), 80s icons (Men at Work), indie gems (Idaho, Gang of Youths), and even Barenaked Ladies. Three friends, every album, zero skips.
