1994 var året hvor metalrocken atter stod mangfoldigt frem rundt omkring; eksempelvis var der Machine Head, Korn, Marilyn Manson, og Megadeth i USA, Cradle of Filth, Carcass, Saxon og Black Sabbath i England og Mercyful Fate, Mayhem, Satyricon, Emperor, Tiamat og Amorphis i Skandinavien. Herhjemme albumdebuterede teenagetrioen Dizzy Mizz Lizzy med suveræn sangskrivning og kyndig musikalitet, mens Kurt Cobain tog sit eget liv en måned senere. Tag med tilbage til det alsidige hårde rock år 1994, på godt og ondt, sammen med studievært Jens "Jam" Rasmussen og studiegæster Steffen Jungersen, Michael Stützer Hansen og Michael Denner. Vi beklager den halvdårlige 'øverums'-lyd på POVcasten. Der var en fejl med mikseren under optagelserne, men har valgt at bringe den under alle omstændigheder. Nedslagspunkter: - Machine Head debuterer med en ny og frisk version af thrash metal på “Burn My Eyes”. Et album, der “stråler af intention," ifølge Steffen Jungersen . - Engelske Carcass definerer melodisk dødsmetal på albummet “Heartwork”, der udkommer herhjemme i oktober ‘93 og i USA i januar 1994. Jungersen og Stützer er positive. - Efter Artillerys opløsning finder Michael Stützer og hans bror Morten trøst i bandet Missing Link, der byder på sjov og forskellige stilretninger. - Den danske metal og hard rock-scene 1994 er en alsidig størrelse med både death metal-grupperne Illdisposed og Detest, melodiske Royal Hunt og de debuterende hitmagere Dizzy Mizz Lizzy. - Mercyful Fate optræder på Roskilde Festival, hvor de ser morgensolens første stråler oppe fra Orange Scene. Tre måneder efter udsender de albummet “Time”, der ifølge Michael Denner og Steffen Jungersen ikke rammer det hårdeste eller højeste niveau. -1994 er et markant år for norsk black metal med debutalbum fra både Burzum og Dimmu Borgir og markante værker fra frontløberne Satyricon, Mayhem og Emperor. De to sidstnævnte får særlig opmærksomhed fra Steffen Jungersen. - I Sverige er der bl.a. albumdebut fra In Flames og progressivt goth metal-udspil fra Tiamat, mens finske Amorphis rammer både lys og skygge på deres interessante to'er "Tales From A Thousand Lakes”. - Pantera, Sepultura og Prong giver studieværten en 50 grader varm rusketur i Arizonas ørken, hvor førstnævntes aktuelle album “Far Beyond Driven” holder bandet tilpas på toppen. - 1994 byder på metalrock i alle dets afskygninger, herunder Slayer med ny trommeslager, Testament med en mere growlet vokallyd og Megadeth med et massivt MTV-hit. - Biohazard holder den godt kørende på albummet “State of the World Address”, mens bysbørnene Dog Eat Dog står for årets heavyhop-hit med “No Fronts”. - Californiske Korn lægger fundamentet for en ny lyd til den næste metal-generation. - Marilyn Manson albumdebuterer i retning af det dunkle og bizarre, mens Nine Inch Nails afliver skaberværket med hård metal-elektronik. - Kurt Cobain begår selvmord i sit hjem og tager Nirvana med i graven. - Nordirske Therapy? bryder igennem med “Troublegum” og indspiller med Ozzy, mens Soundgarden udsender det stærke album "Superunknown" og årets hitsingle “Black Hole Sun”. - Året indeholder også tunge og gode album fra C.O.C., Kyuss og Monster Magnet. - Sidst, men ingenlunde mindst, så udgiver Black Sabbath deres 17. studiealbum “Cross Purposes”, hvor loyale Tony Martin er tilbage ved mikrofonen efter det korte comeback til Dio. Jungersen og Stützer uddeler atter roser til den - af nogen, ikke os - undervurderede Tony Martin. Stor tak til vores studiegæster, Steffen Jungersen, Michael Stützer og Michael Denner, supervisor Jan Eriksen, og til dig, der lyttede med! Vi er tilbage med 1995-afsnittet om små 14 dage.

The Podcast That Rocked for 5/27/26. Discussion on AI Ozzy Osbourne being a classy, great idea for fans to ask questions, Sharon and Jack Osbourne doubling down on it, and more.Discussion Topics: AI Ozzy Osbourne is a terrible idea Jack Osbourne swears AI Ozzy will be classy New Ozzy & Sharon biopic Soundgarden album with final Chris Cornell recordings in production New A Perfect Circle music ahead of European TourCaleb Shomo comes out; internet reacts like the internet Upcoming albums/tours/moreSONG OF THE WEEK: Poppy “Hand In My Pocket” (Alanis Morissette cover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV_DAQBvPL0SUBSCRIBE TO ARTV https://www.youtube.com/user/BeyondARTVA year after his death, Ozzy Osbourne is set to be recreated as a lifesized AI-powered avatar, his family have announced – but fans aren't entirely happy. The late rocker's son Jack and his wife, Sharon, announced on 20 May at Licensing Expo, an event for brands in Las Vegas, that the family had partnered with tech companies Hyperreal and Proto Hologram to create an Ozzy Osbourne avatar. The Black Sabbath frontman died in July 2025 at the age of 76. “It's kind of scary how it's really very accurate,” Jack Osbourne told the audience at Licensing Expo. “He will exist digitally as himself for as long as we have computers. Technology has come such a long way to where it's almost drag and drop. You could shoot a template for a commercial … literally prompt what you want Digital Ozzy to do in that commercial and you just drop it in. It's that simple now.” Sharon Osbourne added: “We're going to take it all around the world. People can talk to him and he will talk back. “Elvis died 50 years ago and everybody knows Elvis. I just want that for Ozzy.” (The Guardian)

Summer officially arrived the second a teenager accepted cash to shave off his broccoli haircut in somebody's garage like it was a shady underground stock trade. This episode of The Rizzuto Show starts with a parenting moment every adult secretly fears: your kid walks into the house saying, “Dad… I think I messed up.” Naturally, everyone assumes the car exploded or someone got arrested. Nope. Just a fresh buzzcut and instant regret.Apparently the new trend among teenage dudes is sacrificing their curls for gas money, construction jobs, or whatever weird social experiment Gen Z is running this week. The gang debates whether the broccoli boys are evolving, devolving, or accidentally forming a 1998 nu-metal tribute band. There's also concern over sunscreen, dating prospects, and whether moms are legally allowed to roast their sons immediately after a haircut disaster.Then things somehow get even more chaotic with the return of the “Three Song Challenge,” where listeners have exactly seconds to identify legendary bands based on three song titles. Sounds easy, right? Apparently not. Friday's contestants embarrassed the entire listening audience, so this episode becomes a redemption tour for humanity itself.The daily comedy show spirals through rounds featuring Pearl Jam, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Soundgarden, Blink-182, Black Sabbath, Stone Temple Pilots, Journey, Weezer, Rage Against The Machine, CCR, Smashing Pumpkins, Mötley Crüe, No Doubt, Iron Maiden, Incubus, ZZ Top, and Beastie Boys. Some callers absolutely dominate. Others sound like they've never heard music before despite living on Earth their entire lives.There are screaming kids in the background, accidental team-ups between callers, confusion, panic, and enough rock nostalgia to make your uncle punch drywall in excitement. It's basically what happens when a funny podcast combines classic rock radio, family dysfunction, and game show pressure into one beautiful trainwreck.The gang also teases discussions about dating costs, modern beauty standards, and whether the legendary “dad bod” was ever truly appreciated or if society just gaslit average men for several years. Tough questions get asked. Few answers arrive.If you love a comedy podcast loaded with sarcastic humor, music references, weird trends, parenting fails, St. Louis chaos, and daily nonsense that somehow feels therapeutic, this episode delivers all of it. This daily comedy show continues proving that absolutely nobody has things figured out — especially not the people hosting it.And honestly? If somebody offers you $50 to shave your head this summer… negotiate harder.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Audiovisual ➡️ fanlink.tv/Y0UTUBE Tracklisting ➡️ https://bit.ly/4uVSoQU Bold, timeless, and full of character — the Sazerac perfectly matches the spirit of KOYENGA's latest mix. Much like the iconic cocktail's blend of spice, depth, and smooth intensity, this set balances driving grooves with hypnotic atmosphere and flashes of raw energy. More uplifting, energized, and dancefloor-focused than before, the mix reflects the duo's evolving direction and the sound they now fully identify with. Formerly known as LADS, KOYENGA merges German and South African influences into a sound rooted in progressive, indie dance, and tech house. With releases on labels such as Lost & Found, The Soundgarden, Akbal, Buddha Bar, ICONYC, and Sound Avenue, the duo has built a reputation for emotionally charged productions with deep musical identity. This mix captures that new energy perfectly: powerful, immersive, and built for movement. Fresh cuts meet timeless oldies, while two unreleased KOYENGA gems add an exclusive edge to the journey. Like a perfectly crafted Sazerac, it leaves a warm intensity lingering long after the final sip. Cheers!

Lisandro's rise has been shaped by a deep connection to melodic and progressive electronic music. Emerging from Buenos Aires, the DJ and producer has built an international presence through a steady stream of releases on respected underground imprints from The Soundgarden to Perfecto and performances stretching from Ibiza to Miami.

That sensibility carries through his DJ sets, where flowing grooves, cinematic tension and understated emotion take priority over obvious peaks.

 On this Balance Selections mix, Lisandro stretches his creative wings with a two hour audio voyage. Featuring track from EMPHI, Anthony Pappa & Fauxplay, Kasper Koman and more, this is a dynamic mix that balances deep hypnotic moments with big melodic lifts. @lisandro-official Tracklisting & interview: https://balancemusic.com.au/balance-selections-lisandro/ ------------------------------------- Follow: Instagram: www.instagram.com/balance_series Facebook: www.facebook.com/balanceseriesmusic Youtube: www.youtube.com/@balancemusicofficial

In which the Curmudgeons meditate on the year in which grunge as a movement officially entered the universal rock consciousness. The Seattle rock scene in the mid-to-late 1980s was defined by a bunch of smart, ambitious wiseasses who were in a virtual competition with one another to find the truest sweet spot between punk and metal. However, it was not until the band Mudhoney found an enthusiastic and adoring fanbase in the United Kingdom in 1988 and 1989 that the rest of the world started to take notice. An inquisitive and diligent writer named Everett True, with help of storied Seattle record company Sub Pop, traveled to Seattle and cranked out an authoritative, lovingly crafted primer on grunge for the magazine Melody Maker that triggered a wave of buzz and set in motion the commercial forces that made grunge a cultural phenomenon two-plus years later. And True's timing was impeccable: Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone, Screaming Trees, Tad and this one "little brother" band named Nirvana all released exciting music in 1989. We cover that grungy waterfront during this episode.    Enjoy the awesome grunge music of 1989 by accessing our special Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7AKkKOtc1I4lCIcF6kp7Oz?si=c5dd28c7c3b940ed   Here's a handy navigation companion to this episode:   (00:52 - 03:43) - Arturo Andrade sets the parameters for our discussion of grunge in 1989   (04:19 - 22:43) - The Parallel Universe, in which we review recent albums from Lime Garden and Los Thuthanaka   (23:42 - 52:19) - We tell the story of how Everett True helped put grunge on the global map.

Jason and Paul celebrate the 35th anniversary of the lone Temple of the Dog record by reviewing it...retroactively. In the wake of Andrew Wood's death, Chris Cornell sought to mourn through music...writing music to honor his friend who'd died of a drug overdose. In doing so he convinced Wood's former Mother Love Bone bandmates, Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard, to help him flesh out and record the music along with Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron...and lead guitarist Mike McCeady (who'd been recently jamming with Ament and Gossard in a new project which would eventually become Pearl Jam). This is that record and this is our review of it...35 years later.Buy Pod MerchBecome a PatronWatch Us on YouTubeFollow Us on InstagramFollow Us on FacebookFollow us on XPlease take a short survey HERE to help us better the show!

You Opened for Metallica. You Got MTV Airplay. So Why Does Nobody Know Your Name?The strange disappearance of Metal Church and The DarkThe Dark earned its place on the turntable the way all our episodes do: through community vote. It pulled 47% of combined Patreon and Substack poll votes, beating out Fastway, early Pantera, and Metallica to claim this week's dig. If you have an album you think deserves a closer listen, suggest it here and let the community decide.You toured with Metallica. You got MTV airplay. You peaked at #92 on the Billboard 200. So how does an album just disappear?Metal Church released The Dark in October 1986, opened for Metallica on tour, and landed Watch the Children Pray in MTV rotation. They had every ingredient for a breakthrough. And yet, most people who love 80s metal have never heard a note of this record.This week Jason, Tim, and Chip work through all eight tracks, argue about whether the second half holds up, and make the case for David Wayne as one of the most underrated vocalists in the genre. They also dig into the band's origins in the Bay Area thrash scene, their move to the Pacific Northwest, Terry Date's early engineering work, and the real (and fictional) connections to Metallica.Highlights: what makes Ton of Bricks the perfect opener (23:00), the Queensrÿche-ish shading in Watch the Children Pray (19:44), the Lars Ulrich rumor and how Vanderhoof debunked it (33:14), and the honest case that the second half sags (35:16).

WELCOME TO B-SIDES AND BEERS EPISODE 102!TONIGHT WE'RE TALKIN MELVINS!

Corey Morrissette is back with Sean and Todd for Part Two, and we're coming in hot. We pick up with a conversation about the radio industry — specifically how corporate ownership reshaped music selection and stripped DJs of the autonomy they once had to break new artists and take real risks. We talk about what it used to mean to hear a song on the radio for the first time, and how that experience has largely been replaced by pre-determined playlists built for engagement metrics rather than music discovery.On a more hopeful note, Corey shares his plans to host a show called Hoser Rock Hour on a community cooperative radio station — and honestly, the concept is exactly what radio needs more of. We also get into album-oriented rock stations and how AOR formats used to be the ones deciding which songs became singles, not the labels. It's a fascinating piece of music industry history that doesn't get talked about enough.From there we get into concert war stories, and this is where things really get going. We talk about seeing the Headpins live, with Darby Mills commanding a stage the way very few performers can. We swap memories of Pantera opening for Skid Row in Montreal — a lineup that, on paper, sounds almost too good to be true — and we get into the Killer Dwarfs, including a wild story about a vocal showdown between Sebastian Bach and Russell Dwarf that you genuinely have to hear to believe. These are the kinds of nights that remind you why live music matters.Then we take on one of rock's great what-ifs: was there actually a rivalry between Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen? Two of the greatest guitarists of their generation, both rising at exactly the same time — it's the kind of question that sounds like it should have a dramatic answer. The reality might surprise you.Things take a genuinely unexpected turn when we get into Mary Shelley's writing group — yes, that Mary Shelley — and the remarkable fact that the circle of writers who gave us Frankenstein and Dracula were all in the same room, cooking up horror together. Corey also recommends Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein film, which he found to be a faithful and beautifully crafted adaptation. It's one of those historical footnotes that sounds made up but absolutely isn't.We close things out with a look back at 1994 — one of the most stacked years in modern music history. Green Day, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana's MTV Unplugged, Oasis, Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M., Beck — we go through the releases and argue about which ones still hold up. Along the way, Seanorama drops an unexpected piece of history about Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love" that genuinely stopped the conversation cold.It's been an absolute blast having Corey on for both parts.

Send us Fan Mail# Grunge## Episode Info- **Episode**: S03E94- **Title**: Grunge- **Original Air Date**: March 2026- **Duration**: 1 hour, 26 minutes## Episode SummarySteve and Windham throw on their imaginary flannel and build a Perfect Album Side for grunge, focusing on the songs, videos, soundtrack moments, and closers that defined the genre's brief but massive takeover. Along the way they talk about how grunge steamrolled hair metal, salute David Hudson and *State of Amorica*, and argue through what really belongs under the grunge umbrella.## Topics Covered- How grunge disrupted late-80s hair metal almost overnight- The Seattle scene, Sub Pop, and the anti-corporate identity of grunge- Why Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains became the center of the movement- The role of movie soundtracks and MTV in making grunge unavoidable- The gray area of “is this actually grunge?” with bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, and The Breeders- The emotional weight of Andrew Wood's legacy in songs by Temple of the Dog and Alice in Chains## Deep Dives- **Temple of the Dog – "Say Hello 2 Heaven"** as a tribute to Andrew Wood and a statement opening track- **Pearl Jam – "Jeremy"** as the era's defining music video juggernaut- **Alice in Chains – "Would?"** and the *Singles* soundtrack as central grunge artifacts- **Soundgarden – "Outshined"** in *True Romance* and the wider movie-soundtrack moment- The case for outliers and neighboring acts like The Breeders' "Cannonball" and Stone Temple Pilots' "Plush"- **Nirvana – "Rape Me"** and the band's role in making the whole grunge explosion possible in the first place## Fun Facts & Highlights- The episode quickly escalates into a George Costanza-style block-of-cheese visual.- Steve realizes he no longer owns any flannel shirts, which leads to the instant fake-band name **Final Flannel**.- There's a heartfelt shoutout to David Hudson and Ian Rice of *State of Amorica*, with David's exit from the mic helping inspire the episode.- The guys keep circling back to the same glorious grunge question: was the music the revolution, or was it also the look, the attitude, and the backlash to purple sequined jackets?- Andrew Wood's shadow hangs over the episode in a meaningful way, with multiple songs tied back to him.## Referenced Artists, Songs & Content- Temple of the Dog- Pearl Jam- Alice in Chains- Soundgarden- Nirvana- Stone Temple Pilots- The Breeders- Sonic Youth- Smashing Pumpkins- Mudhoney- Screaming Trees- Mother Love Bone- Chris Cornell- Eddie Vedder- Kurt Cobain- Andrew Wood- "Say Hello 2 Heaven"- "Jeremy"- "Would?"- "Outshined"- "Cannonball"- "Plush"- "Rape Me"- "Smells Like Teen Spirit"- "Hunger Strike"- *Singles*- *True Romance*- *State of Amorica*## Episode TakeawayGrunge wasn't just a sound—it was a correction, a mood, a look, and a cultural hard left turn. This episode works because Steve and Wyndham don't just list songs; they capture why this music felt like a detonation when it arrived.One idea.  Six songs.  Infinite possibilities...

In which The Curmudgeons set the dial back to 1988, when grunge started to become a real thing with real buzz and found itself no longer contained to just Seattle. Mudhoney kicked ass and triumphed in the U.K. with the gargantuan single "Touch Me I'm Sick" and their awesomely heavy debut EP Superfuzz Bigmuff. Soundgarden released its full-length debut album, which, while badly produced, found the band slashing and burning through a number of supremely intense rockers. And Screaming Trees served up a super-loud but super-cool take on 1960s psychedelic garage rock. Meanwhile, non-Seattle bands like Sonic Youth, Pixies and Dinosaur Jr. released classic hard rock albums that would influence a certain talented little guy from Aberdeen, Wa., a few years later.    Enjoy the awe-inspiring sounds of 1988 proto-grunge and grunge adjacency (with some bonus 1996 stuff from Screaming Trees) by accessing our special Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6lVn38eOrw3CraMeLejnTx?si=8de496ad2eb7414b   Here's a handy a navigation companion to this episode.   (00:52-03:13) - Arturo Andrade sets the parameters for our discussion of grunge from 1988   (04:13-14:40) - Parallel Universe, featuring reviews of new albums from Sault and Buck Meek   (15:39 - 41:12) - We tell the origin story of the mighty Sub Pop Records and cover releases from Mudhoney, Soundgarden and Scream Trees   (42:15 - 01:01:49) - We analyze tremendous "grunge-adjacent" albums from l7, Sonic Youth, The Pixies and Dinosaur Jr.   Join our Curmudgeonly Community today! facebook.com/groups/curmudgeonrock   Edited with an assist from Descript! web.descript.com     Hosted on Podbean! curmudgeonrock.podbean.com   Subscribe to our show on these platforms: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-curmudgeon-rock-report/id1551808911   https://open.spotify.com/show/4q7bHKIROH98o0vJbXLamB?si=5ffbdc04d6d44ecb   Co-written and co-produced by Arturo Andrade and Christopher O'Connor - The Curmudgeons

The new Pretty Reckless album, called Dear God, drops on June 26th. She and the band played with AC/DC last April, but before that, it hadn't been since the fateful night of the last Soundgarden show. She discussed opening those major shows worldwide. As we talked, she was in Chile. For I Am Death was released a bit ago, with the latest single called When I Wake Up. As with much of their catalog, it has a real throwback, classic vibe to it. She talks about that song, the album artwork, and a post about her last "confessional", which I, like an idiot, didn't pick up on. Taylor's awesome...her band is awesome...I cannot wait to drop the new album on the turntable!Speaking of turntables, I listened to Rush's 2112 to prepare to speak with author Daniel Bukszpan. His new book is entitled RUSH & 2112: 50 Years. Yes, I could talk Rush all day. Daniel discusses the approach he took when writing a book about one of the most defining Rush albums. He spoke with producers and others to get a feel of what it was like making the iconic album. An album that was a major turning point for the band. For a better look at what this book entails, here's an excerpt from the press release. In the book, Rush fans new and old can expect:• A deep dive into how "2112" came together and why it is regarded as a masterpiece.• Track-by-track analyses of the studio cut as well as insight into the 20-minute “2112” suite and why it works• Historical insight and analysis about the state of rock in the mid-'70s and evolving '80s, and how Rush created and sustained an unforgettable soundWe talked about all of this and much more..

This week I wanted to stick with movies that came out with soundtracks that felt current when the films were released. Not older songs brought in to set a mood, and not a random collection pulled together afterward, but albums that felt tied to the moment the studio was trying to sell.Fast Times at Ridgemont High, from 1982, is a good example. The soundtrack album came out that July, and Jackson Browne's “Somebody's Baby” reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, so the movie clearly had a connection to what people were hearing at the time. There was also some push and pull behind the scenes. Amy Heckerling later said some of the music choices reflected producer pressure as much as her own sense of the characters, which only makes the film feel more like a real snapshot of the early 1980s.Purple Rain, from 1984, is an even stronger case, because the movie and soundtrack are almost impossible to separate. The album came out on June 25, 1984. “When Doves Cry” was released in May, and “Let's Go Crazy” followed in July, so the film reached theaters with Prince already dominating the culture around it. I also like that “When Doves Cry” came out of a specific request from director Albert Magnoli. It was not just a Prince song sitting around waiting to be used. It was part of the movie as it was taking shape.Less Than Zero, works a little differently. People do not usually talk about its soundtrack with the same reverence, but it was still very plugged into late 1987. The Bangles recorded “Hazy Shade of Winter” for the film, and it went to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, which gave the soundtrack real chart power. The rest of the album also feels very rooted in its time, with Rick Rubin producing and artists like LL Cool J and Public Enemy sharing space with a sharper, louder Simon and Garfunkel cover. It really feels like a late 1987 attempt to pull different parts of current music into one package.Then there is Singles, from 1992, which may be the best example here of a soundtrack capturing a scene while it was still happening. The album came out on June 30, 1992, a few months before the movie opened, and it included Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains, along with Paul Westerberg, who also worked on the score. Cameron Crowe later called it more of an anti soundtrack, basically a souvenir of that scene instead of a tidy album built to sum up the movie. That feels right to me. It was not trying to seem current. It actually was current. Even the gap between the album release and the film helped give it that feeling.So that is the set this week. Four movies, four different kinds of soundtrack success, and four reminders that music can tie a film to its moment just as much as clothes, locations, or dialogue can. One caught the early 1980s world of radio and mall record stores. One became a hit album right alongside the movie. One used a major single to help define its identity. One caught a local scene before it had even settled into history. Those are the kinds of rentals I always like talking about, movies that bring back not just the film, but the moment when it first showed up.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the podcast where we harness the healing power of music to battle depression, trauma, and the everyday battles we all face. I'm your host, James Cox—a lover of music who knows firsthand how a riff can become a lifeline.In today's episode we sit down with Sean Martin, the powerhouse vocalist and guitarist behind the hard‑rock outfit The Quarantine. Sean's journey weaves together grunge grit, military grit, and raw, unapologetic honesty. From his days in the airborne infantry and covert training in Alaska and Thailand to the darker corridors of PTSD and a “temporary psychotic breakdown” that landed him in a VA inpatient program, Sean shows us how music can become both therapy and rebellion.Together we explore:Art as Therapy – how Sean turned a scathing rap‑rock track, “Nemesis,” into a cathartic outlet for trauma.The Weight of OPSEC – why soldiers often stay silent, and how breaking that silence unlocks healing.Band Identity – the meaning behind “The Quarantine” and its stance against societal other‑ization.Discipline Meets Creativity – what military rigor taught Sean about practice, improvisation, and pushing beyond the sheet music.Grunge Roots & Influences – his first connection to Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and how those sounds still echo in his writing.Lightning‑Round Favorites – from Soundgarden and Pantera to Incubus, Deftones, and even Michael Jackson, revealing the eclectic soundtrack that fuels his soul.If you've ever felt the sting of isolation, the roar of anxiety, or the need for a musical spark to pull you back from the edge, this conversation is for you. Grab your headphones, take a breath, and let Sean's story remind you that, no matter how loud the world gets, there's always a chord that can bring us back to center.Stay tuned—because when words fail, music speaks.

When Matt Fogelson's father died of lung cancer during his senior year of college, he turned to music to express what words couldn't - rage, self-loathing, and grief so profound he didn't know where to put it.  In this conversation, Matt - author of the new memoir Restrung - talks about the silence that surrounded his father's terminal illness, the vacuum left by an absent but beloved parent, and how grunge music (especially Soundgarden and Pearl Jam) created space for him to feel what was hard to put into words.  Matt shares how his Aunt Wendy became his unlikely guide, why he wore his father's suits to work for years trying to feel close to him, and the breakthrough moment when Pearl Jam's "Release" helped him shift his relationship with his father's memory and his grief.  We also discuss how grief shaped his approach to parenting, why he sang a Grateful Dead song to his son every night for 14 years, and the three songs he wishes he could share with his father now.  Resources Matt's memoir Restrung (released February 3, 2026)  Matt's Substack and music blog (Fine Tuning)  More at dougy.org  Grief Out Loud is a production of Dougy Center, the National Grief Center for Children and Families.
