Hello all and welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a podcast about music and all that.
On this week's episode Steve is joined by Metal Hammer mate Rich Hobson, who is going to take us for a ride. We look at the great art of the road trip playlist, with Rich creating a full, two hour long, 28 track playlist for our fictional journey across the country. From classic Americana, to driving stoner rock, to booming hip hop, to soul pop chart botherers, it's all here.
There's also chat about new music from Foo Fighters and many others, we raise a glass to Skindred who are celebrating a UK number one album and there's a lost banger from Wiz Khalifa.

It's time for another movie review on Trve. Cvlt. Fvlm! it's a bonus one as well, as Steve looks at the recently released Michael Jackson biopic, the imaginatively titled Michael.
Directed by Training Day director Antoine Fuqua, starring Jackson's own nephew Jaafar Jackson in the title role and (UH OH!) brought to you by the producers of Bohemian Rhapsody, Michael looks at the life of the biggest pop star of all time from his humble beginnings in 1966 to the height of his fame on the Bad tour in 1988. In between we get all of the usual music biopic tropes, but with Jackson's life being significantly different to those artists whose lives have recently received a cinematic retelling, it's an oddly uncanny plot that Michael hangs on. Does it work or is it more music biopic cut and past slop? You're about to find out!

Hello and welcome to this week's Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a podcast all about music.
On this weeks show, Steve is joined by Ken Andrews from legendary 90's alt-rock band Failure. To celebrate the release of their brand new album Location Lost, Ken chooses 5 albums for us to debate and discuss, leading to chat about everything from bad backs to, hopefully, an upcoming Failure UK tour.
There's also a review of new releases from Skindred and Nine Inch Noize.

Hello, here's something a bit different for you, it's a mash up episode of Trve. Cvlt. Fvlm! and Trve. Crvp. Pop! as Sam and Steve look at the 2016 movie and soundtrack album of David Brent: Life on the Road, released on the 19th of August 2016.
David Brent, of course, is the fictional character that was the focus of The Office, one of British comedies finest ever shows. After a mere two series and one Christmas special, that was about as perfect as television could be, the character was retired by creator Ricky Gervais after that, or so we thought. A decade after The Office, Gervais brought Brent back for a Comic Relief sketch and tour with his fictional band Foregone Conclusion. So successful was it that he decided to expand on the idea of Brent living out his rock star dreams with a full blown movie, showing his exploits out on tour.
It made about half of its £10m budget back and was generally not that well received, but ten year's down the line, how does it hold up? And are we looking at the whole pie Jenny?
