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.

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
