In this new episode our heroes explain how their hopes were dashed by the band Incubus. Along the way they discuss X-Men 97, Soccer!? and why Stefan was caught ugly crying in his car. Let’s not forget the trademark humour and tangents that the guys are becoming known for!

In this new episode, the boys launch a new format, reflecting on recent gigs they've attended such as ASP Allumni Cheekface, and Sweedish Garage Rockers the Hives.

In this preposterous post-grunge adventure our heroes explore the sonically chameleon and genre bending Stone Temple Pilots and their not so sophomore slump ‘Purple’. Following the breakout commercial success of their debut, the band were faced with critical backlash with the press writing them off as grunge wannabes. The band set out to prove that they were much more than a nirvana tribute band and went about writing one of the truly eclectic records of the 90s. Of course throughout the episode, they bring their warped sense of humour and plenty of laughs. We are in a period of rebuilding/rebranding and have temporarily paused the Friends of the Show subscriptions. That being said, you can browse through our Mellowtron and Retro designs in the merch store. You can also witness the page so big that it slows the entire internet each time it is loaded, the top 10 page on our site as well as drop us a cheeky voicemail message to suggest an album to study/say g’day.

In this indie illustration our heroes dive deep into a newly discovered band. With thanks to a spotify algorithm, Jake was turned onto the gloriously moderate world of Californian indie rockers Cheekface, and their 2022 release ‘Too Much to Ask’. Hooked in by the immediacy of the dry mix, staying for the lyrics and… cheek of the band (can you really blame me with that pun, I kind of had to), Cheekface are proving strong contenders for the ASoundPurchase awards of 2023. Of course throughout the episode, they bring their warped sense of humour and plenty of laughs.

The guys discuss Phoebe Bridgers' 'Punisher'

The guys discuss Killing Joke's 2003 eponymous record 'Killing Joke'

In this special edition of ASoundPurchase our heroes navigate the confined dwellings of Crowded House and their 1991 release ‘Woodface’. A massive band from Stefan’s youth, he was adamant that this was not the album to talk about, instead wanting to talk about the next in the catalogue ‘together alone’; or even the most recent ‘dreamers are waiting’. Yet, this remains a special episode because it was chosen by YOU, the listener, and Stefan knew he couldn’t turn you down. Our heroes travel over the various lineup manouvres and recording sessions that patchworked together to create this album and launched the band’s career in the UK in a big way. Of course throughout the episode, they bring their warped sense of humour and plenty of laughs.

In the second jet back to Japan in recent weeks, our heroes delve deep into the cyber-tech world of Mad Capsule Markets and their 2001 release ‘OSC DIS’. With influences ranging from the early Nu-Metal sonority of Slipknot right through to the Ramones-meets-Dick-Dale surf punk from California. The rapid mood changes in this record ensure that the listener can never lose focus. Of course throughout the episode, they bring their warped sense of humour and plenty of laughs.

In this adventure of awe our heroes take a look into the falsetto-filled world of friends and acquaintances which is Bon Iver’s ‘i,i’. At the time of release, each track was released separately over a series of hours and fans were encouraged to form listening parties to soak in the melodies. Packed with guests and co-writers, this album is a complex treasure trove of ideas and songs. Of course throughout the episode, they bring their warped sense of humour and plenty of laughs.

In this folly of fusion our heroes find themselves in Japan studying Polysics. From jumpsuits and Doc Brown inspired glasses, to the beautiful fusion of many contemporary genres. There is something delightfully rudimentary about their approach, although as with most things seemingly simple, there is much more than meets the eye.
