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.

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.

In this folking folly, our heroes continue their year of new discoveries. Stefan became aware of Phoebe Bridgers after the release of Punisher, and similar to his St. Vincent stories, he had a different preconceived notion of how the music was going to sound. Jake knew exactly how the music was going to sound as his wife is already a fan of Bridgers. The guys couldn't agree though on why Bridgers wears the skeleton pjs, Jake offering the most commonly accepted reason, however Stefan had a different take…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.

In this dystopian doomsday diatribe, our heroes ingest all of the gloom so that you simply don't have to. They are talking about Killing Joke's second eponymous record; that's right, the Dave Grohl one. They verge off onto the post Killing Joke career paths, as well as the members' many links to Aotearoa.A quick heads up, this was recorded directly after the David Rhodes interview and the guys were shaking with adrenaline. Wrongly or rightly, this was also recorded with the guys in the same room rather than virtually, so the energy is probably on a whole other level. 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.

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.

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.

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.

In this fusional folly our heroes dive into the world of “white reggae” in the Police's ‘Regatta de Blanc'. A holy trinity consisting of a Bass playing Geordie, a jazzy Bournemouthian, and a man of the world drummer set the music industry alight with their unique fury and groove. In this, their second record, the ferocious punk settled to a simmer and the reggae had its day in the sun. The question remains, will this record become a bonafide Sound Purchase.

In this ethical adventure, our hardcore heroes traverse the justifiably angry world of Fugazi. A post-hardcore band from Washington DC, and somewhat of a punk supergroup, Fugazi are legendary for putting their fans first by famously ensuring that ticket prices were, music was plentiful, and live shows were unforgettable.

In this frightful folly, our heroes discuss 1992's ‘Generation Terrorists' by Manic Street Preachers. They try, but fail, to not compare this record with fellow Welsh rockers Stereophonics - episode 59. They even make an alternate track listing to shorten the record to all of the bangers (unconsciously turning this record into an all time classic).Of course along the way the guys throw in their trademark, off the wall and “esoteric” humour and head off on wild tangents.

In this classic caper our heroes dive into the unknown and explore the immense world of Cardiacs. Neither of us had any experience with the band, and upon first judgement we were unsure of the punishment we had put ourselves in for.

In this special soiree our heroes find themselves at either end of an argument as they can't agree on who the Travelling Wilburys actually are (no bits!). Hailed as an early supergroup, the Travelling Wilburys managed to put out just one record in 1988, before the death of Leftie. That didn't stop them from creating one of the most near perfect albums in existence though.

In this tantalising entanglement, our heroes dive deep into the trippy and less hoppy world of Portishead with their wonderfully imaginatively titled third release, ‘third'. In an attempt to shake off any prior notions of Triphop, the genre the band were instrumental in forming; the group went off in another direction, pulling influences from: Krautrock, Altrock and even Steve Martin's film ‘the Jerk'. ‘Third' is an album that takes commitment, yet it rewards with each listen.

In this new adventure, our heroes dive deep into one of the best selling records in history. We look into the 90s alt-rockers Hootie and the Blowfish and their record breaking debut ‘Cracked Rear View'. Despite there being no member of the band called “Hootie”, the band soldiered on and earned themselves an enormous fan base, before unleashing their intensely personal debut record. The album centres around themes of: racism, bereavement, and relationships. The songs are incredibly touching and heartfelt, which resonated deeply with millions of listeners worldwide.Of course along the way the guys throw in their trademark, off the wall and “esoteric” humour and head off on wild tangents.

In this electric escapade our heroes navigate the gloriously postmodern ‘Kid A' by Radiohead. Radiohead were on top of the world around the release of the record and they threw out a complete left turn, leaving critics and fans divided.

In this virtual venture our heroes explore the simulated world of Gorillaz' ‘Plastic Beach'. The guys sail their way through the extensive featuring artists ranging from Snoop Dogg to Lou Reed. Gorillaz burst onto the scene with ‘Clint Eastwood' in 2001 and a young Stefan was totally fascinated with the animated band. They morphed as the years have gone on, with members coming, going, and returning; seriously though, you should have a look at their wikipedia biography, it runs deep!

In this adventure our heroes traverse the all too familiar territory of Seattle in the early 90s. We navigate through valleys of bassitar and quarries of guitbass to find the forest of ‘funge' the cheerier alternate to Grunge.The Presidents of the United States of America are a force of a live band and they managed to capture the raw energy of their live performances on their debut record. We were really fortunate to speak with singer/bassitarist Chris Ballew in the leadup to this episode. He was such a cool dude, giving us arguably the most detailed answer to his musical origin story, but also giving us a short concert on the fabled bassitar.

In this episode our heroes go back to 1986 to look at an album by a band that became the sound of 80s rock n roll, Fore! by Huey Lewis and the News.Reduced by many to being centred around one certain movie hit song, Fore! has so much more to offer it's listeners. As is the case with all classic records, the band show off their current skills and songwriting prowess, whilst simultaneously giving listeners a look back to their influences.Fore! contained 5 hit singles and could be more legendary than we remember.Of course along the way the guys throw in their trademark, off the wall and “esoteric” humour and head off on wild tangents.Head over to www.asoundpurchase.com/shop to see our range of merchandise, we want to keep both the regular pod and bonus pods free of cost, and you can help that to continue by purchasing some of the mugs, stickers, hats or shirts we have on offer.Your support of this podcast is hugely appreciated, you have been vital to the sanity of our heroic podcast hosts.

In this return form, our heroes are back and ready to serve up a bowlful of parody as they look at “Weird” Al Yankovic's 2014 release `Mandatory Fun'.Most may reduce the parody maestro to cheap tricks and thrills, but not our boys. They search deeper to find the musicality within. This record was Al's first chart topper and had a mixture of original (style parody) and regular parody tunes. As Kurt Cobain allegedly once said, “you haven't made it until Weird Al does a parody”.Of course along the way the guys throw in their trademark off the wall and “esoteric” humour.
