Ep. 351: Grave Mistake: SLOAN Shoulda Been Huge!!! pt.2
This week, we are back with part 2 of a “…Shoulda Been Huge!!!” episode for Halifax, NS, Canada’s very own: SLOAN! We covered 1992-2001 in Ep. 348; this time, we bring you up to date with releases from 2003 to 2025. Sloan is the quintessential Canadian power-pop act—blending '70s hard rock riffs, Beatles-esque vocal harmonies, and indie rock grit—and they’ve earned gold albums and a Juno in their home country. We think it is a grave mistake that they are not as revered everywhere in the world!

Ep. 350: Dusty Crate Diggin'
For Ep. 350, we explore inner space. You're invited inside the mind, the mad labyrinth, the curation and discovery data center where artists and albums become InObscuria! Come on the journey with us as we explore record shops and the dusty old crates in the back of the store. How do these gems find their way to the show? Is it fate? Is it chance? We are going to share the process with you here. Enter our 5th dimension if you dare…

Ep. 349: Beneath The Hair Vol. 13 – Forgotten Glam Metal – A Hair Too Late!
This week we make hard choices: Aquanet or White Rain? That’s right, we are once again diving hair-first into the world of obscure glam metal. We are focusing on the bands that arrived on the scene just a hair too late: the years 1991-1993. They wanted to party like it was 1989, but a grungy storm from the Pacific Northwest was coming to crush their party vibes. If you like it glammy, sleazy, and trashy, this is your show!

We think it is a grave mistake that they are not as revered everywhere in the world!

Ep. 345: In The Shadow Of... METALLICA!
This week, a continuation of our series called “In The Shadow Of…”, where we compare bands to a well-established mainstream act. This is not about copycats, but about artists that have similar vibes, share a sonic soundscape, or whose songwriting and playing styles are sympatico. This is another band near and dear to both of you humble hosts. A band that sits atop the pedestal of all things “heavy”. A band that defined metal in the 80s and 90s while becoming somewhat polarizing in more recent years; the iconic METALLICA! Join us as we discover other bands who were influenced and inspired by this hella great band.

Ep. 344: Degrees Of Separation... TODD KERNS
This week brings another installment of “Degrees Of Separation…,” where we dig into the side projects, supergroups, and solo releases connected to a particular artist. This time, we pay tribute to a rock n’ roll workhorse and journeyman from the Great White North: a jack-of-all-trades musician who seems to be single-handedly keeping many of the legacy artists we love in fighting shape. He’s not only a multi-instrumentalist and consummate rock star, but he also has some of the best pipes in the business. Of course, we’re talking about TODD “DAMMIT” KERNS!!!
