Trve. Cvlt. Pop!

Hello, it's another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, it's all about music stuff innit.
On this weeks show, Steve and Gaz are joined by UK punk legend Gizz Butt, known for his work in English Dogs, The Prodigy, Janus Stark and many, many more, Gizz picks five albums from his illustrious career for us to pick through.
There's also reviews on new albums from Neurosis, Chalk, Elucid & Sebb Bash and Worries and Other Plants, and live reports on recent shows by Carpenter Brut, A and Elbow. There's also a long lost lovely arena rock rager from Simple Minds.

Morning crap pop pickers, it's another look at some of the worlds worst music, as we give you another episode of Trve. Crvp. Pop!
On this week's show, sadly, Sam has been struck down by a malevolent being... or he's just feeling a bit poorly, and he can't be here. Luckily, what knight from yonder should cross our paths? Why it's Paul Waller of the excellent A Year in Horror podcast. He's here as we discuss Kiss' Music from "The Elder" the 9th studio album from the hard rock legends, released on the 10th of November 1981.
We later 70's going into the 80's was a squiffy ol time for Kiss. They had embraced disco, gone pop, seen ticket and album sales take a nose dive and even their plans for a Kiss themed amusement park (which I'm sure you'll agree, we'd all love to have seen) were shelved.
When original drummer Peter "The Cat" Criss exited the band, to be replaced by Eric Carr and his, not as good, Fox make up, Kiss knew they had to stop the slump. And what better way to do that than to write a concept album based on a short story by bassist Gene Simmons about... well... a boy...? And he... he's got to train to save...? Look, we're not really sure. But producer Bob Ezrin, fresh off the success of Pink Floyd's The Wall, was brought in to make it all hang together. In reality, all he did was get other people in to play over the members of Kiss' tracks and bump a shit load of cocaine. Guitarist Ace Frehley hated it, the rest of the band were immediately embarrassed by it, it went down in infamy as one of the worst albums in rock history. But, how bad is it really? We'll let you know.

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a pod music podcast.
On this episode we're joined once more by Merlin Alderslade, pulling double duty this week, as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of the biggest singles in the history of UK music, The Prodigy's immortal Firestarter, by looking through the entire career of the Essex dance-crossover legends and picking a single, favourite song from each of their 7 studio albums.
There's also chat on new music from Poison the Well, Murkage Dave, Eihwar and more, a review of a very disappointing night out seeing Echo and the Bunnymen and a long forgotten 2000's mash up that is one of the genre's finest.

Hello and welcome to a rare outing of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Reviews. The show where we focus on one single album that we believe deserves your love and give it our full attention.
On this episode Steve is joined by Merlin Alderslade to talk about the debut album from maximalist pop duo Haute and Freddy, Big Disgrace.
Haute and Freddy are Michelle Buzz and Lance Shipp, a pair that were writing songs for the likes of Kylie, Katy Perry, Britney Spears and more in LA, before deciding to go it alone. With a look that is part Elizabethan Clown, part Marie Antoinette, part cast of Saltburn, and songs that mash up everything from Lady Gaga to Depeche Mode to Marina to Goldfrapp to The Human League their debut album is one of the most perfect examples of modern pop that you'll be likely to hear this year... maybe any year.

Hello friends! Welcome to another exciting episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! It's all about music innit.
On this weeks show, our old buddy Sam Sleight is here to talk about the most integral artists in two of his favourite musical genres, as we induct 4 bands onto the Mount Rushmore of noise rock and industrial.
Plus there are reviews on new music from Harry Styles, Lamb of God, Mitski and Carpenter Brut, a lost pop tune from Fiction Factory and we look at David Draiman weirdly getting up in Franz Ferdinand's faces.
