It’s time to take a trip to the Land of Opportunity. Yes folks, the United States of America is a country blessed with incredible music, partly thanks to its stew of cultures. For the podcast, we're covering the avalanche of incredible Eighties underground punk and rock bands which would later influence Nirvana. We’ll take an in-depth look at Black Flag, Minor Threat, Sonic Youth, Fugazi and the Butthole Surfers analysing the (on-stage) sex, (plentiful) drugs and shock’n’roll. James sits down with Brendan Morgan of Oxford punk rock band Grub to discuss the scene.
And we look at politics in US football (ok, soccer). Specifically we talk to Stephan Lewis of the Timbers Army, a raucous fan group who follow the Portland Timbers. He is leading a campaign to make the club radically inclusive, but has had to battle with the club of the use of the repurposed anti-facist Iron Front logo. Hear the full story of this fascinating stand-off on the pod.
