Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! and we're starting the year off with a moan and a rant... well, quite a few of them actually. We go back to our A-Z of Atrocities list and give you the letters Q, R, S and T. Expect some stern words on rom-com creators, Star Wars fans, phoned in comeback albums, crap interviews and a certain funk rock band... whoever could they be?

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, glad you could join us for another deep dive into pop culture and all that.

Hey you! You're about to listen to another GREAT episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! WELL DONE! On this weeks show we do basically the opposite of what Gaz used to do on his old podcast Track One, Side One and, instead of picking a bunch of opening tracks from albums, we pick some of our favourite closing tracks from some of our fave albums. There's plenty of good stuff from the world of funk, stoner rock, college rock, soul, goth-punk and much more. Plus we pay tribute to former Kerrang! magazine edito...

Welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a music podcast.

It's time for an exclusive review podcast on what we hope will be the sound of 2024, and a cultural phenomenon like what that Barbenheimmer was last year! Two of our favourite young bands have released new albums on the same day, and even though they're really different, they're also really similar. In the hot pink corner we have 3am (La La La), the third album from Aussie dance-pop duo Confidence Man. In the grey corner we have Guided Tour, the third album from London's indie rock inspired hard...

Hello friends, welcome to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, it's all about music basically. On this weeks show we are getting excited about the fact that we are tantalisingly close to getting a new album from goth legends The Cure, their first in 16 years! We'll be reviewing that, of course, but in the meantime, we decided to go back through their entire discography and pick one song from each of their, usually, brilliant records. There's also chat about the disastrous SNL skit where famous cockneys Noe...

Hello friends and welcome to another edition of Trve. Crvp. Pop!, where we try our very best to find the very worst album ever created in musical history. On this weeks episode we look at the 8th studio album from UK new wave legends Duran Duran, Thank You, released on the 27th of March 1995. Duran Duran were obviously massive in the 80's, but in the 90's it was far harder for the huge pop bands of that decade to succeed amongst a radically changing landscape. Duran Duran actually did manage it ...

Hello, welcome to not really a Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Podcast. No, it isn't.

Hey everyone, it's time for you to listen to this podcast, Trve. Cvlt. Pop! It's a slight change in scheduling this week, because Gaz is away and Steve is about to go away, so in steps Louder's own former editor of Metal Hammer and ex-podcast lad Merlin Alderslade. We discuss the events across the 12 months of 2009. Not a banner year in your mind possibly, but there's a very good chance that 2009 was the most eventful year for music so far in this Millennium. There were high profile deaths, the ...

Welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a Shaggy Podcast... well, a music podcast, but this week Shaggy plays a HUGE part in the show. He's not totally dominant though, although... look it's a lot of Shaggy. But Steve and Gaz look at a recent article proclaiming the 25 most overrated albums of all time and see if the criticism holds up. Plus there is a report of a recent show in Gent by returning death metal heroes The Black Dhalia Murder. It WAS us actually.

That's not what this is though, Steve and Sam are back because 2000's pop megastar Katy Perry has launched her return to music with a song that Rolling Stone have posited as "the worst comeback song of all time" so we felt that we needed to intervene.
