Episode 90: Nirvana

This week we’re discussing every album by Nirvana. This is probably the biggest band we’ve covered on the show yet, and thus needs very little introduction. However, in case you spent the last 30 years living in North Korea, Nirvana is the band who broke grunge into mainstream, inspired millions of musicians, and never made a bad record.

Episode 41: The Fluid

This week we talk about the most obscure band we’ve covered yet, The Fluid. This band was requested by listener Colt. Neither Alex nor Mike had ever heard of this band prior to this episode, so we’re all going in blind together. The Fluid started out as a straightforward punk band in the mid to late 80s, but then evolved into an energetic rock ‘n’ roll/grunge hybrid. Interesting band, even if not everyone’s cup of tea.

Closing track: “Nick of Time” from Clear Black Paper (1988)
