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

It's not shoegazing, it's brogue-gazing: Pale Saints'...

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

The World Was So Big: The Music of Miracle Legion

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/02/14

If you were in college in the early 80s and tuned in to your campus radio station, you probably heard a fair amount of R.E.M., maybe some Pixies, or The Smiths even. But you may have heard a lesser known group: Miracle Legion. With similar jangle pop melodies and vocal stylings as Peter Buck and Michael Stipe, the band was often compared to their R.E.M. counterparts. But what made Miracle Legion different is perhaps what kept them from reaching superstardom: the lyrical themes of singer Mark Mulcahy

Rewind: REM - Life's Rich Pageant

2022/02/07

Travis is out of town this week, so we're dropping a Rewind episode on you from our first year podcasting back in 2018, where we covered REM's 4th studio album "Life's Rich Pageant". If you were to plot R.E.M's path from underground buzz to household name, their fourth studio album Life's Rich Pageant was the turning point. Coming out of a miserable recording experience in London with Fables of the Reconstruction in 1985, the band heads back to the states and are determined to inject some energy and

Niche-less Indie Rock: The Music Of Ambulance LTD

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/01/31

We're taking a break from the dream pop resurgence of the 2010s to reminisce over one of Quentin's favorite indie rock records from our high school years: Ambulance LTD's "LP" from 2004. With a frontman in constant struggle to keep his band together, and a bankrupt record label preventing him from releasing new material, Marcus Congleton's Ambulance LTD was rather short-lived. Though they may not have had enough time to evolve their sound and bring it to maturity, a band that once said "their niche

Steeped In Suburbia: Real Estate - Days

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/01/17

Continuing our streak devoted to dreamy indie pop from the 2010s, we listen to an album steeped in suburbia: Real Estate's Days. Everything from the album art to the lyrical themes harken back to that youthful innocence of growing up in the suburbs. The songs are simple but the song structures are anything but, with jangly guitar melodies and gorgeous harmonies lie somewhere between 60s pop and 90s alternative. So hop on your bicycle and let the phone lines and street lights lead the way as we bask

Lo-Fi Daydream - Beach Fossils

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/01/10

We learned about a new subgenre while researching this record: "twee pop". The term is used to describe music that is simple and innocent, with boy-girl harmonies, lyrical themes about love, and catchy melodies. It's the perfect way to describe Beach Fossil's debut 2010 record. Written, recorded, and produced by frontman and Beach Fossil's founder Dustin Payseur while longing to escape his new home in New York, the album is the perfect antidote to anyone longing for summer, the innocence of youth,

21st Century Dream Pop: Beach House - Teen Dream

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/01/03

After signing to Sub Pop, Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand decided it was time to take Beach House's lo-fi signature sound and make everything "bigger". They kept the core ingredients (jangly guitars, organ drones, and Victoria's distinct low, Nico-esque vocals), but added more approachable, hooks and more pop-leaning choruses. You could say they put the "pop" in dream pop more so than any of their predecessors, garnering mainstream success. The band is now synonymous with the genre, and helped to
