Folk Pop Without The Pop Structure: Fleet Foxes' 2008...

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2025/11/28

We're rounding out the month of November with a brand new episode digging into Fleet Foxes' self-titled breakout full-length record. We discuss their musical DNA rooted in older folk traditions, hymnals, and lush harmonies, unlike the emerging corporate-hipster, crowd-coded "stomp clap hey" movement the band was often grouped with, which was budding up in the folk pop genre around that same time.Tracklist: Sun It Rises Drops In The River White Winter Hymnal / Ragged Wood Quiet

Each week in November we are hitting pause and rewinding back to an episode covering an album that just embodies the vibes and ambiance of the Fall season. This week is Quentin's pick from an episode that dropped back in 2022 where we dove into Ambulance LTD's first and only album "LP" from 2004; a true gem in the era of cookie cutter indie pop.Tracklist: 1.

It's Halloween night, and we're reaching into our bucket of treats and sharing Queens of the Stone Age's creepiest tracks. We dig into why their music's embrace of dark imagery and macabre storytelling makes them a natural fit for the spookiest night of the year. Join us as we dive into some of QOTSA's heaviest, most ominous grooves that are as intelligently crafted as they are genuinely unsettling.Tracklist Queens of the Stone Age - Mexicola Queens of the Stone Age - Monsters In The

Stratospheric Sludge: The Deep Space Cuts of Hum's...

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2025/10/12

We blast off into the stratosphere with Hum's 1995 masterpiece You'd Prefer An Astronaut, the Champaign, Illinois band's sonic collision of shoegaze shimmer and bone-crushing sludge metal. While MTV latched onto "Stars," the album's real treasures lie in the deep space between those radio moments—massive, swirling guitar walls courtesy of Matt Talbott and Tim Lash that feel like entire galaxies collapsing in slow motion. This is the record that proved heavy music could be beautiful, and shoegaze

Our buddy Mitch returns and we pick up where we left off in our track-by-track deep dive into Kings of Leon's second record Aha Shake Heartbreak. Caleb Followill's lyrical prowess shines brightest on the back half of the record, from not-so-veiled innuendo to in-your-face bravado. Join us as we chat about one of the most formative records of our youth from a band on the verge of mega stardom.Tracklist Kings of Leon - Soft Kings of Leon - Razz Kings of Leon - Day Old Blues Kings of

An extremely formative band and record for the 3 of us, we reminisce about seeing the band open for The Strokes in 2003, rushing down to the local record shop to grab a copy of Aha Shake in 2005, and dive deep into every track of the record. We discuss the brilliant lyrical balance of raw vulnerability with unbridled testosterone, and

We say it often on this podcast: the 90s is a bottomless pit of incredible rock music as wide as it is deep. And if you grew up in the United States like we did, you may have slept on arguably the greatest Canadian rock band of all time: The Tragically Hip. From the cryptically beautiful lyricism of frontman Gord Downie to the catchy hooks and song structures of the band behind him, we deep dive into their 1994 record Day For Night and ask the question we find ourselves asking constantly on this

Was Bush Really Grunge? Breaking Down Their Early Sound

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2025/03/25

We finally get around to talking about Bush and dive into their first 2 records: Sixteen Stone and Razorblade Suitcase. Released only 8 months after the death of Kurt Cobain, the music world was split between fans that wanted to move on from grunge, and those that were highly protective of it's legacy and culture. Bush got caught somewhere in the middle, seeing commercial success on one hand and scorn from devoted grunge heads on the other. But decades removed from the era, the 2 records stand out
