InObscuria Podcast Kevin Williams, Tareq

This week Captain Content challenges you to strive for your best, to be all you can be, to feel the burn, and to bring it! Get your phone out and record a video while listening to this one and create one hell of an awesome montage! Oh yeah, the Captain is bringing you the best obscure AOR music, because he’s got the touch, he’s got the power, and is the best around!

This week is all about bands playing other bands’ songs with a twist of lime and a bit of rum… Enjoy the tropics with us in this episode as we showcase hit rock songs performed by reggae and ska artists! Kevin’s heading out to his Summer family vacation at the beach and needs a chilled playlist that encourages skankin’ n’ rawkin’!

It’s not even officially Summer yet here in the deep south of the USA but open a window and you will immediately feel the hot breath of the season upon us. So, with that, the good Captain brings to you some swampy, creepy, backwater blues and southern gothic goodness that runs the gamut of rock n’ punk n’ metal! Go sit out on your front porch, grab your Sunday paper for fanning yourself, swat at those giant mosquitos, and turn this episode up to 11. Get your swamp on!

Captain Content laced up his Doc Martins and led us over to the Pacific Northwest to the land of everything GRUNGE! How is it possible that we are on our 6th ep in this series and we still haven’t played a single note of Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, and Pearl Jam??? Listen along as we uncover the depth of the Seattle scene that invaded the rock n’ roll world over 30 years ago.

It is with heavy hearts that we deliver this week’s episode honoring the passing of a true recording innovator and master of his craft: the amazing Mr. Steve Albini. Our good friend and fellow podcasting brother, Chris L joins us from the awesome Pod Of Thunder podcast. We knew we needed someone who represented the region of the country Steve was from and where he did most of his work; a magical faraway place called Chicagoland. Chris was a musician in the Chicago scene in the 90s when Albini’s “production” was soaring, and his recordings were impacting the rock and alternative world hugely. This a tough loss, as Albini’s ability to capture the true essence of a real rock n’ roll band was second to none.

Meet Captain Content in the pit this week for a hella good time! We’re getting our aggression by revisiting the starting point of Kevin’s music fandom. The thrash, crossover, and speed metal movement of the 80s spawned his love of all things rock n’ punk n’ metal. Once again, we will not be covering the Big 4 of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax; but if you love them, then you will love this bunch.
