The Unblinking Ear
Rock music from the margins: eardrum-testing lo-fi, raunchy garage, vicious but delicious punk, bizarro new wave, unpopular pop, non-pusillanimous indie rock and much more. From meat and potatoes to chromosome-damaged.
Great podcast!

I love this podcast. This music is right up my alley and I don't know any other podcasts that are quite as on point. The podcast also put out a really good mixtape called Serious Rockers I think. Anyway, I've discovered a ton of rad bands. I just discovered this podcast recently, so am going through all the old ones now. Luckily, there's a lot of old ones, so I'm set for a while.

Paul Bruno still has immaculate taste

And a growing network of contacts in independent punk/pop/psych so that his reach is even wider than the last time I reviewed a year back. And I love that he's not afraid, very occasionally, to play a band like Spoon. But mostly it's small independent bands rocking because they enjoy it, or inevitably, because they couldn't stop it if they tried. PB is the master sommelier of independent rock.

Let Paul be the Cyrano de Bergerac of your mixtape. Impress your Roxane with his choice selections, all the while passing them off as your own musical acumen and reaping the benefits. The Unblinking Ear podcast worked for me.
Supposed to be five stars

Somehow my review above is three stars when it should have been five. As far as I can tell, no way to edit or delete once the review finally appears. Holy crap this interface is lousy. Five star podcast all the way, though.

Best Punk Podcast
07/16/2013
If you like musicians/ bands like Ty Segall, Savages, Eddie Suppression Ring, and 100's of bands that you've never heard of but are just as awesome from the present all the way back to classic 77' style punk this is for you. Paul does 2 intermissions when he tells you what you've been listening to, gives a little release info and background on the bands. Always positive with a wry sense of humor. Never pedantic. It's the best. Thanks Paul!
Love it

Great mix of off the beaten path pop rock punk.
A Quietly Excellent Punk Podcast
02/03/2012
The format is really simple. Two blocks of five to six songs, followed by a break down of everything you just heard, how to find it, and one bonus song to end the set. So what's so special about this podcast? It's almost four years worth of outstanding back logged punk/garage/indie gems. Paul Bruno manages to every time find some new band or old one from his massively extensive record collection that you want to check out and get their entire discography. It maybe simple, but it works so well, and is always top quality.
