It's time for an exclusive review podcast on what we hope will be the sound of 2024, and a cultural phenomenon like what that Barbenheimmer was last year! Two of our favourite young bands have released new albums on the same day, and even though they're really different, they're also really similar. In the hot pink corner we have 3am (La La La), the third album from Aussie dance-pop duo Confidence Man. In the grey corner we have Guided Tour, the third album from London's indie rock inspired hardcore crew High Vis. Two albums we're very excited about, two albums that should see both bands scale new heights and two albums that, spoiler, we LOVE!

Hello friends, welcome to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, it's all about music basically. On this weeks show we are getting excited about the fact that we are tantalisingly close to getting a new album from goth legends The Cure, their first in 16 years! We'll be reviewing that, of course, but in the meantime, we decided to go back through their entire discography and pick one song from each of their, usually, brilliant records. There's also chat about the disastrous SNL skit where famous cockneys Noel and Liam Gallagher bicker and a review of the recent Lauryn Hill and Fugees show at the O2, which... well, it was a LOT.

It's time for another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! podcast, it's about music basically. On this weeks show we look at six more releases from last month that we think are well worth your time. There's chat on new albums from Fred Again..., Ezra Collective, The The, The Black Dahlia Murder, Joan as Policewoman and Nada Surf.

Welcome back to another TCP... yeah, we're shortening it for time. On this week's show we look at a bunch of really, really great records from September. Including both of our faves from the months. There's chat on big new ones from Mercury Rev, MJ Lenderman, Fat Dog, The Jesus Lizard, Floating Points and Zetra.

Hello, it's Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, a music podcast, here. Hope you're alright! On this week's show we go back to snaffle up even more of the cracking albums that were released in August and flob them back into your face in review form... not literally, that would be disgusting! But there's is perfectly hygienic chat about new releases from Doechii, Sofi Tukker, Charly Bliss, Zeal & Ardor, Melt-Banana, Thee Marloes and Swarmi John Reis. Plus we catch up on the music world having gone absolutely drunk on idiocy over the last few weeks, no Smiths reunion but a troublesome Linkin Park reunion? Yeah. Diddy... seems he did! Not that we really want to get into that quite yet.

Hello friends and welcome to another edition of Trve. Crvp. Pop!, where we try our very best to find the very worst album ever created in musical history. On this weeks episode we look at the 8th studio album from UK new wave legends Duran Duran, Thank You, released on the 27th of March 1995. Duran Duran were obviously massive in the 80's, but in the 90's it was far harder for the huge pop bands of that decade to succeed amongst a radically changing landscape. Duran Duran actually did manage it for a while though, their 1993 self-titled album (known as The Wedding Album) and it's lead single Ordinary World was a surprise smash. You'd think that all you'd need to do was make another one of them and you'd have yourself established as a proper 90's band... or you could do what Duran Duran did and make an album of covers. Covering the biggest artists of all time, from Bob Dylan to Public Enemy, Iggy Pop to The Temptations, Lou Reed to Led Zep, Elvis Costello to The Doors. Bold strategy, it killed their career for a while. But is it actually any good?

Hello everyone, it's a little bonus Trve. Cvlt. Pop! podcast as weren't able to give you our normal show and we have been trying to review the best records from August for what seems like forever. So here's a tiny selection of great stuff from Fontaines D.C., Hifi Sean & David McAlmont, Sabrina Carpenter, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, JPEGMAFIA and Nails.

Hello, welcome to not really a Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Podcast. No, it isn't. Steve was on holiday this week, so, rather than give you nothing at all, we've delved back into the archives of Gaz's old podcast, Track One Side One, an unearthed a cracker. This is Gaz's conversation with podcast high roller Stu Whiffen, he of the Off the Beat and Track, Hardcore Listing and many other shows, talking about Stu's 5 favourite album openers. If you'd like to hear more, search out Track One Side One wherever you get your podcasts from, there's 53 banging episodes ready for your consumption. We also pay tribute to legendary music PR Michelle Kerr, who sadly passed away this week. Please consider donating to her Gofundme here - https://www.gofundme.com/f/michelle-kerr-memorial-fund Normal service resumes next week.

Hey everyone, it's time for you to listen to this podcast, Trve. Cvlt. Pop! It's a slight change in scheduling this week, because Gaz is away and Steve is about to go away, so in steps Louder's own former editor of Metal Hammer and ex-podcast lad Merlin Alderslade. We discuss the events across the 12 months of 2009. Not a banner year in your mind possibly, but there's a very good chance that 2009 was the most eventful year for music so far in this Millennium. There were high profile deaths, the making of future superstars, the launching of the king of the streaming world, shocking events at awards shows and lots and lots of great albums that pointed toward where music was going were released. We talk about it all.

It's time for us to attempt to find the worst album ever made once again, that's correct, it's Trve. Crvp. Pop! On this episode we go back to the year 2001 and look at Urban Renewal, a tribute album to the work of Phil Collins, featuring a cast of R&B and hip-hop stars of the era... we aren't making this up by the way... it's really Ol' Dirty Bastard, Pharell Williams, Kelis, Brandy, Montell Jordan and... Dane Bowers... ? Honestly, we're not making this up. In the late 90's no one could have been less cool than Phil Collins, and so, obviously, this got a kicking. But is it really that bad? The third worst album ever bad? Korn's Daddy played on a piano bad? Not on your nelly!

Hello and thanks for joining us once again for an episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! it's a music podcast mate. It's episode 100, we've reached the milestone that is triple figures. As a sort of celebration all of the podcasts big players have got together, Steve, Gaz, Sam and Alasdair, to interview each other. We touch on everything from discovering noise rock, the definitive British band, what would make you commute to the other side of the world, living in Bosnia in the 90's, why one of us aren't into Linkin Park and, obviously, Alan Partridge. It's a lovely chat.

Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! it's a music podcast u kno. Where else could we go this week?... well, anywhere we wanted really, but we choose to spend the episode talking about one of the biggest music stories in forever; the reformation of Oasis after 16 years away. Will it work out? Who will be in the band with Liam and Noel? Who will support them? We pose all the questions. Plus, is it the biggest reunion of all time? Well, we'll dive into that too, picking some of the most shocking, surprising, successful and famous reunions in music's history and comparing them to the madness we've seen this week.

Welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a Shaggy Podcast... well, a music podcast, but this week Shaggy plays a HUGE part in the show. He's not totally dominant though, although... look it's a lot of Shaggy. But Steve and Gaz look at a recent article proclaiming the 25 most overrated albums of all time and see if the criticism holds up. Plus there is a report of a recent show in Gent by returning death metal heroes The Black Dhalia Murder. It WAS us actually.

Hey there YOU! welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! your definite favourite music podcast. This week Steve has been out and about, watching bands at both the recent Bloodstock Open Air Festival and Korn's first ever UK outdoor headlining show at Gunnersbury Park, talking about raisins, going to festivals and getting his hearing blown clean off. Great. Gaz hasn't, but he is happy to chuck his two cents in for thoughts on the official announcement for next year's iteration of the BOA Festival. It's gonna be good that! We also do a very quick Box A, B, C game as well. Lovely stuff.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the podcast about all music, except, as you'll discover, rock music. On this episode we look at the second group of albums from July, which, we'll be honest, isn't quite as strong as the first. We look at new albums from Empire of the Sun, The Smashing Pumpkins, Denzel Curry, Soft Play, Rakim, Cigarettes After Sex, X and Los Campesinos. There's also a review, well more a drunken recollection, of Brighton Pride and Girls Aloud and a rant. A massive rant.

Yes mate! It's another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! your favourite music podcast. On this weeks show Steve and Gaz round up the best releases from July, starting with 10 bangers from Jack White, Berwyn, Eminem, Remi Wolf, Common and Pete Rock, Gorgon City, Orange Goblin, Childish Gambino, Hatti Vatt & Kessoncoda. Plus there are live reviews from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Wembley stadium and... Winnebago Deal, in a pub. Range! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING! It's an emergency Trve. Crvp. Pop!, the spin off of the Trve. Cvlt. Pop! podcast where we search for the worst album of all time. That's not what this is though, Steve and Sam are back because 2000's pop megastar Katy Perry has launched her return to music with a song that Rolling Stone have posited as "the worst comeback song of all time" so we felt that we needed to intervene. That's right, Katy is back, and rathe than the more serious stuff she has been doing over the last half a decade, we assume, like everyone else, we haven't listened to it properly really, but her bubblegum pop persona is back! good news eh! Well... you might want to sit down for this. See, she's only gone and written a feminist anthem with someone who has some, ahem, pretty shady back story, has made a mad as fuck video and has tried to pass the whole thing off as satire. Is it as bad as the rest of the world seems to think? Is it an affront to femininity? Or is something else going on here? It's a complex situation. Luckily, two straight men are here to let you know what to think. THANK GOD! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Steve and Gaz are in a GRUMPY mood as we delve into our own personal pet peeves in music and discuss the letters I, J, K and L in our A-Z of Atrocities. Expect furious vitriol aimed at classic heavy metal bands, Weller Dads, comedy music, awful Christmas cover songs, poorly placed venues, Leeds based, jaunty indie rock bands and more.Hey, it's not all bad though, we get a "Hoorah!" at the news that Gojira will be playing alongside Celine Dion and Lady Gaga at the Olympics opening ceremony, an "OOOHHH!" at the pretty ace list of Mercury Prize nominees and a "Yesssss!" as we discuss a great, lost classic from soul queen Natalie Cole.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

It's another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Podcast, a bloody music podcast mates! On this weeks show, thanks to the recent release of his latest album The death of Slim Shady, we take a look back at the entire discography of Eminem, one of the most unique, important and successful rappers in the genres history and pick one song from each of his albums that we feel is the finest moment. It's certainly an up and down discography, so, you know, expect some caviats!We also look at a lost classic from US indie rock band Mercury Rev, ask whether Tenacious D's recent split is the weirdest in musical history and talk loads about the football... skip the first bit if you're not fussed by that innit (13.09 if you're asking). ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the pop music pod... well, actually, very much not pop music this week. On this weeks show Steve does his best to finally try and make Gaz a fan of one of the most divisive sub-genres in music; death metal. We're joined by the lads from the excellent Bangers and Mosh podcast to see if we can finally sell him on the glory of death metal.The boys have picked 6 albums that they have specifically curated for Gaz, expect classic metal, prog, groove, hardcore aggression and much more.We also talk about recent live shows from Palm Reader and Harms Way, wish Sick of it All frontman Lou Koller all the best after his cancer diagnosis and remember a long lost grime banger from Lethal Bizzle's More Fire Crew.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Hello and welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a music podcast. On this weeks show, Steve and Gaz are pitting songs against each other in a fight to the death (well... a polite discussion actually) as to what is the definitive anthem of a certain subgenre. So, what is the definitive thrash rager, the song that encapsulates the spirit of UK punk rock, the song most likely to get your Auntie on the dancefloor, the ultimate defiant pride anthem or the winner of the battle of Brit-pop? This and more is discussed, just for fun like, they don't win anything.Also, Dave Grohl had a pop at Taylor Swift, Swifties reacted in a totally normal and measured way as per, Steve saw Nile Rogers and Sophie Ellis Bextor together, with the pair of them trying to play every single famous song ever made, and we look back at a lost tune from UK grebo legends EMF's post-Unbelievable career, when they tried to go all Faith No More! OH YEAH!!! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the music podcast. On this weeks show Steve and Gaz discuss the recent Download Festival, a fest that was filled with trouble; terrible music, bands pulling out, sponsors being chased off and all manner of problematic musicians on the bill. It wasn't all bad though, and there are a few great sets that took place over the weekend... was any of it as good as Steve seeing Confidence Man in Brighton though? That's a rhetorical question. There's a review of that as well.We also talk about the Paul McCartney UK tour... consisting of just two cities in the UK. And we look back at a rager from 80's sophisti-pop crew Living in a Box that is NOT the song Living in a Box. Nice.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, it's a music podcast... you know that. On this weeks show it's all gone a bit different from what we initially planned. Gaz is caught up at work, so luscious Sam Sleight stands in for him, and rather than do what we were originally going to do, we have decided to dedicate this week's show to Steve Albini, the legendary guitarist, frontman and producer, responsible for some of our collectively favourite records of the last 40-odd years. Steve and Sam pick three albums from the man to show why he was such a legend and talk about the influence and qualities that made him so revered. In happier news, we also look at one of the finest Eurovision entries in... well... maybe ever you know! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

What would we have spoken about if there was one back in those years? Well, let us tell you. We head back to 2015 and motor all the way up to 2022, to pick one album from each year that we feel we would have gone mad for if we had been doing the podcast at that time. Expect pure jazz, heartland indie punk, stadium pop, experimental rap, classic house, synthwave and more.We also chat about a banger from lost Aussie crossover crew 28 Days and wonder who had a shittier Coachella; Blur or Grimes. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

On this weeks show we are continuing our look at some of our least favourite things in music as we go through letters E, F, G and H in our A-Z of Atrocities list. Find out why Steve and Gaz have no time for the band Enigma, a Freddie Mercury cash in album, the constant chatter around hardcore dancing, the bloke who formed Motown, album lists and a few other things. It's not all bad though, the new that Kerbdog will be playing their debut album in full, albeit only in their native Ireland so far, has Gaz all in a tizz, and we look back at an R&B classic from the 90's by Eternal.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, on this weeks episode we look at movie scores. It was the Oscars a few week back, with Oppenheimer winning the coveted best score award at the ceremony, and so we have decided to dedicate this episode to looking at what makes a great score, rather than soundtrack, in the movie world.

We look at four new releases (and 2 UK number one albums) from Liam Gallagher and John Squire, Shed Seven, Cast and Kula Shaker and see if they have rolled back the years and made albums worthy of their legacy.There's also chat about a Trve.

Steve and Gaz have decided to launch back into the tried and tested formula of the A, B, C Box Game that we love so much. You know the drill by now... but for those of you that don't, this is the deal; we take some overplayed songs of popular culture and decide if we would like them turned off (Box A), listen to them if they're on (Box B) or relentlessly play them FOREVER (Box C).

It's Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, a podcast about pop music. On this weeks show we discuss what has been a busy couple of days for us over at TCP Towers. Firstly, both Steve and Gaz headed down to London's O2 to watch The 1975, Still... At Their Very Best apparently, before hooking up for a lovely Valentines day treat seeing both Black Honey AND Crowded House on the same day, we then rushed back and fired up the YouTube's to see Usher's massive Superbowl Halftime performance. It's been pretty ace.It's amazing that we got to fit anything else in, but, seeing at it is 32 years since Bart Simpson topped the UK singles chart with Do The Bartman, we look at some of the most interesting examples of fictional artists and find 5 banging songs from Teen soap characters, cartoon cats, big screen musicians played by Lindsay Lohan and Hugh Grant and... whatever Damon Albarn thinks Gorillaz are these days. We also look back at a classic Lvst. Cvlt. Pop! from UK soul-pop nearly men JoBoxers. Ooooohhh it's a good show! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, a full on podcast about music innit. This week marks the 60th anniversary of the legendary performance by The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show on the 9th of February 1964. So, we decided to celebrate by looking at some of Gaz's favourite performances by bands in the years since. We go from art-pop with Wogan to glam rock with Jimmy Kimmel, stopping off for novelty grunge hits on Letterman and greasy rock and roll on TFI Friday along the way. We also have a quick chat about the recent Grammys and MOBO awards and pay tribute to the late Wayne Kramer of The MC5, who passed away this week.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a pop music podcast. VERY pop this week as Steve and Gaz enter the murky waters of cover versions by Boybands, a tricky place to navigate, as, in the main, boybands covering other people's songs get quite the bad rap. But we've had a good 'ol nose around and have come up with five each that we think are worth your time. From Take That and East 17 here on our own shores, to Boyz II Men and New Kids on the Block on the other side of the pond, there are some gems to be discovered... and some that might just be nostalgia on our part.There is also a report on Bring Me the Horizon's recent O2 show, two nights of Depeche Mode's UK tour and we also pay tribute to esteemed music journalist Neil Kulkarni, who passed away this week. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, this week Steve and Gaz have to move fast, which means there is no earworm of the week (wait till next week though! YOU'LL LOVE IT!) and we only get a couple of minutes to talk about the Coachella line up and why one of us is VERY excited by the return of No Doubt and the other one... well, he's threatening to leave before the encore. The reason for our haste? We're joined by a special guest in Black Honey lead singer and guitarist Izzy Phillips, who has taken our five album challenge mere weeks before her band heads out on their Inclusive Extravaganza tour, which culminates in a huge show at London's Kentish Town Forum.

On this weeks show Steve is joined by Sam Sleight, who tags in for Gaz, who is feeling a bit poorly right about now. GET WELL SOON GAZ! Steve and Sam discuss the events that took place across the month in January of 1991; which included a mad decision from The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, tragic events involving AC/DC and Def Leppard, Richey Manic showing the world that he was 4 Real and Iron Maiden scoring their only ever UK number one hit single with Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter. We also big up some bangers from LCD Soundsystem and The Blow Monkeys and wonder why Green Day have suddenly gone all political! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In the words of Noddy Holder, IT'S CHRISTMAS... yeah, we did do that. Ssssssorry about that. It's our last podcast of the year, so we've decided to take the many festive songs of the time and place them in Box A, Box B or Box C... if you don't know what that means, well, we tell you in the show.Also, who is that at our door on a cold December night?! Why, it's only Alter Bridge and Creed guitarist, and solo artist in his own right, Mr. Mark Tremonti. And he comes bearing the gift of his latest album; Mark Tremonti Christmas Classics Old & New. Mark gives us the lowdown on the holiday season at the Tremonti household before revealing his five favourite Christmas songs of all time. It's a right laugh! God bless us...

Welcome to Trve. Clvff. Pop! podcast, where we rank all of the most recent albums released by Sir Cliff Richard, part of the Trve. Crvp. Pop! podcast, where we search for the very worst album ever made, part of the Trve. Cvlt. Pop! podcast... which is just a music podcast basically. On this years show we look at Cliff With Strings - My Kinda Life, the 47th studio album from rake thin crooner, fat shamer and knight of the realm Sir Cliff Richard. It's basically a load of Cliff's songs, but with some orchestration on it! AMAZING! This might not have been such an event of a podcast if Cliff hadn't recently decided to call out Elvis Presley as a big fat disgusting blob recently, causing ire up and down the land in doing so. But, if we're honest, we're glad he did! We look at the furore, the album, the aftermath and we deep dive into the life and times of the legendary Lance Tankard... honestly. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to our search for the worst album ever made, here on Trve. Crvp. Pop!, the Trve. Cvlt. Pop! spin off. Nice eh! This week Steve and Sam are looking at the debut album from US electro duo The Chainsmokers, Memories... Do Not Open, released on the 7th of April 2017.Who are The Chainsmokers you ask? Well, it's only Andrew "Drew" Taggart and Alexander "Alex" Pall, a pair of "musicians" from New York, who decided to pool their "TALENTS" together to create some electronic dance music back at the start of the 2010's when that sort of thing began to get popular in the USA. Their first hit was 2014's #Selfie, which was a deeply obnoxious, but weirdly popular, viral hit about how women are stupid, vacuous idiots, set to the sound of tuneless, brainless dubstep! Ugh! Well... at least they can't get any worse eh!... you might want to sit down, we have some bad news. Memories... Do Not Open is every bit as bad as its title would suggest, but instead of energy drink glugging, Spring Break-core, it is full of weepy, electro, plinky piano self-loathing and "deep" lyrical content. Somehow, it manages to make The Chainsmokers even more dislikable than they already were. Some achievement, and it makes our hosts as angry as they have ever been in podcast form for some time. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

It's another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! for your little ears! This week Steve and Gaz are back to doing what they do best; reducing really famous and iconic songs into categories and filing them into imaginary boxes marked A, B or C depending on how much we like said tune... YES! It's the return of the A, B, C, Box game! Everyone from Weezer to Warren G, Queens of the Stone Age to Spice Girls get their biggest hit re-evaluated.Plus there is chat about the recent Symposium and A gig in London... probably too much chat if we're being brutally honest with ourselves, we discuss the German language after a Munich Mayor spilt the beans on the probability of an AC/DC tour in 2024, muse on why Cliff Richard HATES fat people SHOCKER! Even fat people who he has made a career out of copying, he really needs our help and, weirdly, we keep bringing up football legend Ian Wright's recent 60th birthday...? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! You've made an excellent decision to join us. On this weeks show Steve and Gaz do something that they both said they hated only mere weeks ago, discussing the entirety of the recently announced Download Festival line up. You've definitely heard all of this before... sssssssorry about that. Still, it's not all exhausting festival chat, nah, we also have decided to to invent a #FUN new game! Steve has picked 20 of the most critically adored and definitive classic albums of all time, and found 1 star user reviews of them from Google, Amazon and Rate Your Music, all Gaz has to do is guess the album! So, who is just making music to make depressed teenagers feel special? What classic album was created by rolling a bin down a grassy hill? Which legendary pop singer is just a "squeaky voiced gnome"? And why have we all been labelling a certain album a masterpiece of socio-political commentary when it was actually "meaningless, mainstream pop pap"?

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the music podcast. This week Steve and Gaz are at it again... when we say "at it" we meant rounding up a big 'ol load of releases from the past month. Firstly, blimey, there is a new Beatles song to talk about, who saw that coming?!

Welcome back to another lovely Trve. Cvlt. Pop! podcast. Steve and Gaz have been a pair of busy bees this week, heading out across the country to see live performances from Madonna, Discharge and Quicksand, together at last, and listening to long forgotten one hit wonders from the 80's and still putting out music one hit wonders from the 90's.But the real reason we're here it to take you back to exactly 27 years ago and retrace the steps that led to one of the most shocking departures from a band that happened in rock during our lifetimes; when Axl Rose kicked Slash out of Guns 'n' Roses. We look back on the madness, the drama, the solo projects, the creative differences, the GnR "Yoko Ono", the terrible covers and the chance meetings by swimming pools that all coalesced into one of hard rocks biggest ever bands falling apart... they made up though, it's all fine now, you might have heard about it.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to another search for the very worst album of all time, yes, it's Trve. Crvp. Pop!. Steve and Sam are back and are looking at My Beauty, the second solo album from former (and current) Dexy's Midnight Runners frontman, released on the 21st of September 1999.Rowland was one of the biggest stars in music in Britain in the 1980's, but after Dexy's split in 1987 he spiralled into depression and drug addiction and decided to quit music. After a spell living on the streets Rowland signed to Creation Records, home of Oasis, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine and, of course, 3 Colours Red, and released a set of covers, with the lyrics changed to reflect his recent struggles. It should have been a triumphant comeback, but Rowland decided to portray himself on the front cover wearing a dress and lingerie, much to the confusion of the UK music press, and then turn up fully made up and in a dress at the Reading Festival in 1999 a month before the album was released. It was a disaster and completely overshadowed the music on My Beauty. Rowland, it was reported, only sold 500 copies of the album and he became the punchline to many a joke at the time. But, 24 years on, does the music stand up? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a very nice podcast about music. This week Steve and Gaz begin a journey into musical excellence as we make a Mount Rushmore of TCP for as many musical genres as we possibly can.

Mount Rushmore. We're going to do it with ALL the genres, but start this week with three; Prog, Funk and Punk. Who makes it? Come listen to find out! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Reviews, where we take one recently released album and review it. Simple.On this Episode Steve is joined by Sam to look at the new album from Pittsburgh hardcore turned metal band Code Orange, The Above. After we all went mad for 2017's Forever and 2020's Underneath, there is a lot of pressure on Code Orange to keep their hot streak going. Does their fifth album manage to do so?

Welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Reviews, where we hyper focus on one new album that we think is worth your time and talk about it... and about British radio presenters from the 1980's... although not always that second bit. On this podcast we look at the brand new, and 16th, album from Australian pop legend Kylie Minogue, Tension. Kylie has been having a pretty decent time of it recently, in the aftermath of her 2020 lockdown album Disco she moved backed to her native Melbourne, and wrote this collection of songs that were meant to represent true classic Kylie anthemic disco pop. The lead single Padam Padam became her biggest hit in the US since the halcyon days of Can't Get You Out of My Head, perfectly setting up Tension's release. An album full of 80's synth pop, classy disco strutting, throbbing, deep house and glam campness all over the gaff. But... do Steve and Gaz like it? UH... YAH! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to another Trve. Crvp. Pop!, the spin off podcast where we search for the worst album ever made. This week Steve and Sam are looking at Live it Up, the third album from US folk-rock supergroup Crosby, Stills and Nash, released on the 26th of June 1990.We actually don't know much about CSN, as will become apparent throughout this podcast, but what we do know is that David Crosby was a loveable loony, and his jail time, disregard for authority, drug addiction, lack of wanting to partake in music videos and passive aggressive album titles make what would be a utterly pointless and boring mid-period album from an established band into something pretty funny.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a podcast about music. This week, in the direct aftermath of the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, Steve and Gaz look at issue 871 of Kerrang! magazine, the first issue to be released after the event, and take a look back at what the immediate reaction from the music world was. We look at the cancelled tours, the songs dropped from radio and TV, the changes artists had to make to upcoming releases, the songs that were inspired by the event and see what the long term effects it had on the world of music.It's not all heavy, we also review new music from Nation of Language, The Chemical Brothers, Olivia Rodrigo, Angel Du$t and Kvelertak and there is a live report from Trivium's final show on the In the Court of the Dragon touring cycle. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

It's another look at the world of the worst albums ever made, as we present another Trve. Crvp. Pop!, searching for the most awful moment in the history of music. This week, Steve and Sam are rating and ranking Fly on the Wall, the 10th studio album from hard rock legends Ac/DC, released on the 28th of June 1985. The 80's had been kind to AC/DC initially, their 7th album Back in Black was one of the biggest albums ever made, shifting 25 millions copies in the US alone. But as the decade wore on, so the profile of the band began to wane somewhat. 25 million sales became 4 million, which then became "only" 1 million as they continued to release album in the first half of the decade. By 1985, with glam metal on the rise, AC/DC were considered by many to have peaked, the band themselves wanted nothing to do with MTV ready pop-metal and decided to self produce their next record. The result was an album in Fly on the Wall that is usually cited as their weakest moment... but is it really that bad? Or did a link to a serial killer, the ire of the PMRC and a bunch of confusing videos starring the band, a bunch of goofy actors and a cartoon fly all combine to kill it?  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a music podcast.This week we are going slightly darker than usual, as Steve and Gaz discuss their relationship with certain problematic artists. Steve picks five songs that he no longer listens to, discusses the reasons for ditching them and how outside issues can effect your enjoyment of a song or how the behaviour of an artist can negate the power of a song that you formerly loved.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

We all know who Ian Beale is don't we! But what about the man behind the character? Well, he's likes photography, he has performed onstage at the National Theatre and he also has this random and incredibly rare record to his name. We've done some serious, and not so serious, digging for this one, the question is... is Woodyatt the new Kylie?

Well, hello there. Welcome back to another special, one off review podcast from us, the fellas at Trve. Cvlt. Pop!On this episode we are looking at the 9th studio album from recently reformed Brit-pop legends Blur, The Ballad of Darren. This is the band's first album since 2015's rather disappointing The Magic Whip album, but the members of Blur have been keeping themselves busy in a world without their main band; Damon Albarn has been doing some solo stuff and a little project called Gorillaz, both guitarist Graham Coxon and drummer Dave Rowntree have gone solo too and bassist Alex James has... made some cheese... we're not sure. So, does the world need a new Blur album? Is it a risk to come out of hiatus and give the world new material when you already have a stellar back catalogue to fall back on and millions of fans who would surely be happy to see Blur live out their days as a lovely nostalgia blanket?Well, as you'll hear, when they are able to give us such an interesting new flavour as the one we get on The Ballad of Darren, it's certainly worth the risk.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

It's time for us to dive into the FILTH of the music world once more as we search for the worst album ever made, yes, it's Trve. Crvp. Pop! time once again. Steve and Sam have got something genuinely bizarre on their hands today, as we look at the debut album from Hollywood A-lister Bruce Willis, The Return of Bruno, released on the 20th of January 1987.Willis was a star, but not a megastar, back in 1987, he was on the show Moonlighting, which had given him enough profile for him to get a $5m contract to be the face of Seagram's Golden Wine Coolers*... yeah, pretty weird that eh. Anyway, on the ads Willis danced and sang, pretty badly if we're being honest, but his performances, if legend is to be believed, were good enough for Motown Records to sign him and ask him to make an album full of soul pop and R&B numbers. The album was tied in with an HBO Special that portrayed Willis' alter-ego Bruno Radolini as a great, lost legend of the music world. It was ropey as hell, but Bruce got a number 2 hit in the UK with his cover of Under the Boardwalk. So it was looking goof for his music career. But, 18 months later a film called Die Hard came out, and... well, you know the rest. Is The Retun of Bruno any good? Dan from Skindred's mum likes it! What does it matter what we think!Trve. Crvp. Pop! is in no way associated with Seagram's Golden Wine Coolers... although we would be open to any sponsorship opportunities. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

There is also some chat about the recent rejigging of the festival market, out goes Ozzy and in come Judas Priest at Powertrip and The 1975 are back at Reading and Leeds AGAIN! Maybe most excitingly of all though, there are live reports from two massive stadiums shows; R&B pop megastar The Weeknd's stunning performance at the London Stadium and the return of Brit-pop legends Blur at Wembley... which inevitably leads to a conversation about when Oasis are coming back.

We're calling it (What's the Story)... or, if you're Sam, "WHAT WERE ALL THAT ABUT?!"... don't call it that.It's a new series where we look at some of the most shocking and infamous moments in music history and try and get our head around exactly what happened. On this first episode we are looking the events that led to and then unfolded on the 12th of February 1992, when dance music oddities The KLF invited grindcore legends Extreme Noise Terror to open that year's BRIT Awards show. The KLF were the best selling singles band of 1992, but were, as we discuss, a little unorthodox in their approach, so it makes sense... sort of... that they would decide to end their successful stint in the music industry by playing what must be comfortably the most shocking and bizarre performance the biggest night in the UK music calendar has ever witnessed... okay, maybe it actually doesn't. Things only got weirder from their, as we will discuss in the second part of this show on our patreon page; patreon.com/trvecvltpop. Hopefully see you there. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Hey everyone, welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a lovely music podcast for your lovely ears. It's a bit of a weird one this week as Steve is alone, explaining why he is alone and then talking about some new music for you to listen to as well. That new music comes from Rancid, The Dirty Nil, Bar Italia, Adult DVD, Code Orange and Sleep Token. Plus, of course, there is a big 'ol rant on that Royal Blood at Radio One's Big Weekend controversy. Listen in to find out why YOU are a big baby... baby. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Hello everyone, we're back with another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Reviews, a podcast dedicated to one upcoming album that we believe is worth spending an entire episode on.This time Sam and Steve are looking at Life is but a Dream..., the 8th studio album by Orange County metal megastars Avenged Sevenfold. The follow up to 2016's The Stage has been a long time coming, so long that many people have already made their mind up about the record before they had even heard a note. Mainly because A7X frontman M. Shadows said it was influenced by funk, soul and (gasp) Kanye West! Whilst all of that may well be true, it only tells a tiny bit of the story of the album we get here. This is a wild record, full of some of the biggest flights of fancy that any major metal band have taken in years, possibly decades. Is it any good? Well, it depends on your mindset; do you want your bands to grow, challenge you, take huge risks and show ambition, or are you just a dullard? As you'll hear, we're very pro-Life is but a Dream...  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Hey there! It's the long awaited return of Trve. Crvp. Pop!, the bonus podcast where we try and decipher what the worst album of all time is.Sorry it's been a while, we've been busy, plus, in all honesty, neither of us wanted to listen to this weeks STINKING album. In the dock this week is Simulation Theory by the modern prog-rock megastars Muse, released on the 9th of November 2018. Steve and Sam have very different relationships with Muse, one likes the early stuff and one... well, doesn't. So what is it about this particular Muse album that is considered so heinous? Well, after a string of well received records over the early part of their career, people started to question Muse in the early part of the 2010's, leading to a supposed "return to rock" comeback with the album Drones in 2015... thing is, not many people cared for Drones that much. Which meant Muse were at something of a crossroads in their career; try again to get rock fans back onside or do something totally different to shock the world. They went for the latter, ditching the ideas of both acoustic and hip-hop (thank God) centric albums to do... well, some Stranger Things, 80's synth, Sci-fi, fight the power bullshit. Is it any good?... We'll tell you here. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! you fave ever music podcast. Steve is back and, looky here, Sam is back too! This week on the show, it's a bumper massive episode. Mainly because Sam has now heard Wake Up Boo by The Boo Radleys. That alone is worth about 5 hours of chat isn't it?No. Obviously not. Actually, the main chat comes as we take a dive into the state of the UK festival market, previewing all of the big fests, and some not so big ones, that we possibly can. So you'll get our thoughts on Glastonbury, Download, Reading and Leeds, Isle Of Wight, Bestival, Slam Dunk, Creamfields, British Summer Time, All Points East, Outbreak, 2000 Trees, Arc Tan Gent, Bloodstock and, of course, Mighty Hoopla, plus many more.

Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a bloody lovely 'ol music podcast. This week on the show Steve is delighted to be reunited with an old school podcast legend in the shape of his former Metal Hammer Podcast co-host Merlin Alderslade. The pair are getting down with the sickness, having just one of those days, waking up and putting on a little make up, moving one step closer to the edge and... er... going me loco...? nah, fucked it. Basically we're counting down some of our favourite one hit wonders from the nu-metal era. Expect silly lyrics, silly facial hair, seven string guitars and some names you had long forgotten.I addition we talk about the new live EP from Denzel Curry and the latest collab album between Billy Woods and Kenny Segal. Plus there is an amazing (for Steve) revelation about how to pronounce the singer from Nickelback's name... if that won't make you tune in...! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Hello and welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, with a twist! Steve is ill as anything this week (it's serious, it's not Man flu!) and so we've decided to recycle a bit of old #Content for you guys rather than put out literally nothing. It's the 26th anniversary of Depeche mode's classic Ultra album today (the 14th of April) and so we've delved back into the archives and found the first ever Patreon podcast Steve and Sam did, and, what a lucky coincidence, it is on that particular album!

This week Sam and Steve are joined by our good friend and Hell Bent for Metal Podcast host Mr. Tom Dare, to look at new music from Fucked Up, Eyes and Sam Smith, who has inspired our entire show this week after the video for their song I'm Not Here To Make Friends boiled the piss of some reactionary fools! Is the video REALLY that controversial? Or is Sam Smith just having a lovely time in a corset? We give it some context by looking at some of the most "Shocking" and "appalling" music videos of all time from the likes of Madonna, The Prodigy, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Lil Nas X and... yuk... Cattle Decapitation. Expect blood, blasphemy, incest, violence, sexiness and Nazis... so many bloody Nazis! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

We here at Trve. Cvlt. Pop! present to you an exclusive piece of bonus content from our Trve. Clvssic. Pop! Patreon page. On this show we are looking at The Fragile, the third full length album from Trent Reznor's industrial legends Nine Inch Nails, released on the 21st of September 1999.In the first of two parts we look at Reznor's descent in dealing with the aftermath of the success of 1994's The Downward Spiral album. Starting with the debauched and gruelling Self-Destruct tour, his collaboration with David Bowie on his Outside Tour, the stress of producing Marilyn Manson's Antichrist Superstar album, the loss of his Grandmother Clara and how all of these events coalesced into giving Reznor serious writers block and nearly leading him to quitting music altogether. We then look at how he rebuilt his confidence and came up with the concept for The Fragile, before going track by track through the first disc of the album.The second part is available when you sign up for the £5 a month Trve.

Hello and welcome to the first Trve. Cvlt. Pop! of 2023. Steve and Sam have had a lovely rest, thanks for asking, although Steve did lose his voice. As you'll hear from the croaky tones he's giving out. Still, no time to be ill though! We've got a load of stuff to talk about! There's a review of the latest album from Iggy Pop, we reflect on the sad passing of Faithless' Maxi Jazz and look back at some of the albums that we missed in 2022. It's a right mixed bunch, from Sugababes, Brutus, Big Thief, Neneh Cherry, Leftfield, Scene Queen, Colour TV, Vince Staples, Kai Whiston and Rosalia. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Hello, welcome and merry Christmas. This is our lovely Christmas gift to you from us here at Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, it's the first episode of our new spinoff podcast. It's called Trve. Crvp. Pop! and it is where Steve and Sam dig around the very dregs of the musical landscape and see if we really can name the worst album ever made. It's pretty harsh that we're choosing an album that hasn't even been available to listen to for a month yet as our first pick, but, hey, it's Christmas, and we're going to go in fairly hard on the UK's lord of festive fun; Cliff Richard. Cliff at Christmas is the tennis ruining, granny favourite's 46th studio album, and, as you can guess from the title, is a Christmas album, which is not the worst idea, as Cliff has a long history of making top class crimbo bangers like Mistletoe and Wine and Saviours Day. But that was over 30 years ago, and, if the video that he released to beg his fans to buy this album is anything to go by, Cliff is in desperate need of a hit album. Will he get it? Well, Stormzy saw to it that he never got the coveted number one spot, but will Steve and Sam hamme the final nail in to Cliff's coffin?  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Steve and Sam were rocked, excited and delighted when one of the finest voices in UK hip-hop, Little Simz, announced that she was releasing her 5th album, and the follow up to last years spectacular, award winning Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, NO THANK YOU with pretty much no fanfare at all.It may have fucked up our album of the year lists, but we wanted to give you our thoughts on a record that marks the third collaboration with producer Inflo, and lyrically looks at the stresses and trials of her recent success and how the music industry isn't built for keeping keeping your mental health in a positive place.

Plus we review the big new metal album of the week courtesy of Slipknot's The End, So Far.There's also chat about Mel C refuting 25 year old claims of Maggie Thatcher being the original Spice Girl, the fury of Ian Brown fans, who have had to bare witness to something truly horrifying... namely, seeing Ian Brown live. And we discuss the songs that have been stuck in our head this week, one from 70's "Queen of disco" Sylvester and another from Kevin Martin's dub heavy The Bug project.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a brand new podcast about music from the mind of Stephen Hill and Sam Sleight. It's about all and any music, and that's reflected pretty well in our first episode where we look at the best in recent pop music by discussing new albums from Rina Sawayama, No Devotion, Lizzo, Blackpink, Demi Lovato and Noah Cyrus. Plus we discuss Ozzy Osbourne's first ever US Billboard number one album, tell you what songs have been stuck in our heads this week, with Sam obsessing over Italian progressive math metal weirdos Destrage and Steve unable to shake an underrated Nine Inch Nails banger from his mind, and end of a pretty gross chat about one of us happy and willing to suck the Norovirus from a member of Godflesh.
