No One Took Them Seriously | Ep. 259: B*tch Magnet

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour ·

2026/09/29

Today we're breaking down every album by Bitch Magnet, one of the most underrated post-hardcore bands of all time. Made up of core members Sooyoung Park, Jon Fine, and Orestes Morfin, Bitch Magnet didn't make a huge splash during their initial run in the late 80s/early 90s. But a successful reunion in 2011 reminded the world of just how ahead of their time they were. This is an essential band for any post-hardcore fan and one of the most underrated bands we've covered on this channel. Intro 00:00

The Album That Started It All | Live at the Witch...

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour ·

2026/09/22

Today we're discussing Live at the Witch Trials, the first album by legendary post-punk band The Fall. Before The Fall became completely run by vocalist and founding member Mark E. Smith, there was a lot more collaboration and democracy. And while that didn't last long, it resulted in one hell of a great record. Intro 00:00 Band Formation 00:50 The First Lineup 1:23 Band Name Origin 3:08 Their Forgotten First Drummer 3:30 Recording the First Single 4:03 Start of the Crazy Lineup Changes 5:03

2026/09/15

Today we're discussing The Modern Dance and Dub Housing by post-punk pioneers Pere Ubu. Led by vocalist and only constant member David Thomas (before his death in 2025), Pere Ubu is considered one of the first ever American post-punk bands, forming in 1975. The Modern Dance and Dub Housing, the band's first two records, are considered classics and essential in shaping the entire genre.

The Masters of Indie Songwriting | Ep. 258: Swervedriver

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour ·

2026/09/08

Today we're discussing every album by Swervedriver. Led by sole consistent members Adam Franklin and Jimmy Hartridge, Swervedriver is often lumped in with other shoegaze bands of the time, but has an identity entirely their own. Heavy, catchy, emotional, and expertly written. Intro 00:00 Shake Appeal 00:27 Swervedriver Forms 1:31 Getting Signed to Creation 2:59 Son of Mustang Ford EP 4:25 Rave Down EP 5:54 Sandblasted EP 6:39 Raise 7:46 Signing to A&M 10:12 Reel to Real EP 10:34 Graham Runs Away

The Most Bizarre Punk Band of All Time | Ep. 257:...

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour ·

2026/08/25

Today we're discussing every album by British punk band Rudimentary Peni. While technically considered anarcho punk, RP was far stranger and musically unpredictable--a direction spearheaded by singer/guitarist Nick Blinko. Blinko also produces the band's album art, giving them a brilliant and inimitable signature. While Peni's music has gotten far less adventurous in recent years, their mark as one of the most unique bands of all time remains. Intro 00:00 Band Origins 00:22 Nick Blinko 00:35 The

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour ·

2026/08/18

Today we're discussing Milo Goes to College by the Descendents. Widely considered one of the most influential pop punk albums ever made, Milo Goes to College blends hardcore punk with strong melodies and at times heartfelt lyrics. Driven by drummer Bill Stevenson and singer Milo Aukerman, Descendents are largely responsible for what we now consider pop punk Intro 00:00 How They Formed 00:12 Tony Joins 3:13 Ride the Wild/It's a Hectic World 4:39 Milo Joins 5:08 Coffee Joins 6:06 Fat EP 6:54 Milo

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour ·

2026/08/11

Today we're discussing Warrior on the Edge of Time by pioneering space rock band Hawkwind. Warrior on the Edge of Time is the band's fifth album and their last with Lemmy Kilmister, who went on to form Motörhead after his firing. The events that led up to this, however, are a roller coaster of psychedelics, mayhem, and alleged backstabbing.

2026/08/04

Today we're dissecting Metal Box/Second Edition by Public Image Limited (or PiL for short). Formed by John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten) directly after leaving the Sex Pistols, PiL is an ever-changing beast of a band that continued to push the boundaries of rock music in strange and unexpected ways. Metal Box is one of the most influential albums of all time and even now, it's an album unlike any other. Intro 00:00 PiL Origins 00:22 Leaving Punk Behind 3:15 What Is Metal Box? 6:08 Recording the

2026/07/28

Today I'm breaking down every album by Six Finger Satellite. Formed in Providence, RI in 1988, Six Finger Satellite were an insane noise rock band unlike any other. James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem was their sound engineer and eventual producer, until he inadvertently contributed to their breakup. Just crazy.

2026/07/21

Today we're discussing Dinosaur Jr's first album, You're Living All Over Me. Released in 1987 on SST records, You're Living All Over Me is one of the most beloved rock albums of all-time and largely responsible for the formation of alt rock, indie, and shoegaze. Here, J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph crafted some of the most original and impassioned rock, with no shortage of hooks, as well as ear-piercing chaos.

The First Wave of Anarchist Punks | Ep. 255: Zounds

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour ·

2026/07/14

I'm breaking down every album by anarcho punk band Zounds. Formed in Reading, Berkshire, England by Steve Lake in 1977, Zounds were closely associated with other anarcho punk bands like Crass, Flux of Pink Indians, and The Mob. After initially breaking up in 1982, Zounds reformed in 2001 and continued until their final breakup in 2025.

The Overlooked Masters of Noise Rock | Ep. 254:...

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour ·

2026/06/30

I listened to every album by Laughing Hyenas. Formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan by John Brannon (of hardcore punk band Negative Approach) and Larissa Strickland (of L-Seven) in 1984, Laughing Hyenas were a noise rock band who fused elements of garage rock, punk, blues, and Birthday Party insanity. Their struggles with heroin led to chaos as the years went on, including Brannon vomiting on Drew Barrymore right before a show.

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour ·

2026/06/23

We interviewed Paul Leary, guitarist and founding member of the Butthole Surfers, and he walked us through each of their albums, one-by-one. Made up of core members Paul Leary, Gibby Haynes, and King Coffey, the Butthole Surfers are one of the most beloved and extraordinarily weird bands in history. But after some major-label drama in the early 00s, they are finally releasing the original version of their final album as it was intended by the band (After the Astronaut, out June 26). Intro 00:00

I listened to the self-titled debut album by feedtime. Originally formed in 1979, feedtime was a noise rock band from Sydney, Australia who is credited with helping to create grunge music.

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour ·

2026/06/09

I listened to every album by mathcore band Botch. Made up of musicians who would go on to form Minus the Bear, Russian Circles, and Sumac, Botch was a brutal and excitingly technical band. A must listen for fans of Dillinger Escape Plan, Coalesce, or just rad heavy music in general. Intro 00:00 How They Formed 3:26 Unifying Themes Redux 5:25 Matt Bayles 12:39 American Nervoso 14:43 We Are the Romans 22:56 An Anthology of Dead Ends EP 28:36 The Reunion 34:15 Outro 35:30

2026/06/02

I listened to Bubblegum by Mark Lanegan. Released in 2004, Bubblegum is Lanegan's sixth solo album, and was released well after his primary band, Screaming Trees had disbanded. The dizzying number of collaborators on Bubblegum include PJ Harvey, Josh Homme, as well as Duff McKagan and Izzy Stradlin of Guns 'N' Roses.

2026/05/26

I interviewed Jeff Shneider (aka "Mr. Clinical Depression"), guitarist of Arab on Radar, and he walked me through each of their albums, one-by-one. Arab on Radar was a noise rock band from the 90s and early 00s who was so abrasive and offensive that concert attendees literally physically attacked them for their music. Intro 00:00 The Pseudonyms 2:42 How the Band Formed 4:54 The Stolen Singles 10:20 Queen Hygiene II 15:10 Rough Day at the Orifice 30:08 Soak the Saddle 36:04 People's Violent

2026/05/19

I listened to every album by Deep Turtle and you should, too. Deep Turtle was an insane and unpredictable experimental prog band from Pori, Finland in the 90s and early 00s. And that's about all I know. Mysterious, hilarious, and too good to be forgotten once you've heard them. Who Are Deep Turtle? 00:00 Searching For Info Online 2:38 Rip-Off Dokumento 5:15 There's a Vomitsprinkler in My Liverriver 12:41 The Peel Session 17:56 Tutina! 18:30 Recommend Me Some Albums 19:30 Turkele 21:20 Breakup
