LIVING WITH A POD COMPLEX...

This episode is about Most Precious Blood and their 2005 album MERCILESS. This was arguably tha biggest release for tha band not only because it's them at tha peak of their powers but also because in 2005 metal and hardcore is having a huge cultural moment thanks to things like Hot Topic and MTV2.⁣

Living With a Pod Complex
Throughout their history Roadrunner Records distributed many other labels in many other countries so it's no surprise that in the mid 2000s Trustkill Records had about 20 albums released and re-released through them.⁣
This episode explores A TRUE CLASSIC ROCK 'N ROLL ALBUM OF MY LIFETIME - Open Hand's 2005 "You and Me."
This record not only has one of my favorite songs EVER ("Tough Guy") but also some of tha best and time-tested packaging. It was an honor to talk to tha mastermind behind tha masterpiece Justin Isham all about it!!!

Baby Fox - Dum Dum Baby (1998) [w/ Alex Gray of Baby Fox] Feb 06, 2022

Show notes

MEEPISODE 64:
Coming up at tha catalyst of tha U.K.'s home grown trip-hop sound is Baby Fox. Fronted by vocalist Christine Leech who counts co-writing for Madonna on her credits, tha trio is rounded out by emcee Dwight and producer Alex Gray.
Their debut album, tha heavily dub-influenced "A Normal Family" is great but tha follow up in '98 for Roadrunner "DUM DUM BABY" is one of my across-tha-board FAVORITES!
It's like if tha Fight Club soundtrack had your guardian angel singing warnings over it while your false ego is rapping in your ear to roll tha dice.
We find out all about what led to that dark turn in sound as well as what tha hell a Baby Fox or Dum Dum Baby are on an all new MEEP MEEP... with an intro & outro by Violent J of ICP!

Show notes

MEEPISODE 60:⁣
Karma to Burn are a unique entry into the Roadrunner catalog - an INSTRUMENTAL band...who release a non-instrumental album on Roadrunner. ⁣
⁣
K2B started as all riffs and no vocals but when Howie Abrams signed them to tha label, expectations were that they'd get a frontman to bring their message to tha MASSED and as you'll hear...that was easier said than done. ⁣
⁣
Their incredibly talented leader Will Mecum unfortunately passed away in 2021. This album however lives on whether he likes it or not & we have his partner in literal crime Rich Mullins to take us from the beginning to... Well you'll see where it goes. ⁣
⁣
We're also joined once again by tha man Howie Abrams to tell us about one of his final projects for RR, how he helped them release tha fully instrumental follow-up with his friend Peter Nussbaum, and Karma being courted by a member of Metallica!⁣
⁣
This saga featured John Garcia of Kyuss fame temporarily being their vocalist, Nick Oliveri of Queens of tha Stoneage fame being around for it, working with producer Steve Haigler, and finally...a new Karma to Burn album in the works!!!⁣

Vision of Disorder - Imprint (1998) [w/ Matt Baumbach & Mike Fleischmann of V.O.D. and Brian Audley of Incendiary] Dec 08, 2021

Show notes

MEEPPRINT⁣
⁣
In 1996 Vision of Disorder released what is now considered a classic with their self-titled "green drip" album but tha band wasn't satisfied with that sound. They knew they could do better - and now we do too!⁣
⁣
In 1998, "IMPRINT", tha relentless follow-up was unleashed complete with a Phil Anselmo guest spot, recording with producer Dave Sardy, and a nationwide Triple Meep Attack tour with Earth Crisis & Sepultura!⁣
⁣
Tha Visionaries themselves Matt Baumbach & Mike Fleischmann leave their mark on our minds about tha entire process as well as tha prelude (Resurrecting Reality), epilogue (For the Bleeders, From Bliss to Devastation), and quintessential V.O.D. songs.⁣
⁣
In addition, Brian Audley from modern Long Island hardcore heroes INCENDIARY reminisces about his early exposure to Vision of Disorder and their legacy today.⁣
⁣
There's no slumping on this sophomore and V.O.D. is for EVERYBODY on this Meep Meep!⁣
