So good

I love Jeremy so much - this is a great pod

JimMackney7 ,

Best ever podcast

Jeremy is a fantastic host and each episode has some gold within it even if you don’t know of all the artists! Hard recommend.

Zenarcades ,

Highly recommended

Even if you are not a fan of all the artists on this podcast, you will find something really interesting or insightful within. I especially love the exploration of bands/creative struggles at the start of their journey and the associated stories. Jeremy is a great host and its a huge bonus that not only is he an encyclopaedia of Punk/Post Hardcore but also of Horror films!
