2025/12/23

Here's a preview of our second Patreon exclusive Pod. Our Christmas BONUS pod calls for something unprecedented so we’re unveiling our amazing CHRISTMAS QUIZ which hasn’t got a name, but needs to be heard to be believed. We watched Krampus and have OPINIONS - and we also reveal our YouTube Wrapped (like Spotify Wrapped but from a company that’s slightly less despicable). Our feature presentation is a look at Metal Hammer from the wildly futuristic year 2014! What’s the rock press like in the age of

Merry Christmas, FOR REALS THIS TIME. When we're not roasting your favourite Christmas movies, we’re delving into a *very* festive Kerrang from 1985. Lemmy, Venom's Cronos and those lads from Ratt are all getting into the spirit, while the mag does its bit for women's lib by getting the top female rock stars of the day together for a photoshoot. And then referring to them as tarts.Stryper are the cover stars, appropriately enough for the birth of Christ, but Robert Sweet is keen to point out he

It's September 1992 and Faith No More's Mike Patton is on the cover regurgitating *something*. Bryan Adams has a single out that we've completely forgotten, but we're still fans of all of his Mel C collaborations. Axl Rose is picking up industry awards left right and centre, but does that mean he's calmed down a bit? We'll find out!Bon Jovi have a “controversial” new single out, but we’re more interested in King Diamond’s Christmas song OBVIOUSLY. Marillion are celebrating 10 years of having a

Say Hello to Quincy Jones - Q July 1990

2025/11/11

A Very Merry Christmas from everyone at PWM Towers. We’re celebrating by lobbing up as much tinsel as humanly possible, rewatching one of our favourite cold themed horror movies and perusing Q number 46 from July 1990. The venerable mag does a Where Are They Now on Jilted John, which leads us to remember John Shuttleworth’s appearance on Vic and Bob’s All Nighter from Xmas 1993. Some bloke writes in about how he was in Queen, and we sidestep The Stone Roses’ current legal problems by focusing on

How much for Prince’s shoes? It’s the Spooky/Christmas season so we’re discussing Trick or Treat related anxiety, dressing as Lindsey Buckingham for Halloween, and which of the CIPWM corporation is of no use when it comes to wrapping presents. We go through a couple of our Christmas movie favourites - no change there, then - and review some of our recent TV watches (Andor! Mayfair Witches! The Ed Gein Show!). By the way, did you ever notice rock bands in the 90s were really fucking into serial

2025/08/06

Join us as we look back on fifty glorious years of podcasting, in our ass-blasting, spectacular Anniversary Blowout!! We're teleporting all the way back to June ‘81 to check out a little magazine called Kerrang, The Sounds Heavy Metal Special (and The Empire Strikes Back Monthly issue 146). We look at some of the lesser known NWOBHMers (hello Handsome Beasts!), and check out the OFFICIAL 100 Greatest Heavy Metal songs. What’s at number 1? The answer may shock you. Or, y’know it may not.Saxon get

Gettin' it straight in '98 y'all! We're just back from a Star Wars "convention", and tearing ourselves away from playing (Kessel) Sabacc long enough to record a podcast, we're tackling a Kerrang from the modern era (27 years ago).The deeply ungoogleable pop punk band A are recalled, as is the unloved meteor based sci fi blockbuster Armageddon. We examine how Disney *really* banked on the popularity of that movie well past its use by date, and also the curious marketing decision of forcing people

I want to feel disgusted! Once again we’re reliving our glory years of watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer and going to Cybergoth Nights. The Cure’s Robert Smith is being lowered into a furry, sticky orifice but not mentioning any potential Freudian implications. He's right about Morrissey, mind.We dig into a lengthy Peter Gabriel article, which is mostly about WOMAD and Real World Studios, so of course we talk a lot about Alan Partridge, the Genesis Reunion concert and whether Gabes consults his mum

Extra special 46th episode spectacular! Due to a tech fail cock up of massive proportions, this week we're looking at Q - The *Modern* Guide to Music and More - from May ‘89. Sting is on the cover, because of course he fucking is. We examine the intellectual rock hunk's activism, how difficult it is being really really good looking, and his half hearted feud with Rod Stewart.We're also talking Fun House, like, a proper Fun House Deep Dive. I swear there's been more mentions of Pat Sharp on this

HI BILLY! What's the one movie that gets mentioned on this podcast more than any other? Long time listeners will hardly be surprised to hear that we've recorded a Lost Boys special. Join us as we luxuriate in the sexy vampire goodness, 80s style! What's Kiefer Sutherland like in real life? Has Billy Wirth cast a spell over all women of a certain age? Who is the drummer in this band? Do DVDs still exist? Are there any other movies with vampires in? We'll attempt to answer all these questions, and

What’s Phil Collins’ favourite chocolate? It’s not a gag, we actually want to know. Regardless of the famous tub thumper’s preferred sweet treat, he’s the star of Kerrang’s most bonkers cover ever. We’re looking at a really really OLD magazine this week, so there’s news on Status Quo splitting up shocker - especially shocking since they carried on for about 40 years after this.Also in this ish: Spider with their particular peculiar brand of rock and roll and Rock Goddess, on tour of various shitty

It's Q, so by law there has to be a feature about U2, but it's U2 in their postmodern, post-earnest, post black and white phase. We discuss the best song they ever did- see if you can guess which it is, considering we also talk about Batman Forever on this one. Also featured is Prince so we investigate further his collaboration with Kate Bush and discover something that presumably everyone else knew since The Red Shoes came out. Also fun fact, we reveal which of Prince’s entourage appeared in Buffy

Once again we’re taking a break from the parallel universe of 80s metal, and delving into Q, The Modern Guide To Music and More, from 1992, so we’re on the back foot straight away as everything is spelled correctly. There’s news about Prince and Craig McLachlan, and ABBA are back, back, back etc. This leads us to talk about the brilliance of Erasure, and tribute bands.Along the way we’re talking Mel B / G / Scary Spice, a surprising revelation about Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead, and the

This week we’re looking at Kerrang Kontaktz, the Magazine Written By Rock Fans - or alternatively, a lazy money for old rope exercise in which some long rambling letters get published in full. Some “Kontroversial Komments” on the matters of are Whitesnake big fat sellouts, is Robert Plant trying to distance himself from his Led Zeppelin past, and are Glam Rock Pretty Boys giving rock a bad name? Also there’s a shit ton of Pen Palz, which is always good for some inexplicable and baffling comments
