Keep on rollin', baby. It's your favorite podcast about nu-metal, featuring Bryan Quinby (Guys) and John Cullen (Blocked Party) covering a classic nu-metal album every month. More than just the music, the podcast really digs into the vibes of the time from two guys who lived it, and never stopped thinking nu-metal was good. Probably because it really, really is.

  • Excellent Show

    This is one if the most captivating shows I’ve ever watched. A tad disappointed on their review of St. Anger and SOAD’s Toxicity, but it’s a good podcast nonetheless. They do seem to dislike political bands a bit.

  • Phenomenal

    A great retrospective on a fascinating genre and era of music. I'd love to hear an episode about Cold's first album.

  • Today you lost a subscriber.

    On their episode """about The Fat Of The Land""" they barely even spoke about the album, shit talked the Prodigy non stop and specifically Keith Flint, saying he was an idiot, as was Liam Howlett. Flint ended his own life in 2019, have some fucking RESPECT.

    The Prodigy are probably the most respected and influential electronic music pioneers in history and these guys just shit on them for two hours.

    Fuck these losers.

Episode 52: Primus' "Frizzle Fry", or The Cult of Virtuosity
Q: What's your history with the band Primus?
Bryan discusses how he saw Primus live many times, recognizing their influence on nu-metal bands.
Episode 55: Soulfly's "Soulfly", or the Plastic "Oh No!" Band
Q: Do you remember what your takeaway was from the Sepultura breakup and Soulfly starting?
I was on his side. I think it's more complex than that now, especially after reading all the articles we read. But yeah, I was kind of on his side because he's the lead singer.
