Tiny Tidal Waves

Prompted by the tragic passing of Brent Hinds, guitarist and vocalist of Mastodon, this week we dive into their back-catalogue and discuss their rise to metal legends.

Kane's searching for a Muse song...will he find it? Did he make it up? Either way, we listen to a bunch of Muse.

This week we're back in the weird part of the 90's listening to music some people called Acid jazz.

Alice In Chains are a beautiful, heavy, dark, gorgeous Heavy Metal band from Seattle.

This week we find out why Ozzy Osbourne was such a legend, and play his most defining vocal recordings.

This week we check out Auckland based 'Cinematic-Jazz' group Carnivorous Plant Society, who are playing at The yard this Friday night.

This week we dive into the wave of Post-Punk! Let's get bleak.

This week I've got Nicky keys in the studio to talk about the album 'Morph The Cat' from Donald Fagen.

This week we talk Deftones and listen to a bunch of their best early songs.

It's like normal Metalcore but with singing, and more Death Metal Influence, specifically from the mid 2000's.

The greatest metal band ever? Tonight it gets ultra heavy with the legendary Sepultura, and I barely talk coz there's too many songs.

Turnstile just released their new album 'Never Enough', so we listen to it in full, as well as revisiting some of their older records.

Tiny Tidal Waves - EP45 - Alt-Rock feat. Bruci Jordan.

It's been a long time coming...This week it's the pioneers of Grunge, Soundgarden.

This week we dive into the pool of Jazz Fusion, and it gets deep.

Low tuning, bass heavy, over-driven amps, big-time fuzz, bluesy riffs, groovy. It's Stoner Rock!

Miguel is in the studio to talk about his early influences. We go from punk to rock, hip-hop, metal and back.

It's not Rockabilly, it's not Punk...It's Psychobilly! Double bass, tall hair and attitude...Oh the horror!

This week it's Grunge! But only from 1990 and 1991, which is why it's part 1!

The Queen of Funk is playing in Auckland, so we celebrate by playing all her hits and talking about her career.

The first Math Rock show was short and soft - good, but unfulfilling. So this time we do it right.

To celebrate the release of the new EP 'Apocalipsync', we listen to the entire discography of local band TeamSquad.

This week we're in the mire of 80's Death Metal!

We only hear two Prince songs but find out slowly that it's basically all Prince.

This week it's Bowie! We listen, we learn. We get to 1983...

This week we re-live the top post-disco bangers, including a new release from local band TeamSquad.

This week we have Odhran Devlin in studio to talk about Snarky Puppy and play his favourite songs!

It had to happen at some point! This week we check out everyone's mum's least favourite genre - hardcore. Specifically early American hardcore.

Another foundational artist, tonight it's all about Prince!

This week we learn about Neo-Soul and premiere a brand new song 'Violet' from Raglan band 'TeamSquad'.

We revisit the explosion of bratty, snarky, punks from the late 90's and early 2000's who knew how to write a killer hook. I'ts not Emo, it's Pop-Punk and it's actually pretty cool.

Dammit. You know this had to happen at some point.

This week I learn about Glam Rock! It's cooler than I thought.

The greatest rock band of all time.

It's hardcore from the early 2000's! Take a trip down a raucous, angry, shouty memory lane.

After 41 years, NOFX have called it a day. So we spend the evening listening to their best songs, album by album.

This week we celebrate the life and music of Quincy Jones.

I'm so sorry. This week is about Yacht Rock, but hold on...it was actually really fun and I learned a lot!

After Thom played in Auckland last week, I thought it only right to dedicate an episode.

This week I'm at Toe (Japanese post/math rock) in Auckland, so I made a special Toe show for you while you're not there.
