Krokus Headhunter Album Review Jan 29, 2023

Show notes

This week we invited Steve Wright from Podder Than Hell Podcast to kick off our 2023 album series and go track by track through Headhunter, the 7th Studio Album release by Swiss rockers Krokus.

Each month in 2023 we will cover a studio album release celebrating its 40th anniversary. We will go outside the hard rock and metal box at times during this series and visit albums we just think are great (or at least some of us think that they are great). As always we will invite a special guest to tag along and break up the disagreements that Sonny and I will no doubt have. We will also get you the listener involved and have you pick 2 albums from our list for our review to round out the year.

The 250 List Volume 2 Jan 15, 2023

Show notes

This week, we once again visit the The 250 List. In volume 2 we each take a look at 5 more band that did not quite make a household name for themselves in the 80s and early 90s.

The 250 List is a article written and published in November 2021 by Bobby Caughron from XS-Rock Website containing 250 hard rock and metal bands from the 80s and early 90s that fell short of setting the world on fire, but still had albums worth checking out. With each episode volume we do, Sonny and I will each cover 5 bands from that list to discuss.
