2022/07/04

Emerging from New York's noise rock scene, Band Of Susans broke away from the rock clichés that were all but set in stone by the late eighties, liberating the genre alongside their grungy shoegaze counterparts.

Sloan: The Fab Four of 90's Alt Rock

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/06/20

Throughout the mid-nineties as proto-grunge, radio-friendly Nirvana knockoffs were signing record deals like they were going out of style, Sloan took the road less traveled after signing with Geffen Records, even in the face of mounting pressure from the label to stay on that grungy, noise rock course. A second full-length album found the group heading in a more refined pop sound, a world away from the washed-out fuzz of their previous releases. Despite having been swept under the rug by Geffen,

Controlled Chaos: The Intoxicating Shoegaze of Swirlies

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/06/13

Considered by many to be one of America's best entries into the shoegaze genre during its 90s heyday, we talk about Swirlies' 1996 record They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons. The band spent a long time in the studio with this record, going on to refer to it as their "longest labor of love". The result is a collection of wide-ranging styles that blend lo-fi, noise pop, grunge, and even electronica with their shoegaze sound. And with lead singer Damon Tutunjian's

An Uneven Wilderness: Unwound's Repetition

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/05/23

We're back from vacation with a short and sweet episode on the post-hardcore noise rock stylings of Unwound, a band that created, as Fred Thomas of AllMusic once said, "some of the more influential and lasting work of their era, with their cloudy moods and explosively tense group dynamics culminating in some truly transcendent albums." On this episode, we're diving into our favorite album from the group, 1996's Repetition. Tracklist: Message Received Corpse Pose Unauthorized

Rewind: Jimmy Eat World - Clarity

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/05/16

Another rewind episode? What are you guys on vacation or something? Yes. Yes we are. Now considered a touchstone record of the emo genre, we take a look at Jimmy Eat World's 1999 classic Clarity, and how the sound they were perfecting ushered us into the third wave of emo music. Before that we go all the way back to the spring of 1985 in Washington D.C. to explore the origins of emo, and discuss how difficult the genre is to define.

On this rewind episode pulled from the No Filler vaults we bask in the shimmering, deafening, lush haze of our favorite subgenre: shoegaze. We pick a few random branches on the shoegaze tree and admire all that makes grunge's less popular sibling so goddamn amazing.

A Little Heavier: How Helmet Bridged Indie Rock and...

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/05/02

We turn up the gain and aggression just a tad as we take one step closer to metal with tracks from Helmet's Meantime and Betty. Helmet carved out their own space in the 90s rock spectrum with a unique blend of metal-leaning riffs, melodic grooves, and alt-rock vocals.

F*cking Phil: Drop Nineteens' Delaware

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/04/18

For those just getting into the shoegaze genre, there are a handful of albums that are must-listens. Of course at the top sits My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless", Slowdive's "Souvlaki", and Ride's "Nowhere". But while there are must-listen albums, perhaps more important are the must-listen songs. And for many, Drop Nineteen's Delaware features one of shoegaze's greatest moments: the ethereal, slow-build simmer of "Kick The Tragedy", a near 9 minute drone with an unexpected sucker punch two-thirds of

Heavy, Spacey, Mesmerizing: Hum's Downward Is Heavenward

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/04/04

After 90s alt-rockers Hum gained a small amount of fame with their 1995 single "Stars", the band headed back to the studio to make their next record. By the time the Downward Is Heavenward was released in 1998, perhaps rock was ready for something else. The record garnered little attention, and the band dissolved, not putting out another record for another 22 years! But the record lived on, and it's masterful blend of space rock, grunge, post-hardcore, and a touch of emo sensibilities has lead many

As we continue exploring the not-so-grungy, somewhat shoegazey side of 90s alt-rock, we're diving into Pale Saints' second studio album from 1992, "In Ribbons", a record that "bristles with quirk, strangeness and charm".

Jangly, Murky, Mysterious: How R.E.M's Murmur Ushered...

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/03/07

We chat about R.E.M's debut record, Murmur and try to imagine what it was like to hear this style of rock for the first time in 1983. Hearing it now, R.E.M's mix of jangly 60s pop and folk rock with garage rock attitude sounds so normal and common after the band's influence shaping the sound of countless rockers for nearly four decades. But at the time, critics knew it was special. So much so that Rolling Stone put it at its best album of the year, beating out Michael Jackson's Thriller, Police's

And We Were So Small: The Music of Polaris

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/02/21

With Miracle Legion's future in limbo after legal troubles with their label at the time, Mark Mulcahy came up with a new name for the group (and alter egos for each band member) when they were approached by Will McRobb to write songs and appear in his upcoming Nickelodeon project. The show was of course The Adventures of Pete and Pete. Not only did they appear in the opening credits and write the theme song for the show, Polaris also played a heavy role in an episode all about discovering your
