Buffalo - Volcanic Rock | 70s Rock Revisited

In this special crossover episode, we're spotlighting Buffalo's 1973 Volcanic Rock—a raw, proto-metal gem that helped shape the sound of 80s Metal and 90s Rock. With primal riffs and fearless energy, Buffalo laid the groundwork for the heaviness embraced by bands like Metallica and Soundgarden. Picture it: the airwaves dominated by Dark Side of the Moon, Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy, and Sabbath's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Rock was entering its teenage years, shedding its innocence for something darker, more primal. Halfway around the world, Australia was a raw, untamed frontier where danger lurked in every shadow. Venomous creatures, desolate outback stretches, and a wild, unrelenting spirit shaped the people and their art. It was here, in this harsh and unpredictable landscape, that Buffalo unleashed their sophomore album, Volcanic Rock, on Vertigo Records. Like the searing sun, it scorched a path for heavy music, standing defiantly alongside its better-known contemporaries.Buffalo was no Zeppelin or Sabbath knockoff. This Brisbane-to-Sydney transplant created their own blend of bluesy grit and proto-metal menace. Formed initially as “Head,” their pivot to Buffalo was guided by a manager who believed that bands starting with “B” (Beatles, Beach Boys) were bound for success. A dart on a map landed on Buffalo, and thus began a name and sound etched in volcanic fury.Heavy as Hell, Raw as the OutbackVolcanic Rock lived up to its name—primitive, thunderous, and unpredictable. With Dave Tice's raw vocal delivery leading the charge, and guitarist John Baxter's primal riffage painting sonic landscapes, the album combined blues-rock roots with a proto-doom intensity that felt otherworldly. Songs like “Freedom” deliver nine-minute odysseys, meandering through psychedelic jam territory before crashing back into riff-laden crescendos.Yet, the record wasn't just music—it was spectacle. Its controversial cover art—a volcano shaped like a female torso spewing lava—reflected the wild creativity and raw edge of the band's ethos. It was shocking then and remains iconic now, an image as bold as the sound within.Misfits in a Golden AgeDespite their innovative sound, Buffalo never quite broke through. Opening for heavyweights like Black Sabbath and Rainbow, they faced the mischief of tour mates like Ritchie Blackmore, who infamously sabotaged their set. Still, they soldiered on, creating an album that influenced generations of grunge, stoner rock, and doom metal—long before the labels existed.But Buffalo's story is also one of commercial failure and creative frustration. Pushed by their label to pivot toward radio-friendly fare, they resisted, choosing instead to blaze their own trail. By the time their final album, Average Rock 'n' Roller, hit shelves in 1977, the band was running on fumes. Yet, Volcanic Rock remains their defining statement, a timeless blueprint for heavy rock adventurers.The Legacy: Why Volcanic Rock Still MattersSo why revisit Volcanic Rock in 2025? Because it's an artifact of pure, unadulterated rock energy—a raw, imperfect gem that prefigures everything from Kyuss to Queens of the Stone Age. Its primal simplicity, coupled with its audacious ambition, captures the essence of a time when rock was still dangerous.Want to know more?

Here at Dig Me Out we spent the last ten years starting each new season by looking back at the albums from each year that stood the test of time, disappeared without a trace, and everything in between. We kicked off with a roundtable in 2015 and revisited the albums of 1995, so it made sense to start a new series of roundtables in 1995 as well. This time we're checking out the singles of each year, looking at the year-end Modern Rock/Alternative and Hot 100 charts in the US, as well as charts from Canada, the UK and Australia for comparison. Like with all roundtables, we enlisted the help of some special guests to revisit this interesting transitional year that saw the rise of the second generation of grunge bands like Bush and Silverchair, the continued success of 1994's pop-punk breakthroughs by Green Day and The Offspring, and the juggernaut that was Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette. But that doesn't tell the entire tale, so former A&R executive and audio tech writer James Barber and music writer Kevin Alexander join us to talk about all the hits, the near misses, and the weirdness that was 1995. Lastly, our third guest, S.W. Lauden aka Steve Coulter was unable to attend due to the tragic loss of his and his family's home in the Eaton, CA. fires. If you are able, please consider donating to the Go Fund Me set-up by Steve's friends.   Songs In This Episode Intro - You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette (Jagged Little Pill) 12:15 - Possum Kingdom by Toadies (Marvel's Thunderbolts 2025 trailer) 24:48 - A Girl Like You by Edwyn Collins (Empire Records soundtrack) 33:18 - Bright Yellow Gun by Throwing Muses (University) 53:24 - No More I Love You's by Annie Lennox (Medusa) 1:00:23 - Common People by Pulp  (Different Class) Outro - Alright by Supergrass (I Should Coco)   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Picture this: It's a crisp January morning in 1980. The new decade is fresh, brimming with possibility, and you're flipping through the racks at your favorite record store. Disco is slipping out of fashion, punk's rebellious roar still echoes, and the New Wave is gathering momentum. Amidst all this change, Rush—a band known for their sprawling progressive rock epics—is about to redefine themselves.The moment you unwrap Permanent Waves and place the needle down, something shifts. The opening notes of “The Spirit of Radio”cut through the speakers like a beacon for the new era. You're swept into a world where Rush balances complexity with accessibility, progressive rock with mainstream ambition. The album was a turning point for a band about to define their legacy.A Balancing Act Between Complexity and AccessibilityPermanent Waves, recorded at the now-legendary Le Studio in Morin Heights, Quebec, marked the beginning of Rush's iconic 80s run. With Terry Brown returning as producer, the album showcased a deliberate pivot. Gone were the sprawling epics of Hemispheres (1978). In their place were tightly constructed, thematically sharp tracks that leaned into shorter runtimes while still showcasing the band's virtuosity .This album reached number four on the U.S. Billboard 200 and number three in Canada, earning gold and platinum certifications. Not only was it a commercial success, but it also marked the first time the band broke even on a tour, thanks to nine months on the road supporting the record .A Showcase of Rush's EvolutionThe album opens with “The Spirit of Radio”, an anthem to music's transformative power. Lifeson's shimmering guitar riff, Peart's intricate drumming, and Lee's powerful vocals meld into a track that bridges progressive rock and radio-friendly melodies. Its unexpected reggae breakdown was a bold experiment, cementing the song's status as a classic.“Free Will”, the second single, explores existentialism with blistering technical interplay between guitar and bass. Meanwhile, deeper cuts like “Jacob's Ladder” unfold like a storm—a dark, atmospheric journey that builds into an otherworldly crescendo.A surprising inclusion as a single was “Entre Nous”, released in April 1980. Despite its relatively low profile in Rush's live sets, it encapsulates the album's lyrical intimacy, proving that even Rush's quieter moments pack a punch .Is Rush Metal?The Permanent Waves episode of Dig Me Out reignited the perennial debate: Is Rush a metal band? While their technical prowess and influence on the genre are undisputed, Rush has always been more at home in progressive rock. However, their heavier tracks, like those from 2112 and even moments on Permanent Waves, ensured they earned respect among metal fans and artists alike .Why Permanent Waves Still ResonatesWith its release, Permanent Waves wasn't just another Rush album; it was a declaration of intent. The band embraced the future while honoring their past, delivering an album that remains a cornerstone of progressive rock. Decades later, it's still finding new fans and delighting old ones. As a Dig Me Out listener said: “This album has grown with me. I've owned it on every format, and it never gets old” .Dust off your vinyl or pull it up on your favorite streaming platform—Rush's Permanent Waves deserves a fresh listen.

March 1984. Prince, Kenny Loggins, and Bruce Springsteen dominated the pop charts, but something heavier was brewing. Hard rock and metal were clawing their way into the spotlight, and MTV was playing a pivotal role in this revolution. Enter Ratt, with their major-label debut, Out of the Cellar. In a year defined by arena-ready riffs and eye-catching videos, Ratt burst onto the scene with an album that captured the spirit of the times and proved that metal could be more than just a passing trend.Ratt's Out of the Cellar is a quintessential snapshot of a band balancing grit and glam at the height of their powers. Released in March 1984, the album combines raw energy with slick production, delivering a sound that's equal parts rebellious and radio-ready. With tracks like “Round and Round” and “Wanted Man,” Ratt crafted an album that helped define the MTV era of glam metal while staying grounded in the Sunset Strip's hard rock roots.A Band Ready for the Big StageBy the time Out of the Cellar dropped, Ratt was no overnight success. Years of grinding it out in the Los Angeles club scene had sharpened their skills, and their 1983 self-titled EP had already sold an impressive 100,000 copies independently—a testament to their undeniable appeal. The band's lineup had solidified around frontman Stephen Pearcy, guitarists Warren DeMartini and Robin Crosby, bassist Juan Croucier, and drummer Bobby Blotzer, creating a dynamic chemistry that carried them to the top of the hard rock heap.Ratt's dual-guitar approach set them apart, with DeMartini's sharp, groove-heavy riffs balancing Crosby's bold, melodic solos. Pearcy's distinctive snarl gave the band a rougher edge compared to many of their contemporaries, adding a layer of grit to their glam. Their sound wasn't just catchy—it had character.The Tracks That Made Out of the Cellar Legendary“Round and Round” remains the standout hit, with its infectious hooks and soaring dual-guitar solo. The track epitomizes Ratt's ability to create music that's equal parts heavy and accessible. Then there's “Wanted Man,” a cinematic opener that channels old-school Western vibes, and “Back for More,” a slow-burning anthem that builds from acoustic introspection to full-on rock power.Ratt's rhythm section deserves its own spotlight. Blotzer's drumming, especially on tracks like “Lack of Communication,” is far more dynamic than your average 80s metal backbeat. His clever use of cymbal accents and syncopated rhythms brings depth to the album, making it as danceable as it is headbang-worthy.A Sound That Defined Its EraRatt hit their stride at the perfect moment, just as glam metal was breaking into the mainstream. Out of the Cellar is a product of its time, but its rawness and unique qualities keep it relevant. While the production leans a little thin by modern standards, it complements the band's high-energy style, letting their dual guitars and blistering solos shine.Thematically, the album balances tales of outlaws (“Wanted Man”) with relationship struggles and party anthems. It's a snapshot of a time when rock bands weren't afraid to have fun, but Ratt did it with a touch more grit and attitude than their more polished peers.The Legacy of Out of the CellarRatt wasn't just another glam band—they were trailblazers for the MTV generation of hard rock. Out of the Cellar went on to sell over 3 million copies in the U.S., cementing the band's place in 80s rock history. Its success wasn't just about “Round and Round” dominating MTV; it was about Ratt's ability to craft songs that could move between stadiums and smoky clubs with equal swagger.This album helped set the stage for the glam metal explosion that defined the mid-to-late 1980s. Its raw edges, blazing guitars, and distinct personality made it stand out in a crowded field, giving Ratt a voice that's still celebrated today.Why Out of the Cellar Still RocksListening to Out of the Cellar today, it's clear why this album endures. Its energy, musicianship, and unapologetic attitude make it more than a nostalgia trip. It's a cornerstone of 80s rock that still feels fresh and fun, especially when tracks like “Back for More” or “Lack of Communication” hit your speakers.Ratt didn't just release an album—they created a moment in time. Out of the Cellar captures the raw ambition of a band poised to take over the world, and for a while, they did.Songs in this EpisodeIntro - Round and Round 30:16 - In Your Direction 35:17 - Lack of Communication 36:08 - Back for More 39:06 - Lack of Communication 44:10 - Wanted Man 1:09:09 - One Like a Son (Vertex) Outro - Round and RoundMake Your Metal Voice Heard!We're on a mission to dig deep into the heart of 80s metal, and we can't do it without you.

Ace Frehley - Frehley's Comet | 80s Metal Revisited

In the summer of 1987, the music scene was shifting: the larger-than-life sounds of glam rock and heavy metal were at their peak, and the neon-drenched days of the MTV era were in full swing. Hair metal dominated, with bands like Def Leppard, Whitesnake, and Bon Jovi ruling the charts and radio. Rock fans were riding high on guitar solos, power ballads, and the theatrical spectacle of live shows. Amidst this, a familiar name from a different era, Ace Frehley, the original “Spaceman” of Kiss, reemerged with Frehley's Comet—a solo album that would go on to become a cult favorite, bridging his past as a member of Kiss with his fresh start as a solo artist.The Road to Frehley's CometFrehley's Comet, released in April 1987, was Ace's first attempt to break out independently since his 1978 solo album with Kiss. This time, however, it wasn't just a side project—it was an opportunity for Ace to stand alone. After a rocky exit from Kiss, characterized by struggles with addiction and brushes with death (including a notorious car accident in his DeLorean that he references in the track “Rock Soldiers”), Ace had a point to prove. With support from Eddie Trunk, who helped secure him a spot on the Megaforce label, Ace was back in the game, determined to reclaim his legacy in rock.A Blend of Grit and MelodyAs the Dig Me Out hosts delved into Frehley's Comet, they highlighted its unique blend of Ace's signature gritty style mixed with melodic, almost pop-rock elements that made it different from a typical heavy metal album. Tracks like “Rock Soldiers” served as a rallying cry, a self-reflective anthem about overcoming personal demons, while “Into the Night,” a mid-tempo stomp, showcased Ace's ability to craft a compelling hook that stuck with listeners long after the song ended. The hosts also noted how “Stranger in a Strange Land” exemplified Ace's unmistakable style: raw yet melodic guitar riffs combined with a vocal delivery that was uniquely his own, both rough and endearing.The Todd Howarth FactorWhat made Frehley's Comet stand out wasn't just Ace's return. The album also benefited from the contributions of Todd Howarth, whose more polished, AOR-style vocals and songwriting contrasted with Ace's grittier approach. Tracks like “Calling to You” and “Something Moved” reflected this dynamic, adding a surprising level of variety to the album. This blending of styles made Frehley's Comet feel like more than just a solo project—it felt like a band effort, and the result was a sound that was both nostalgic and refreshingly modern for its time.Embracing the Strange and the NostalgicDespite its strengths, Frehley's Comet isn't without its quirks. Some tracks, like “Dolls,” with its odd, almost creepy lyrics about mannequins or inanimate “dolls,” veered into strange territory. And while songs like “We Got Your Rock” aimed to pump up the listener, the lyrics felt somewhat clichéd even for the '80s, as the hosts pointed out with humor. Yet, these moments only added to the album's charm, capturing a time when rock didn't take itself too seriously, embracing both the raw and the ridiculous in equal measure.Legacy of a Comeback AlbumLooking back, Frehley's Comet isn't just a product of its era but a testament to Ace Frehley's resilience and talent. The album succeeded in reminding fans why they fell in love with the “Spaceman” in the first place while introducing him to a new generation eager for guitar heroes. While Ace may have never reached the commercial heights of Kiss in his solo career, Frehley's Comet endures as a cult classic, cherished by fans who appreciate its rough edges, varied styles, and unapologetic rock ethos. For Ace, it was more than just an album—it was a comeback, a declaration that, indeed, the Ace was back.Songs in this Episode* Intro - We Got Your Rock * 21:55 - Stranger in a Strange Land * 25:14 - Breakout * 32:17 - Rock Soliders * 37:28 - Into the Night * 42:05 - Dolls * Outro - Calling to YouMake Your Metal Voice Heard!In our quest to explore the depths of 80s metal, we rely on you, our listeners.

In 1982, the metal scene was rapidly evolving, marked by the raw energy of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) and the nascent thrash movement that would soon explode onto the scene. Within this context, the band Accept from Solingen, West Germany, released their groundbreaking fourth studio album, “Restless and Wild.” This album solidified their place in metal history and bridged the gap between traditional heavy metal and the faster, more aggressive sounds that would come to define the genre in the years to come.Thank you for reading Dig Me Out. This post is public so feel free to share it.At this point, Accept was no newcomer. Formed in the late 1960s as Band X and later renamed after Chicken Shack's album “Accept,” the band had undergone numerous lineup changes. By the time of “Restless and Wild,” the lineup featured Udo Dirkschneider on vocals, Wolf Hoffmann on guitar, Peter Baltes on bass, and Stefan Kaufmann on drums. This band had been refining its sound, and “Restless and Wild” represented a pivotal moment in their career.The early 80s were a fertile time for heavy metal, with bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest defining the genre's sound and image. Accept, however, brought something uniquely German to the table, blending the melodic sensibilities of NWOBHM with a harder, faster edge that foreshadowed the coming thrash metal wave.“Restless and Wild” opens with “Fast as a Shark”, a track that kicks off with an unexpected twist—a snippet of the traditional German folk song “Ein Heller und ein Batzen”. This playful intro is quickly obliterated by one of the earliest examples of speed metal, a genre-defining moment that influenced countless bands. With its relentless double-kick drumming and rapid-fire riffing, “Fast as a Shark” is often cited as a precursor to thrash metal, pre-dating Metallica's “Kill 'Em All” by several months.The title track, “Restless and Wild,” follows suit with its high-energy delivery and Hoffmann's searing guitar work, a highlight throughout the album. His solos are a masterclass in early 80s metal guitar, blending technical prowess with a keen sense of melody. Tracks like “Neon Nights” and “Princess of the Dawn” showcase the band's versatility, with “Neon Nights” weaving between acoustic passages and heavy riffs, and “Princess of the Dawn” featuring a haunting, epic structure that closes the album on a high note.“Restless and Wild” didn't just solidify Accept's place in the metal pantheon; it also played a crucial role in the genre's development. The album's influence can be heard in the speed and thrash metal movements that followed. Bands like Metallica and Slayer, who released their debuts in 1983, were undoubtedly impacted by Accept's fusion of speed and melody.While “Balls to the Wall” would become their most commercially successful album, “Restless and Wild” remains a favorite among metal purists for its raw energy and pioneering spirit. It's an album that captures a band on the brink of stardom, experimenting with their sound and pushing the boundaries of what metal could be.Songs in this Episode* Intro - Demon's Night * 7:53 - Fast as a Shark * 14:51 - Fast as a Shark * 16:19 - Neon Nights * 17:29 - Don't Go Stealing My Soul Away * 20:48 - Restless and Wild * 25:27 - Shake Your Heads * 28:42 - Get Ready * 31:44 - Princess of the Dawn Outro - Flash Rockin' ManMake Your Metal Voice Heard!In our quest to explore the depths of 80s metal, we rely on you, our listeners.

In the late 1980s, when hair metal was all the rage and grunge was just a whisper, King's X dropped "Gretchen Goes to Nebraska." Despite not hitting the mainstream heights of some of their peers, they seriously shook up our latest listener poll with this album. Today's episode of Dig Me Out dives into King's X's unique groove, which carved out a niche that straddled the worlds of their metal and alternative contemporaries.Dig Me Out is listener-powered. Suggest an album →We explore how King's X meshed with—and stood out from—the bands they toured with. Imagine sharing the stage with the heavy hitters like Anthrax, AC/DC, and even alt-rockers like Living Colour. King's X managed to hold their own with a sound that mixed deep, soulful harmonies and heavy, intricate riffs. This made them a band that other musicians admired, even if they flew under the radar for the larger public.“Gretchen Goes to Nebraska," showcased King's X's knack for blending Rush-like complexity with the emotional rawness that would soon define grunge. Bands like Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains owe a bit of their sound to the trails blazed by King's X, and we're here to tell you exactly how and why.Recorded with producer Sam Taylor in Houston and released on Megaforce Records, this album is a testament to King's X's technical chops and thoughtful lyrics. We'll break down tracks like "Over My Head" and "Summerland," discussing how they mix thoughtful musings with rock-solid beats, setting King's X apart from both the glam scene and the emerging grunge movement.We'll also ponder why King's X, despite their massive influence and critical nods, never quite became household names. Touring with an eclectic mix, from the theatrical Blue Öyster Cult to metal gods Iron Maiden, showed their range but perhaps left fans puzzled about where exactly to place them in the rock spectrum.So crank it up and join us on "Dig Me Out 80s Metal" as we dive into the fascinating world of King's X, exploring how they've left an indelible mark on the music scene, beloved by those in the know and just waiting to be rediscovered by new ears.Songs in this Episode* Intro - Out of the Silent Planet* 14:01 - We Were Born to Be Loved - CBS Orchestra* 28:47 - Over My Head* 32:36 - You're The Only One - Sneak Preview* 35:14 - Summerland* 37:13 - The Difference (In the Garden of St. Anne's On-the-Hill)* 38:23 - I'll Never Be The Same* 40:00 - Send a Message* 40:17 - Black Flag from King's X (1992)* 43:42 - Out of the Silent Planet* 48:30 - Over My Head* 52:26 - I'll Never Be the Same* 58:06 - This Picture - Jerry Gaskill* 1:02:00 - Take Me Away - Supershine* Outro - PleiadesYour Metal PicksAs we jam through the vast world of 80s metal, it's your insights and picks that fuel our episodes.

Faster Pussycat emerged from the wild Sunset Strip scene of the 80s, which gave birth to legendary bands such as Quiet Riot, Van Halen, and Ratt. The band introduced a more intense dose of glam and sleaze, which helped them secure a major label deal alongside their peers Guns N' Roses and L.A. Guns. Taime Downe, a Seattle native, fronted the band, and their debut album showcased a bluesy, pop-glam sound similar to The Rolling Stones and Hanoi Rocks. This post is public so feel free to share it.Downe teamed up with Brent Muscat (guitar), Greg Steele (guitar), Eric Stacy (bass), and Mark Michals (drums) to work with producer Ric Browde and craft a classic album that became a staple of the era. The album, released on Elektra Records, includes MTV favorites like “Bathroom Wall” and “Don't Change That Song,”. As Faster Pussycat embarked on the first tour, they supported a diverse range of artists, from Alice Cooper to David Lee Roth to Motorhead, honing their versatility and undeniable stage presence.Our deep dive into Faster Pussycat's self-titled debut on Dig Me Out reveals the highs and lows of an album that's as synonymous with the Sunset Strip's glam metal scene as teased hair and leather pants. We explore the tracks that define, delight, and sometimes divide, offering listeners a comprehensive look at an album that continues to resonate.In our exploration, we highlight the album's key tracks, noting "Bathroom Wall" and "Don't Change That Song" for their enduring appeal and MTV staple status, while "Babylon" stands out as an innovative yet ambivalent rap-rock hybrid.

In our latest foray into the electrified terrain of 80s metal, "Dig Me Out" turns the spotlight on an album that encapsulates the era's tumultuous shift from the glitzy heights of hair metal to the gritty dawn of grunge: Bang Tango's "Psycho Cafe." This episode isn't just a deep dive; it's a time machine back to an age where rock music teetered on the edge of a revolution, and Bang Tango danced along that razor's edge with a blend of hard rock, funk, and a hint of goth."Psycho Cafe" stands out not just for its musicality but for embodying the late 80s' clash of genres. With tracks like "Someone Like You" and "Attack of Life," we explore how Bang Tango's debut album defied easy categorization, weaving together a sound that was as unique as it was indicative of the era's broader trends. But was this fusion of styles a stroke of genius or a band ahead of its time? We dissect the innovative use of funky rhythms by bassist Kyle Kyle, a move that set them apart but also posed challenges in a landscape dominated by the hair metal aesthetic.Beyond the music, "Psycho Cafe" is a lens through which we examine the band's rollercoaster history. From the charismatic frontman Joe LeSte to the ever-evolving lineup, Bang Tango's story is as compelling as their music. Yet, their visual and stylistic choices perhaps most vividly capture the late 80s scene, blending rock's raw energy with a touch of glam. But did this aesthetic help or hinder their legacy in an era defined by its visuals as much as its soundtracks?In sharing our connections to the album, we aim not just to analyze but to connect, bridging the gap between historical context and personal resonance. "Psycho Cafe" isn't just a collection of tracks; for many, it's a soundtrack to memories, a piece of youth locked in the grooves of a vinyl or the magnetic tape of a cassette.As we wrap up our exploration of "Psycho Cafe," we're left pondering the what-ifs. What if Bang Tango had hit the scene earlier or rode the wave into the alternative-dominated 90s? Would they have found a more receptive audience, or was their unique blend of genres always destined to stand out?Join us in this episode as we tackle these questions and more, offering our main takes on an album that dared to be different. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the band, we invite you to dive into the discussion. Did Bang Tango capture the spirit of the late 80s, or were they a band out of time? Please share your thoughts and join the conversation as we revisit an era where rock was about breaking the mold and turning up the volume.Songs In This EpisodeIntro - Someone Like You23:58 - Someone Like You24:25 - Someone Like You25:07 - Attack of Life27:24 - Don't Stop Now28:13 - Wrap My Wings29:29 - Do What You're Told31:03 - Love Injection36:46 - Shotgun Man38:21 - Sweet Little Razor41:18 - Just For You1:00:56 - Breaking Up a Heart of StoneMake Your Metal Voice Heard!In our quest to explore the depths of 80s metal, we rely on you, our listeners.

As is the theme for this year, we're back to celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Riot Act tour for the next few weeks looking into some of Pearl Jam's most notable shows from April of 2003. We're talking about a show from West Palm Beach in this episode, which may not stand out to you on paper, but it features significant moments that define some of the themes for this entire tour year. Three themes are prominent from this era - 1) is of course the political aspect as the country had just gone to war with Iraq and Ed had put President Bush under scrutiny every night. 2) is the aftermath of Roskilde still in ways effecting this band three years later. And 3) is the return of old songs into the setlist that had been missing since the mid-90s. Thanks to our Patron Jared Schaffer for requesting this under the radar show. To hit all three of these topics specifically, one thing we'll discuss is a version of I Am A Patriot that was re-constructed strictly for this era and talk about the political nature involved, as well as Ed's invigorated speech that followed. We'll get deep into the topic of Love Boat Captain, which is featured as our brand new Evolution Series episode that will be out to Patreon very soon, to talk about how the incident at Roskilde helped them create music through the process of grieving. And on the subject of returning songs, this show's Glorified G performance was the first in 188 shows since November of 1996. We know that Ed sang a glorified version of I hate this song, but what band member here didn't seem to take it as seriously as the others on it's return? Other big highlights we'll discuss are Ed singing into a fan's cellphone during State Of Love And Trust, and an excellent call and response section of Daughter that led to a rare tag of Sleater-Kinney's Dig Me Out. We'll also answer this episode's question of the week which asked you all on social media what your favorite moments from the 2003 tour were, and our Gear Guru segments will discuss Stone's gear during this tour year and some of the effects that came from his guitar and Ed's vocals on Daughter.

A perfect pick for a Dig Me Out episode, Fretblanket never seemed to get the mainstream attention the way their peers did. Formed in Stourbridge, England when the members were still in high school, the band caught the attention of Polygram Records in ‘93 and signed a deal before singer/guitarist Will Copley had graduated. A year later, Junkfuel was released with the single “Twisted” gaining a modest amount of airplay on U.S. alternative and college rock stations. Guitarist Clive Powell wrote most of the guitar-rich songs which fit in alongside artists like Sugar, The Doughboys, The Wedding Present and Ride while Copley's grungy vocals earned comparisons to Kurt Cobain. Though they were very much of the time, the biggest touring exposure they had was opening for Oingo Boingo, a sad mismatch that likely didn't earn the band any new fans. In 1997, they released Home Truths From Abroad which leaned more into the Brit rock side of things than the grungier side and caused a minor MTV buzz with their video for “Into the Ocean.” Songs for a third album were recorded in Michigan with Tim Patalan (Sponge, Watershed) but shelved after it was apparent there was no longer label interest and the members went their separate ways. On March 30, 2023, that long lost album, The Distance In Between, was released as a way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Fretblanket signing a record deal.   Songs in this Episode: Intro - Twisted from Junkfuel 13:06 - Digging Your Scene from The Distance In Between Outro - Into The Ocean from Home Truths From Abroad   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Dig Me Out listeners know Jeremy Toback from his time playing bass in Brad with Shawn Smith (vocals), Stone Gossard (guitars) and Regan Hagar and his appearance on that band's first three albums: Shame (1993), Interiors (1997) and Welcome to Discovery Park (2002). During the ‘90s, he also released 2 full-lengths, Perfect Flux Thing (1997) and Another True Fiction (1999), as well as a self-titled EP (1996). After being burned out by the music industry and the major label experience, Jeremy took some time off before discovering a new outlet for his songwriting. With the help of a long-time friend, Renee Stahl, Jeremy began recording softer lullabies for young children which eventually led to peaceful reinterpretations of popular rock songs by artists ranging from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Led Zeppelin to INXS. Renee and Jeremy's latest single is a cover of Harry Styles' “As It Was.” In November, Jeremy released his first new solo song in two decades, the beautifully minimalistic “Conjuring,” with an equally enthralling video.   Songs In This Episode: Intro - Unbecome (from Perfect Flux Thing) 4:24 - Circle & Line (from Interiors by Brad) 34:26 - 20th Century (from Shame by Brad) 1:08:36 - Buttercup (from Shame by Brad) Outro - Butterfly Elephant (from Perfect Flux Thing)   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

There isn't a Dig Me Out listener who isn't familiar with Everclear, a staple of ‘90s alternative rock radio and MTV. With a string of hits like “Santa Monica,” “I Will Buy You a New Life,” and “Father of Mine,” Everclear spent the better part of the decade relentlessly touring, playing to sold-out crowds around the globe. But, had it not been for the relative success of the band's 1993 debut, World of Noise, Everclear might have been just another footnote in a long line of forgotten bands. Singer Art Alexakis had tried his luck in San Francisco with the band Colorfinger in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s but after that band's demise, moved with his pregnant girlfriend to Portland, Oregon where he decided to give the music thing one last try. Though World of Noise was cheap to make, the songs that Alexakis recorded with bassist Craig Montoya and drummer Scott Cuthbert - rough and raw as they were - caught the ears of major label A&R reps looking for the “next Nirvana.” After an initial release on indie label Tim/Kerr Records, Capitol Records picked up the band and reissued the debut, and set Alexakis on the way to a career that has lasted 30+ years. For the first time ever, World of Noise is now available on all major streaming services, and a vinyl reissue is planned for later 2022. While Montoya and Scott Cuthbert (and Cuthbert's replacement, Greg Eklund) are long gone, Alexakis continues to make a living by releasing new Everclear music and touring. While the venues may be smaller, the passion is still there and Everclear will be celebrating World of Noise, and the rest of its catalog, on a summer tour with openers Fastball and The Nixons.   Songs In This Episode: Intro - Fire Maple Song 4:38 - Nervous and Weird Outro - Sick and Tired   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Amy Lee Lillard is co-host of a feminist book podcast, and also an author; her first book, Dig Me Out, a collection of short stories, was published in 2021.  Now 44, she lives in Des Moines, Iowa in the USA and was diagnosed autistic just last year. She wrote her book before she was aware of her autism, and found afterwards that she had essentially written a collection of autistic characters, without intending to. She says: “I write about the intersections of gender, sexuality and the patriarchy, and how it makes rage the only logical option. Once I understood myself to be autistic, I better understood this anger.” She is childfree and queer, and was the first person in her working class family to graduate college. In our conversation we talk about: ➡ Upbringing, social class, generational undiagnosed autism and their impact on how we see and experience difference and disability ➡ Autism and memory, dissociation and trauma ➡ How autism, sexuality and gender interplay ➡ Being childfree ➡ Shame and internalised judgement ➡ Writing for self expression and self understanding Squarepeg is a podcast in which neurodivergent women, and trans and nonbinary people, explore navigating a neurotypical world and share their insights, challenges and successes. I hope that these conversations will be inspiring and thought provoking, open you up to new ways of thinking about being neurodivergent, and help you feel more connected to a worldwide community of people with similar experiences. I'm Amy Richards, and after being diagnosed autistic at the age of 37 I'm now on a mission to learn more about different perspectives and issues around being a neurodivergent adult in a world that feels like it doesn't quite fit.   EPISODE LINKS: Amy's website - www.amyleelillard.com Her podcast: www.broadsandbooks.com  Her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amyleelillard/   If you'd like to connect or get in touch with Squarepeg, you can find me on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/squarepeg.community/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/squarepegautism  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/squarepegautism/  Or on my website: https://squarepeg.community/    THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS!

The Mommyheads are the quintessential artist for Dig Me Out. Formed in the late ‘80s by guys who went to a performing arts high school in New York City (yes, the same one that the movie/TV show Fame was based on) and who enjoyed experimenting with lo-fi recording equipment, The Mommyheads had no interest in aping what they were hearing on FM radio or MTV. Instead, they looked up to the underground bands that were also experimenting with 4-track recording, bands like Fish & Roses, They Might Be Giants, and Flaming Lips. In the early ‘90s, they signed with Simple Machines and released a long out-of-print collection of demos and 4-track recordings titled Swiss Army Knife. Dreams of “making it” led to a relocation to San Francisco where, after a string of indie releases on various labels, Geffen Records came calling. Like so many bands covered on the Dig Me Out podcast, the major label deal was not all it was cracked up to be and shortly after The Mommyheads' self-titled album came out in ‘97, they were dropped and the band broke up. After drummer Jan Kotik passed away from cancer in 2008, the other members got back together and have been active (VERY active) ever since releasing new albums and re-issuing the albums from the ‘90s at a regular pace. A new album is due later in 2022 and there are no signs of slowing down.   Songs In This Episode: Intro - In In Awe from The Mommyheads 8:31 - Wedding Day from Coming Into Beauty Outro - Spiders from Flying Suit   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Amy Lee Lillard is the author of a new book of short stories, Dig Me Out, from Atelier26 Books. Her characters are “witchy, feral, ready to tear free,” Chanelle Benz writes. But where did Amy draw her inspiration? What drew her to the short story format? Amy's fiction and nonfiction has been published in LitHub, Vox, Barrelhouse, Foglifter, Epiphany, Off Assignment, and Autostraddle (among others). She was shortlisted for the 2017 Berlin Writing Prize and named one of Epiphany's Breakout 8 Writers in 2018. By day, Amy works as a copywriter and marketer (and has for over 20 years). Plus, she's the co-creator and co-host of the funny and feminist podcast, Broads and Books. In this call, Amy walked us through her writing journey, from her experiences crafting unpublished novels to heading back to school for an MFA. She talked about the process of finding the right writing format, the right publisher, and how you, too, can make space for a little more fiction in your life.
