Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the pop music pod... well, actually, very much not pop music this week. On this weeks show Steve does his best to finally try and make Gaz a fan of one of the most divisive sub-genres in music; death metal. We're joined by the lads from the excellent Bangers and Mosh podcast to see if we can finally sell him on the glory of death metal. The boys have picked 6 albums that they have specifically curated for Gaz, expect classic metal, prog, groove...

Hello and welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a music podcast. On this weeks show, Steve and Gaz are pitting songs against each other in a fight to the death (well... a polite discussion actually) as to what is the definitive anthem of a certain subgenre. So, what is the definitive thrash rager, the song that encapsulates the spirit of UK punk rock, the song most likely to get your Auntie on the dancefloor, the ultimate defiant pride anthem or the winner of the battle of Brit-pop? This and ...

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the music podcast. On this weeks show Steve and Gaz discuss the recent Download Festival, a fest that was filled with trouble; terrible music, bands pulling out, sponsors being chased off and all manner of problematic musicians on the bill. It wasn't all bad though, and there are a few great sets that took place over the weekend... was any of it as good as Steve seeing Confidence Man in Brighton though? That's a rhetorical question. There's a r...

Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, it's a music podcast... you know that. On this weeks show it's all gone a bit different from what we initially planned. Gaz is caught up at work, so luscious Sam Sleight stands in for him, and rather than do what we were originally going to do, we have decided to dedicate this week's show to Steve Albini, the legendary guitarist, frontman and producer, responsible for some of our collectively favourite records of the last 40-odd years. Steve and Sam pick three a...

Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the music podcast, this week Steve and Gaz look back at a world where there was no podcast! The horror of it all! What would we have spoken about if there was one back in those years? Well, let us tell you. We head back to 2015 and motor all the way up to 2022, to pick one album from each year that we feel we would have gone mad for if we had been doing the podcast at that time.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! A POP MUSIC PODCAST! Steve and Gaz have decided to launch back into the tried and tested formula of the A, B, C Box Game that we love so much. You know the drill by now... but for those of you that don't, this is the deal; we take some overplayed songs of popular culture and decide if we would like them turned off (Box A), listen to them if they're on (Box B) or relentlessly play them FOREVER (Box C). We tackle song by the likes of .....

Welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a pop music podcast. VERY pop this week as Steve and Gaz enter the murky waters of cover versions by Boybands, a tricky place to navigate, as, in the main, boybands covering other people's songs get quite the bad rap. But we've had a good 'ol nose around and have come up with five each that we think are worth your time. From Take That and East 17 here on our own shores, to Boyz II Men and New Kids on the Block on the other side of the pond, there are some...
