Jammin' Network David Kuhn, Alec Maskell, and Braiden Sunshine

This week Alec and David cover the third major studio release by Pantera, "Far Beyond Driven". The heaviest album to ever top the no. 1 on Billboard, it has been praised by fans, critics, and musicians alike. What is the one thing record companies can learn from trying to tell metal bands to go pop? Keep doing it because it only pisses them off and creates their heaviest record yet. This episode has everything from drills up the butt, to chronic back pain, to David *attempting* to talk like Philip Anselmo. Welcome to the Metal Jam baby!

This week we look at the third studio album by the Pittsburgh Metalcore unit Code Orange, Underneath. Released right at the start of the lockdown this album blends Metalcore, Industrial Metal, and Hard Rock to make it one of the most unique and awesome metal albums of the past decade. A personal favorite of ours, Alec and David will take you through the world of Underneath and also a new segment, METAL NEWS! We look at the headlines of recent metal news and make comments on them with our very academic brains.

David and Alec bring you the first episode of Metal Jammin'! The sub-show where we talk everything metal/hard rock and for the first episode we review the album that became the most loved amongst teens and hated amongst Karen's. Slipknot's 2nd album, Iowa. The sophomore follow up to their self-titled, Iowa was by far the bands heaviest album to date and remains to this day. Coming out just prior to the events of 9/11, we look back 20 years at the band during this time and how they gave everything they had, emotionally and physically, during the recording of this album. So jump into the world of metal with the first episode of METAL JAMMIN'!

Welcome back for Episode 4 of Van Jammin! This week we discuss the famous Jimi Hendrix live set at Woodstock 69'. There are some killer renditions of Voodoo Child and Spanish Castle Magic on this album, just to name a few. Of course, there is the infamous (at the time) rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Hendrix's version is a statement of love and frustration to a country that was fighting a war that many viewed as pointless. We hope you enjoy this special 4th of July episode! Get in the van!

This week we finish our discussion on the To Terrapin album from episode 2. We discuss the second set with a few call backs to the previous episode. Welcome back to the Van.

Welcome back to Van Jammin Episode 2! Now here me out, Donna is actually a good singer. On this episode we discuss the To Terrapin: Hartford 77' live album by the Grateful Dead released in 2009 and was recorded at the Hartford Civic Center on the last night of the Grateful Dead's Famous 1977 spring tour. Hits like Sugaree, Terrapin Station, Not Fade Away, and Estimated Prophet are just a few of our favorites off of this album. With one of the greatest sounding live records the dead have released and with an incredible setlist, it is hard not to get up and dance. We couldn't even cover the whole album in an hour and ended up having to do a part II, that's how good this album is. So strap in and listen to it, ya schmuck.
